Head to Head

Morocco have the advantage over Lesotho, with eight victories to two in ten meetings.

Morocco beat Lesotho 1-0 and 7-0 in 2024.

Lesotho Form

Lesotho came away empty-handed in their AFCON Group A opener against Niger last week, losing 2-1 away.

Likuena had 49% possession and 14 shots in the game, with four attempts on target.

Before that result, LNFT drew 1-1 and lost 4-0 in back-to-back friendly internationals against Kenya in June.

Likuena have registered one victory in their last five games, with two defeats and two draws. They scored four goals and conceded eight.

Lesotho have managed one win in their last seven matches, which is not the ideal form to have when taking on a Morocco side that recently reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup.

Morocco Form

Morocco faced Gabon in their opening Africa Cup of Nations Group A match last week, easing to comfortable a 2-0 victory at home.

The Atlas Lions had 68% possession and 17 shots in the match, with four attempts on target.

Before that, Morocco had a solid 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign. After progressing out of the group stages, they beat the Netherlands 3-2 on penalties after the score ended 1-1 in the round of 32 and defeated Canada 3-0 in the round of 16 before losing to France 2-0 in the quarter-finals.

Morocco have won four of their last five matches, with one defeat. They scored ten goals and conceded three.

Morocco will fancy their chances of winning back-to-back Africa Cup of Nations qualifying games, as they have been performing well recently, winning five of their last six fixtures.
