Burkina Faso takes on the visitors Cape Verde at “Stade du 4 Aout” in the gameweek six of the Third qualification stage of the Confederation of African Football's Preliminary Competition for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia. The match will be played in Ouagadougou on Tuesday, November 14th.
Burkina Faso is far from being one of the strongest teams of Africa and which squad consists of average footballers. The side has never qualified to the World Cups final stage. The best achievement of Burkina Faso on the continental level is promoting to the final of the Africa Cup of Nations. The team shows solid play in the current qualifying campaign, occupying the second place in group D with six points taken in five encounters. Burkina Faso stays successful at the home field and hasn’t lost any clash in the group, having gained two draws: 1:1 against South Africa and 2:2 vs. Senegal.

Cape Verde cannot even dream about promoting to the World Cup final tournament as the side is considered to be one of the weakest in Africa. Its best result was participation in the quarter-final of the Africa Cup of Nations which it lost in 2013. In this qualifying cycle it can be said that Cape Verde surprises with its results as it has good chances to settle on the second position in Group D standings. All in all the team picked up six points in five matches played in the group so far. On the road Cape Verde managed to beat South Africa 2:1 and lost 0:2 to Senegal.
Cape Verde and Burkina Faso have met four times with 3:1 aggregated score in favour of the upcoming hosts. Burkina Faso demonstrates powerful football in face of its supporters and can easily shut out, therefore, I believe that the hosting side will at least not be beaten in the forthcoming battle.
Prediction for the match: Burkina Faso to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
