After squandering several chances to put the game to bed, Senegal were left kicking themselves as they conceded a 1-0 lead with the final kick of the game against Burkina Faso at the Stade Me Abdoulaye Wade on Friday.

Aliou Cisse's men had taken an early lead through Sadio Mane and should have been out of sight by the time Ousseni Bouda struck in second-half stoppage time.

While Cisse would have been disappointed to see his side drop two points, the Lions of Teranga are now unbeaten in 12 of their last 13 matches, with their only defeat coming at the Africa Cup of Nations against hosts Ivory Coast.

The 2021 champions are expected to be one of the main contenders for next year's continental prize and will be keen to start September's qualifying round with all three points.

Monday's clash with Burundi will be the third AFCON qualifier between the two sides and Senegal will be hoping to maintain their perfect record, having won the previous two meetings by a combined score of 5-1.

Burundi did just enough to fend off Malawi's challenge and emerge with maximum points from a five-goal thriller in Thursday's clash.

Chimwemwe Idana's own goal and a Jean Claude Girumugisha effort were cancelled out by strikes from Chawanangwa Kaonga and Lanjesi Nkhoma before Mokono Eldhino grabbed the winner to send Etienne Ndayiragije's side into raptures.

After a dismal run of five games in all competitions without a win, Les Hirondelles have now won back-to-back games for the first time since 2020 and are unbeaten in four consecutive matches.

Having started their quest to reach the AFCON finals for the first time since 2019 on a positive note, Burundi will be looking to use their momentum to take another step in the right direction as they book their ticket to Morocco.

Burundi possible starting lineup:

Nkurunziza; Musore, Ndayishimiye, Nsabiyumva, Manirakoze; Mossi, Mussa; Girumugisha, Ntibazonkiza, Kanakimana; Shabani

Senegal possible starting lineup:
