Lesotho have lost three of their four AFCON qualifiers and have just one point to their name.

After losing 3-1 away to Central African Republic, they lost 1-0 at home to Morocco in the last minute. Two matches against Gabon followed, drawing 0-0 away and losing 2-0 at home.

They have since played two CHAN qualifiers. With only domestically-based players, they beat Namibia 1-0 and lost 1-0 in the second leg before winning on penalties.

Lesotho Injuries & Team News

Lesotho’s squad is almost all players based in the country. Motebang Sera of Royal AM in South Africa is the key attacking weapon.

Tshwarelo Bereng will bring creativity in midfield and Tumelo Khutlang offers pace and a dangerous left foot on the flank.

Les Fauves have just three points from four AFCON qualifiers. They have lost four of their last five matches across all competitions.

In September, a 3-1 AFCON qualifying win over Lesotho got them off to a good start. A 2-0 loss away to Gabon followed.

CAR have lost their last two qualifiers by big margins. They were thrashed 5-0 and then 4-0 in two clashes vs Morocco with both matches being played in the homeland of their opponents.

Amiens forward Louis Mafouta is the team’s chief goal threat. He has 16 goals for his nation in just 29 caps.
