Tipster’s Angle

Senegal has done exceptionally well this season in the Africa Cup of Nations as they are unbeaten so far. One cannot count out Burkina Faso, but Senegal is a little too strong for them here and are likely to win the match.

Tip: Senegal To Win @ 1.82

In the 2017 world cup qualifiers, Senegal drew both of its head-to-head encounters against Burkina Faso. Senegal, on the other hand, is in fantastic form right now, having gone undefeated in their last ten games. Senegal has won eight and drawn three of its previous eleven matches in all competitions. In its last ten matches across all competitions, Burkina Faso has won five, drawn four, and lost only one. Burkina Faso has only lost one match in the competition thus far, while Senegal has yet to lose. As a result, Senegal has a good chance of winning the match in regulation time and progressing to the next round. At the Melbet sportsbook, 1.82 odds are available for the same.

Tip: Both Teams To Score @ 2.50

Four goals were scored in the last two head-to-head matchups between these two teams, with one of them including both teams scoring. Senegal has scored in eight of their last ten matches across all competitions, with five of those matchups including both teams scoring. Burkina Faso, on the other hand, has scored in each of their last ten encounters, with six of them seeing both teams scoring. In three of Burkina Faso’s five matches at the Africa Cup of Nations, both teams have scored. As a result, given the Betway sportsbook’s 2.50 odds, both teams are expected to score.

Conclusion

Senegal is the firm favorite to win the Africa Cup of Nations this season and they are very likely to march on to the finals to face Egypt or Cameroon. Burkina Faso had an exceptional run far and is likely to end here.
