Ivory Coast vs Burkina Faso Tips, Prediction & Live Stream
Ivory Coast continue their Africa Cup of Nations trophy defence when they square off against a dangerous Burkina Faso side on Tuesday night in Marrakech.
It hasn't been the smoothest tournament for Ivory Coast heading into this R16 showdown, but they remain unbeaten at the AFCON in their last 10 games and will now be looking to set up a blockbuster quarter-final encounter with Egypt by winning here. The Elephants produced a spectacular 3-2 comeback victory over Gabon to secure their spot in the R16, while Burkina Faso have continued their consistency at this tournament, advancing to the knockout stage in five of their last six appearances, finishing second behind Algeria in Group E.
I think BTTS - Yes is good value at $2.20 here. Ivory Coast haven't been all that convincing at the back this tournament, while Burkina Faso have managed to score five goals in their last three meetings with the AFCON defending champions. Burkina Faso have shown they're in good form with six wins from their last seven in all competitions, so they have the ability to find the back of the net. However, Ivory Coast still have the superior side and are expected to find a way to win this one, with Man United winger Amad Diallo looking to add to the two goals he scored in the group stage.

Ivory Coast vs Burkina Faso Head To Head
These two nations have met a total of 20 times throughout history, with Ivory Coast winning nine and Burkina Faso prevailing three times, alongside eight draws. This will be their first encounter at an AFCON since 2012.
Ivory Coast Form Analysis
Ivory Coast got the job done in the 'Group of Death', finishing top ahead of Cameroon, Mozambique and Gabon to extend their trophy defence into the R16.
The Elephants opened their campaign with a 1-0 victory over Mozambique before settling for a 1-1 draw with Cameroon as Amad Diallo found the back of the net in both games.
Emerse Fae’s side were then forced to dig deep in their final group game, recovering from a 2-0 deficit to overcome Gabon 3-2. Jean-Philippe Krasso got his side back into the game shortly before half time, with late goals from Evann Guessand and Bazoumana Toure securing the win.
With their last two AFCON R16 ties going to penalties, Ivory Coast will be desperate to avoid the lottery of a shootout here.

Burkina Faso Form Analysis
Burkina Faso have become accustomed to reaching the AFCON R16, doing so now in five of their last six appearances at the tournament after finishing second in Group E behind Algeria and three points ahead of Sudan.
Brama Traore’s side got their campaign up and running with a 2-1 victory over Equatorial Guinea in a crazy game that saw Burkina Faso score both their goals in the 95th and 98th minutes.
A 1-0 loss to Algeria followed, but The Stallions regrouped strongly to secure the second automatic qualifying spot in the group, toppling Sudan 2-0 as Lassina Traore and Arsene Kouassi got on the scoresheet.
Burkina Faso's best result at the AFCON was a runner-up showing in 2013 and they would love nothing more than to upset their West African neighbours to reach the quarter-finals here.
