Burkina Faso ceded some ground in their push for qualification to the final stage of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in Africa after drawing 1-1 with Niger. They will be traveling to Algeria hoping for a win, as that is the only way they can finish top of Group A. Algeria are top of the group with 13 points and Burkina Faso are second with 11. Any result other than a loss will be enough for Algeria and being the team with the best attacking returns in the qualifiers, they should be able to seal this. Algeria have scored four or more goals in four of their last five in this group, and have a total of 23 goals in five matches in this group. In their last 17 home matches in World Cup qualification, Algeria have no loss, and won 14.

Burkina Faso drew 1-1 with Niger in their last game and even without that, they’d still need a win in this game. They have an inferior goal difference against Algeria but just like Algeria, they have three clean sheets in five matches. Burkina Faso aren’t as good in attack, but their defensive numbers match Algeria’s in this group; they’ve scored just 10 and conceded two. In their last five away matches in World Cup qualification, Burkina Faso have failed to score in just one game. Going to this one they have four clean sheets in five World Cup qualification matches away from home.
