Algeria
Riyad Mahrez, who could not be decisive against Angola, seeks to aid Algeria's attacking performance this time against the Stallions.
On the other flank is Youcef Belaili, whose directness and aggressive ball-carrying could disrupt Burkina Faso's defence.
Belmadi could start the same side that played their first game, with no reported injuries to the Fennecs.
Algeria possible starting lineup:
Mandrea; Atal, Mandi, Bensebaini, Ait Nouri; Bentaleb; Belaili, Bennacer, Chaibi, Mahrez; Bounedjah
Burkina faso
As for the Stallions, Velud has a decision to make over Traore starting or coming off the bench like he did against Mauritania.
It remains to be seen if Dango Ouattara is fit to play, having been in the wars against the Lions of Chinguetti.
Defensively, Edmond Tapsoba had a commendable showing in round one, and the Bayer Leverkusen defender should be pivotal against the Fennecs.
Burkina Faso possible starting lineup:
Koffi; Kabore, Dayo, Tapsoba, Yago; Guira, Toure; Traore, Ki, Badolo; Konate
Prediction: Algeria 2-1 Burkina Faso
