Algeria vs Burkina Faso: AFCON prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results, odds today

Algeria look to end a disastrous run of form at the Africa Cup of Nations as they take on Burkina Faso this afternoon.

The two-time champions are still yet to win a game at AFCON since defeating Senegal in the 2019 final.

A shock exit in the group stage two years ago is now at danger of being repeated following a 1-1 draw with Angola to get their campaign in Ivory Coast off the ground.

Burkina Faso are arguably the worst team for them to face in Bouake today too.

Having reached at least the semi-finals in three of their last four trips to AFCON, the confident Stallions kicked off this time around with a late win over Mauritania.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Algeria vs Burkina Faso is scheduled for a 2pm GMT kick-off today, January 20, 2024.

The match will take place at Stade de la Paix in Bouake.
