Burkina Faso and Algeria will battle for three points in a 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier in Marrakesh, Morocco on Tuesday.

Burkina Faso come into the game on the back of a 2-0 away victory over Niger on Thursday. Lassina Traore and Mohamed Konate scored late goals to give the Stallions all three points.

Algeria ran riot in an 8-0 whitewash of 10-man Djibouti on the same day. Islam Slimani was the star of the show with four goals while Riyad Mahrez also got in on the act with a late strike.

The convincing victory helped the Desert Foxes climb to the summit of Group A on goal difference. Burkina Faso are just below them in second spot.
