Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the friendly clash between Russia and Burkina Faso, scheduled for this Friday evening as both squads gear up for their upcoming international fixtures.

Burkina Faso will take on Russia this Friday at 17:00 GMT in a friendly that marks the very first meeting in history between the two national teams.

This match is part of both teams’ preparations for their forthcoming international commitments, making the most of the current FIFA window to fine-tune their lineups and assess their squads.

The Russian Bear heads into this fixture determined to bounce back after a defeat to Egypt (1-0). Prior to that setback, Valeri Karpin’s men had dominated Nicaragua and drawn with Mali during the March international break.

On the other side, the Stallions arrive in high spirits under the guidance of new head coach Amir Abdou. Burkina Faso recently delivered an impressive 5-0 victory over Guinea-Bissau before drawing 1-1 in their second meeting with the same opponent.
