Burundi will open their quest for a 2026 World Cup slot with a home game against Gambia in the CAF qualifiers. These two nations clash in Group F of the competition, which also has Kenya, Ivory Coast, Gabon and Seychelles. A 3-0 away loss to Cameroon in September marks Burundi’s last action as they missed out on an AFCON 2023 place. That match also marked the sixth straight game in which they conceded more than a goal. All of the six matches have had over 2.5 goals with Burundi winning just once. In each of their last 17 matches, Burundi have conceded at least a goal. Burundi haven't managed a win in their last four matches in World Cup qualification. Meanwhile, both teams have scored in three of their four World Cup qualification matches.

Gambia’s last action was also in September as they drew 2-2 with Congo in an AFCON 2023 qualifier. That result marked their third unbeaten outing, a run in which they have two wins. Going into this game, Gambia are in much better shape compared to Burundi. They have lost just once in their last five matches and have two clean sheets in the five games. Both teams scored in Gambia’s last two matches, and these two also produced over 2.5 goals. Gambia have however failed to score twice in the last five matches. Heading into this game an area to address will be their away form in World Cup qualification. Gambia have lost each of their last five away matches in World Cup qualification. They have no win in 10 away matches in World Cup qualifiers, losing eight.
