Our pre-match preview

Burkina Faso are likely to dominate possession and push forward through their wide players, looking to break down a Mauritania side that may sit deep and defend in numbers. Expect a cautious first half that opens up if one team gets an early goal.

The key battle will be Burkina Faso's wide attackers against Mauritania's full-backs, with the home side's ability to deliver crosses and win second balls likely to shape the flow. Mauritania's counter-attacks will be their main route to goal, so the discipline of the home defence on the break matters most.
