Congo Vs. Burkina Faso World Cup 2014 Qualifying Games Schedule Update: Preview And Online Live Streaming [WATCH & LISTEN]

Congo will play against Burkina Faso in a World Cup 2014 qualifying game on Saturday at 10:30 p.m. at the Stade Municipal de Pointe-Noire in Pointe-Noire, Congo, where both highly contested African teams will face off to secure a slot in the region's playoff matches.

Both Congo and Burkina Faso, which are in Group E of Africa's World Cup 2014 qualifying region, are leading their cluster with ten and six points respectively. Gabon, who is ranked third in the group, has four points while Niger only has three points.

Congo, ranked 80th in the world, currently has five goals in their favor and no goals against them while Burkina Faso, ranked 51st globally, also has five goals in their favor but have four goals working against them.

Congo is one of the only few teams in Africa's World Cup 2014 qualifying region that has a 100 percent record after winning their three matches in the group stage so far, according to FIFA.

Congo is also rumored to become one of the first countries to book their place in the final round of qualifying should results go their way this weekend, FIFA also reports.

But Congo isn't the team in the group with a competitive record thus far.  

Burkina Faso has defeated Niger twice (1-0 and 4-0) and tied with powerhouse Ghana (1-1).

While Congo is ranked lower on a global scale than Burkina Faso, the team's performance in the World Cup 2014 qualifying games has them slated as one of the teams most likely to reach the African playoffs.
