The Etalons secured a narrow ak168app.baby 1-0 ak168app.baby victory over Mauritania on Friday, 13 November, with Elohim Kabore scoring in the closing stages. They must now prepare for the return fixture in Nouakchott, where journalist and sports consultant Adama Salambere believes the host ak168app.club ak168app.club s will be determined to resp ks168app.site ond in front of their own supporters.
The match carries added importance because every point matters in the race for qualificati ks168app.site on from Group F. Salambere expects Mauritania, known as the Mourabitounes, to approach the game with a strong desire to achieve a posit ic88 ic88 ive result.
“I expect a much more diffi ic88 ic88 cult match in Mauritania. We will be on their ground and they will do everything to get a result,” he said.
Salambere pointed to the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers as a warning from the past. Mauritania pro ic88 ic88 ved a major obstacle for Burkina Faso during that campaign, and he believes that experience means the Etalons must avoid underestimating their opponents in Nouakchott.

“It will be necessary to double our efforts and rediscover the identity of play that we know from the Etalons in order to get a result in Mauritania,” he said.
The Burkina op88 Faso players, under Amir Abdou, will op88 therefore need to produce a more convincing display in Nouakchott.
