Burundi vs Gabon: World Cup Qualifiers Live Stream, Form Guide, Head to Head, Schedule, Fixture and Probable Lineups

In the second round of the CAF 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Burundi and Gabon will face each other at the Benjamin Mkapa National Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Both teams enter this match fresh from victories in their initial qualifiers and are eager to continue their winning momentum. Gabon started their qualifying campaign strongly, securing a 2-1 win against Kenya’s Harambee Stars at Stade de Franceville. Despite falling behind to Masoud Juma’s goal, Patrice Neveu’s side turned things around with goals from Denis Bouanga and Guelor Kanga, marking their first victory in five games across different competitions since March’s AFCON qualifiers against Sudan.

Their upcoming challenge involves facing an opponent they’ve struggled to beat in the last five encounters, although four of those matches ended in draws. Seeking their first away win in 2023, Gabon anticipates a difficult task ahead. Burundi, on the other hand, emerged victorious from a thrilling 3-2 match against Gambia’s Scorpions in Dar es Salaam. Goals from Abedi Bigirimana and Frederic Nsabiyumva secured a 2-1 lead at halftime, with Abdallah Said sealing the win later on. Despite Ebrima Colley’s late goal for Gambia, it didn’t affected the outcome.

Consequently, Burundi currently shares the top spot in their World Cup qualifying group with Gabon, both teams having equal points before their upcoming clash. With a track record of four consecutive home victories, Burundi has displayed their strength when playing in front of their home crowd, making them a formidable force.
