How does Burkina Faso's tackle profile look this season?

Burkina Faso are averaging 8.8 tackles per game over 10 games and concede 10.6 for a match-total of 19.4. That ranks 45th of 47 for team tackles among CAF World Cup Qualifiers teams on their 2026 record across all competitions. They average 88 tackles per take-on attempted against them (opposition averages 0.5 take-ons/g).

How is the tackle matchup read calculated?

Tackle matchup blends the defender's tackles per game (50%), the opposition attacker's take-on rate (30%), and the defender's underlying tackle propensity (20%). For the upcoming fixture against Mauritania, the page's matchup read uses each opposition forward's last-season dribble rate to weight Burkina Faso's defenders.

Where do these tackle stats come from?

All numbers come from match-level Sportmonks data ingested into Statz - 10 Burkina Faso fixtures in the active window for 2026. Player odds come from Bet365 player markets when priced. Pre-match lineups are predicted lineups until team news lands, then confirmed.

What counts as a qualifying appearance?

A player must have featured for at least 20 minutes in a fixture for that match to count toward their tackle rate and form. Cameo appearances are excluded so the rates aren't diluted by 5-minute substitutions.

Do tackles count attempted or only successful?

We count attempted tackles per Sportmonks' definition. That matches what Bet365 settles 1+ tackles markets on, so the page's hit-rate and the bookmaker's pricing are aligned.
