Both Teams To Score & Mahrez To Score Anytime
Algeria vs Burkina Faso Preview & Prediction (14:00 KO)
Burkina Faso take on Algeria in a top of the table clash in the Africa Cup of Nations’ Group D, with Riyad Mahrez and co. looking to bounce back after being held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by Angola in their opening match of the tournament.
It’s a result that leaves the Algerians in second place, behind Burkina Faso – who currently boast three points to their name. Hubert Velud’s side recorded a narrow 1-0 victory deep into added time against Mauritania in their opening game of the tournament, where Aston Villa forward Bertrand Traore converted the winning spot kick.
Mauritania are now unbeaten in four consecutive competitive matches, whilst Algeria are without a defeat in an incredible 13 straight matches. You’d need to go all the way back to February 2023 to find their last loss, which came in the form of a penalty shootout defeat to Senegal at the African Nations Championship.
We at SportsLens believe that Algeria’s draw against Angola was a mere blip in form, and that they’ll bounce back with a victory against the Burkinabe to move to climb to the top of Group D on Saturday.
Prediction: Algeria 3-1 Burkina Faso

Algeria vs Burkina Faso Betting Tips
- Both Teams To Score @ 11/8
- Riyad Mahrez To Score Anytime @ 21/10
- Combined Bet Builder Odds @ 9/2
Algeria vs Burkina Faso Betting Tip 1: Both Teams To Score @ 11/8
Our first tip for your Saturday afternoon Algeria vs Burkina Faso Africa Cup of Nations bet builder is to back both teams to score in the match, priced by leading UK betting sites at a generous 11/8.
Algeria have scored in each of their last eight matches across all competitions, while Burkina Faso have also scored in each of their last six fixtures. Both teams clearly have an eye for goal.
Of course, the Algerians’ opener saw both teams score in the match, and the feat has also been achieved in three of their last four games against Burkina Faso. We at SportsLens are backing this trend to be continued on Saturday with both teams netting at least once.
Algeria vs Burkina Faso Betting Tip 2: Riyad Mahrez To Score Anytime @ 21/10
Former Manchester City winger Riyad Mahrez has provided some strong goalscoring returns in Saudi Arabia since joining Al-Ahli in the summer, netting nine goals and assisting seven times in 20 matches across all competitions.
The Algerian skipper chipped in with a goal in the 4-0 win over Burundi in his side’s final preparation match ahead of the competition, but failed to build on that in their group opener against Angola – recording zero shots on target throughout the clash.
We at SportsLens believe that it’s just a matter of time before he opens his goalscoring account at the tournament though, whether that be in open play or from the penalty spot, and are backing the five time Premier League winner to do just that against Burkina Faso on Saturday, priced at 21/10.
