Lesotho vs Zambia 26.03.2023

Match Day 4 of the African Cup of Nations will see Lesotho host Zambia for the second leg. Lesotho suffered a bruising 3-1 defeat in the first leg against Zambia and have had a below-average performance in the AFCON in recent years, being ranked only 147 by FIFA. No wonder they find themselves at the bottom of Group H. Only one of Lesotho’s previous 20 games in the Africa Cup of Nations has included more than 3.5 goals, and that game was a dismal away loss.

In recent years Zambia has managed to climb the ranks of FIFA points and is now ranked 88th. In group H, they are first place. With Ivory Coast and Comoros yet to play, they have a good chance to proceed to the next round after adding 3 points to their tally.

At the moment both Lesotho and Zambia have very low scoring averages and we can expect this trend to continue in the AFCON. Lesotho has not won a game and has only managed to score a single goal and got one draw which gave them a single point. Zambia are in dominating form against Lesotho and we can expect them to take the second leg as well against Lesotho.
