Algeria and Burkina Faso have faced each other five times since 2013, with Algeria remaining a very difficult opponent to overcome. While both teams have shared goals in past meetings, Algeria have generally shown more control and consistency across competitions.

Current form also favors Algeria. They arrive unbeaten in their last 11 matches, showing stability both defensively and offensively. Burkina Faso are also in good shape with a seven-match unbeaten run, but Algeria possess greater squad depth and more proven match-winners at this level.
