The CAR will take on Burkina Faso on Wednesday in Tanzania, looking to begin their 2024 African Nations Championship (Chan) campaign with a win. Burkina Faso, who have already played their opener, sit bottom of Group B. Read on for our prediction for this match.
Burkina Faso had a disappointing start to their campaign, falling 2-0 to co-hosts Tanzania in Dar Es Salaam. Issa Balbone’s men were outclassed in the late kickoff and created zero goal-scoring chances.
The Stallions had 39% of the possession as they struggled to contain the rampant hosts. Another loss and they will be in serious jeopardy of exiting yet another Chan tournament in the group stages.
The CAR are making their debut in this tournament and will be eager to put on a strong representation. Coached by Eloge Enza, Fauves de Bas-Oubangui qualified for the tournament in dramatic fashion.
Written off by probably everyone aside from the team’s faithful, the CAR eliminated continental giants Cameroon over two legs. They lost the first leg 1-0 before making a stunning comeback to win 2-1 away from home.
Bertillon Yangana, who is in the squad in Tanzania, scored a late winner in the 87th minute. The CAR, who are ranked 40th in Africa, are making their first appearance at a major tournament.

Our Burkina Faso vs Central African Republic Prediction
Our prediction for Burkina Faso vs the CAR is that Burkina Faso wins the match. Burkina Faso are placed almost 30 places above the CAR in FIFA’s world rankings in Africa. They are a more recognised footballing nation than the CAR and have had tremendous success regionally.
Though they were outclassed in their opener by hosts Tanzania, we fancy the West Africans to bounce back in this match. This is because their opponents have found it hard to win matches. And to top it off, haven’t played a competitive game since March.
