Djibouti vs Burkina Faso Prediction and Betting Tips | 5th September 2025

Burkina Faso take on hapless Djibouti at the Estádio 24 de Setembro in neutral Guinea-Bissau on Friday in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Ranked 63rd in the world, the Stallions are currently in second place in Group A with 11 points and three wins from six games.

Back-to-back wins over Djibouti and Guinea-Bissau in March have boosted their progression hopes, with the West African side well-placed to reach the next round of qualifiers.

Burkina Faso might as well achieve a direct spot in next year's showpiece, but need to win all their remaining games for that and also hope that group leaders Egypt slip up somewhere.

Cousins Lassina Traore and Bertrand Traore are leading their charge with eight goals between them, which is almost 62% of their total goals scored in the campaign so far.

By contrast, Djibouti are on the brink of getting knocked out of the World Cup race as they sit rock-bottom of the standings with one point, gained courtesy of a 1-1 draw with Ethiopia on matchday three.

In their most recent qualifying fixture, though, the Shoremen of the Red Sea were crushed 6-1 by Ethiopia as Bereket Desta and Abubeker Nassir each netted a hat-trick.
