Tied at the top of Group L of the CAN 2025 qualifiers, Burkina Faso and Senegal meet on Thursday evening for one of the shocks of this fourth day. Already qualified, the two teams will play for first place in the group.
Prestigious match this Thursday between Burkina Faso and Senegal during the CAN 2025 qualifiers. Already qualified for the next African Cup of Nations – Burundi, 3rd in the group, being mathematically too far away, the two teams will compete first place in group L, currently occupied by the Burkinabés (+7 against +6 for the Senegalese).
For Burkina Faso, the objective will be to build on its current good momentum. Brama Traoré's players remain on five matches without defeat and have just scored two clear victories in October against Burundi (4-1 then 2-0). On neutral ground in Bamako, no stadium being approved by CAF in Burkina Faso, they will try to bring down an opponent whom they have often held in check but never beaten in the 21st century.
Opposite, Senegal is also on a good dynamic. The Lions of Teranga are undefeated since the last African Cup of Nations, despite the change of coach. Taking over as interim after the departure of Aliou Cissé, Pape Bouna Thiaw will experience his second gathering and will try to keep the series going. If he gave a good place to the players of the Senegalese championship, he will also rely on Sadio Mané, scorer in the two matches against Malawi in October.
At what time and on which TV channel to watch Burkina Faso – Senegal?
The match between Burkina Faso and Senegal, counting for the CAN 2025 qualifiers, will take place Thursday November 14 at the Stade du 26 mars in Bamako (Mali) in 20:00. It will be followed live on beIN Sports 1.
The words “Minnesota Miracle” and “No-Call” are erased from my vocabulary. My heart mourns the retirement of Drew Brees.
