Lesotho and Morocco meet in the Africa Cup of Nations Qualifications, and in their last two meetings Morocco won both, including a 7-0 rout in late 2024. This time Lesotho play at home, so the challenge is different from every previous occasion. Lesotho lost their most recent match in this competition, and their defence has been visibly troubled of late, conceding as many as 6.63 shots on target per game across their last 10 matches in all competitions, while Morocco remain clearly superior in possession (56.2%) and won their most recent match in this competition 2-0, even though they lost their previous World Cup game. If Lesotho defend compactly and do not leave gaps for Morocco to play the ball into the box easily, this game should end with the hosts not losing by too wide a margin. Even though Morocco will dominate more, breaking down Lesotho's defence at home is not always easy.
