Togo vs Burundi Prediction 25 September 2026
🔊 Togo have not played at the Africa Cup of Nations since 2017, while Burundi have appeared there just once - in 2019. In the July FIFA rankings, Togo are 119th and Burundi 142nd. With only two qualification spots available in a group containing Algeria and Zambia, dropping points early could prove costly for both sides.
Head-to-Head
These two sides have no previous meetings on the football pitch.
Head-to-head statistics Togo - Burundi

Togo Team Overview
In February, Frenchman Patrice Neveu took charge of the Togo national team, replacing Daré Nibombé. For the 72-year-old coach, this is his sixth African national team job. Togo have gone unbeaten in four friendly matches under him and thrashed Benin 5-1 in June. In official matches, however, it is a different story: Togo have gone without a win in 15 of their last 17. The weak point is the defence - at home, Neveu's side have conceded in 10 of their last 11 AFCON qualifying matches. Defender Henri Koudossou has received his first call-up to the squad, while Kennedy Boateng has missed out due to injury.
Match Results: Togo

Burundi Team Overview
Burundi are managed by Patrick Sangwa, and his side came through the preliminary qualifying round in the spring without conceding a goal. They beat Chad twice, both times 4-0, with Bienvenu Kanakimana scoring three times across those two matches. Chad, however, are among the lowest-ranked sides in FIFA's rankings, and away from home in Africa Cup of Nations qualifying, Burundi have conceded in nine of their last ten matches. After Lomé, they face a home match against Algeria.

Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the most likely correct score outcomes are 1-0 (15.06%), 1-1 (11.55%) and 0-1 (11.22%). The first option - a narrow home win - stands out as the most probable.
The Reliable Bet
Togo have scored more than two goals in just 2 of their last 24 AFCON qualifying matches. Their recent official results are even more modest: in their last five, they have managed no more than one goal per game. Three goals from the hosts against Burundi is the kind of outcome that almost never happens in their official matches. Togo Team Total - Under 2.5 is a reliable bet, albeit at a modest price.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
In their last five official matches combined, Togo's games have produced fewer than three goals. The Togolese themselves have scored more than two goals in just 2 of their last 24 AFCON qualifying matches. At home the picture is similar - Togo have scored more than two goals in only 1 of their last 8 home matches. Goals from both sides seem likely, but we're not expecting a high-scoring affair. Our bet is Total Goals - Under 2.5. Predicted score: 1-1.
