Algeria vs Burkina Faso Prediction and Betting Tips for Matchday 2 of the Africa Cup of Nations, scheduled for Sunday, December 28, 2025, at 17:30 GMT. The match will be broadcast live on 4Seven and Channel 4. This highly anticipated clash takes place at the Stade Prince Moulay Hassan in Rabat, with both teams sitting on three points after successful opening games. While the Desert Foxes looked incredibly polished in their first outing, the Stallions showed the kind of grit that makes them a nightmare for any opponent. In this article, you’ll discover Statistical Association Football Predictions from XpertStats tipsters.
- Algeria enter the game following a dominant 3:0 win over Sudan in their opener.
- Riyad Mahrez is in peak form having scored twice in the first matchday.
- Burkina Faso secured a dramatic 2:1 victory with two goals in stoppage time.
- The last three meetings between these two nations have all ended in draws.
- Algeria are currently unbeaten in their last 11 international fixtures.
- Edmond Tapsoba remains the defensive anchor for the Stallions after his late winner.
Algerian defender Aissa Mandi has supported CAF's decision to move the Africa Cup of Nations to a four-year cycle starting in 2029. Mandi believes aligning with tournaments like the Euros will benefit African football’s overall structure. However, the change remains controversial; Mali coach Tom Saintfiet criticized the shift, citing a lack of respect for the competition's biennial tradition, which has existed since 1957.
Algeria looks like the most complete team in Group E after their scintillating performance on the opening matchday. The way they dismantled Sudan was not just about the scoreline; it was about the control they exerted throughout the ninety minutes. Riyad Mahrez remains the focal point of their attack, and his brace suggests he is determined to lead this golden generation back to continental glory. When you look at the statistics, Algeria has won seven of their last nine matches, showing a level of consistency that Burkina Faso currently lacks. While the Stallions were lucky to win their opener with two very late goals, Algeria was comfortable from the second minute. This gap in quality and current confidence should be enough for the Desert Foxes to secure all three points. Their tactical discipline under Petkovic has improved significantly, making them much harder to break down on the counter.
