Russia and Burkina Faso, both absent from the upcoming FIFA World Cup, will face each other in an international friendly on Friday, aiming to enhance their performance. This match in Volgograd between the ‘National Team’ and the ‘Stallions’ will be far from the glare and pressure of the World Cup, so our prediction features the visitors avoiding a defeat.
Owing to the Ukraine war, Russia are suspended from FIFA and UEFA competitions, which explains their absence from the upcoming World Cup. Burkina Faso failed to qualify from Africa, extending their record of having never qualified for the World Cup.
Russia’s last appearance on the football stage was in a 1-0 loss to Egypt in a friendly in May. That continued their indifferent recent run of results, winning just one of their last five matches (D2, L2). That said, they had a sequence of 17 games where they avoided a defeat. At home, however, they could win just one of their last four matches (D2, L1).
Burkina Faso drew 1-1 and won 5-0 against Guinea-Bissau in the set of consecutive matches last played in March. These results mean that Burkina Faso has suffered only two defeats in their last 12 games, winning eight of those matches. The ‘Stallions’ have been competitive on the road too, winning three of their last five trips.

Our Russia vs Burkina Faso Prediction
Both Russia and Burkina Faso are out of the World Cup action for contrasting reasons. While Russia are suspended from any international/continental competitions, the African visitors failed to qualify for the global tournament. Neither team can lay claim to sustained form in recent matches, which makes this a tough game to predict.
Russia haven’t quite dominated at home, while Burkina Faso haven’t folded out easily even on the road. That’s why our Russia vs Burkina Faso prediction is draw or Burkina Faso.
