How to watch Algeria vs Burkina Faso: TV & streaming details, preview as Group E favourites push for AFCON round of 16

Watch Algeria vs Burkina Faso at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations today, as FourFourTwo brings you a comprehensive guide on live streams and TV coverage wherever you are in the world.

Emphatic winners in their first match, Algeria strengthened their AFCON 2025 credentials with captain Riyad Mahrez leading by example.

The former Manchester City and Leicester City man scored inside the first two minutes against Sudan and added a second on the hour as Algeria won 3-0 in Rabat.

In search of a third Africa Cup of Nations title, Vladimir Petković's side know that a win against Burkina Faso would be more than the victory that sends them into the round of 16.

Beating Sudan was a bare minimum but they did it in some style. Defeating Burkina Faso, who displayed their frailties against Equatorial Guinea, would be a statement.

Read on as FourFourTwo brings you all the information on how to watch Algeria vs Burkina Faso online, on TV, and from anywhere.

Algeria vs Burkina Faso: Preview

The Burkinabe were made to dig deep in their first match. After falling behind against a very capable Equatorial Guinea team, they made little headway despite playing against 10 men.

Stoppage time goals from Seattle Sounders winger Georgi Minoungou and Bayer Leverkusen defending Edmond Tapsoba squeaked them over the line but they were far from convincing.

Nevertheless, three points in Casablanca simplified the equation for Brama Traore's Stallions.

If they beat Algeria, they're through to the round of 16. It won't make much difference to them how they won their first two games if they've won them both.

Algeria, though, will be full of confidence. They defeated Sudan at a canter in Rabat and won't have seen much in Burkina Faso's display to unduly worry them.

There are goals aplenty in Petkovic's ranks and the likes of Mahrez, Baghdad Bounedjah and Mohamed Amoura will see nothing in front of them but a chance to fill their boots.

They too played a majority of their group opener against 10 men after Sudan's Salah Adil was sent off before half time.

Sunday's game against Burkina Faso promises to be much more challenging but Algeria look like they mean business.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Algeria 2-1 Burkina Faso

It's difficult to judge relative performances against different opposition but Burkina Faso need to raise their game in their tougher second game. We're saying Algeria win.
