Burkina Faso – Ethiopia: Prediction & Betting Tips

Africa Cup of Nations Group A teams Burkina Faso and Ethiopia will play at the Bafoussam City Stadium in the third round.

The Burkina Faso team showed a 50% success rate in the two opening rounds of the ACN 2022 group round. The team started the tournament with a 1-2 loss to Cameroon but then managed to score three points in a face-to-face meeting with Cape Verde, winning with a minimum score. Thus, the modest team retained an excellent chance of reaching the playoffs.

The Ethiopian national team did not score points in two quartet games. The national team started the tournament with a minimal defeat from Cape Verde (0:1) and then lost heavily to Cameroon (1:4), although they were the first to open the scoring in the game.

The bookmakers give a solid advantage in this meeting to the nominal owners of the field. You can bet on P1 with a coefficient of 1.75, and the probability of winning a bet on P2 is estimated at 5.30. At the same time, a draw is estimated by experts at 3.35.

Previously, the opponents managed to hold three brawls, in which the advantage was on the side of the Burkina Faso team – two wins against one for Ethiopia. It is noteworthy that the teams organized a riding outcome in all three face-to-face meetings.

What to bet on in this match? My sympathies here are on the side of the favorite. Despite the absence of stars in the squad, the Burkina Faso team has more experience playing in the main tournament of the African continent than Ethiopia, which was inferior to the opponent in the previous two duels. At the same time, the tournament position obliges the nominal guests to play exclusively to win, which will provide an opportunity for Burkina Faso to act productively in counterattacks. By the way, a goal was recorded in all matches of the teams in the group in the first half.
