Angola vs Burkina Faso Prediction: This fierce AFCON final group game will end in favour of the away side

Angola will face off against Burkina Faso at the Stade de Yamoussoukro Stadium on Monday. This match is going to be a thrilling encounter as Angola is determined to make it to the knockout stage for the first time in three campaigns. Burkina Faso, their opponent, is equally motivated to secure a place in the next round and currently holds the first and second spots on the log. There's a high possibility that both teams could advance to the knockout stage if Algeria fails to win against Mauritania. It's going to be a tough but exciting match, and both teams are expected to give it their all.

FIFA Ranking: 117th

The Giant Sable Antelopes have been solid in this tournament, with four points from a combined six. Angola march here following their (2-3) hard fought victory over Mauritania. The five-goal thriller was a joy to watch as Gelson Dala's brace and a goal for Gilberto secured them the maximum points over their opponent. Angola who began their journey with a (1-1) stalemate against Algeria, sit in first place on the standings. 

Angola are still searching for their first-ever AFCON trophy; their best time in the tournament was in 2008 and 2010. Then, they finished in the quarterfinals in both seasons. Angola had a fantastic run in this qualifier, winning twice, losing once, and sharing the spoils in three games. 

It seems like Angola is determined to leave a mark in this group, especially considering their past two appearances in this tournament, where they couldn't secure a win. 

Angola Likely lineup: Neblu, Augusto, Gaspar, Buatu, Carneiro, Luvumbo, Fredy, Gelson, Keliano, Milson, Mabululu

Key Player: Agostinho Cristóvão Paciência (Mabululu)

FIFA Ranking: 57th

The Stallions have picked up four points in this tournament over their last two games. After their opening day victory, Burkina Faso stood their ground against a solid Algeria side. Mohamed Konate scored with the last kick before the break; however, Algeria responded in the second half. Bertrand Traore scored again from the spot to take the lead, while Baghdad Bounedjah scored for Algeria as they split points. 

Burkina Faso have a stern test ahead of their clash against Angola as they must at least secure a point to stand a chance of advancing from this group.

Burkina Faso Likely Lineup: Konate; Tapsoba, Dayo, Nagalo, Guiebre; Blati Toure, Aziz Ki, Guira, Sangare; Ouattara, Traore

Key Player: Bertrand Traore

Both teams have an equal record of two wins apiece, with two games ending in a stalemate. Despite Burkina Faso scoring only one open play goal in the tournament, their performance against Algeria was noteworthy. On the other hand, Angola conceded twice in their last game but still managed to secure a victory against Mauritania. Given the attacking prowess displayed by both teams in their recent games and the high quality on the pitch, I am confident that this encounter will produce more than two goals.

Burkina Faso are a solid side and the favorite to come on top here; bet on an away win in either half for 1.74.

We expect an open game with goals at both ends for 2.34.

Good luck!
