Namibia vs Lesotho Predictions

Lesotho have a win and defeat in the COSAFA Cup while Namibia have drawn their two games. Given the unbeaten run of Namibia, I am backing them to take the points.

Namibia are unbeaten in their last 7 matches.
Namibia have drawn 6 of their last 7 matches.
Lesotho lost their last match 4-0.

Head to Head

These two played each other four times in 2024, with Namibia winning two, Lesotho one and a draw. They last met in November 2024, a game Namibia won 1-0 in the second leg after Lesotho won the first leg 1-0.

Namibia Form

Namibia may not be known as a giant on the African continent, but they consistently get good results. Defensively they are very solid in particular.

Unbeaten in their last seven games, Namibia will be confident of getting the result required to progress to the final four in this game. However, six of their last seven games have ended in draws, including both COSAFA Cup games thus far.

Namibia kicked their campaign off with a 1-1 draw against 10-man Angola. In a dramatic finish, Angola scored first in the 91st minute before Ivan Kamberipa leveled it back up in the 97th minute. Namibia drew their last game 0-0 against Malawi.

Namibia Squad

Goalkeepers: Edward Maova, Kamaijanda Ndisiro, Jonas Mateus

Defenders: Ryan Nyambe, Ivan Kamberipa, Charles Hambira, Riaan Hanamub, Ananias Gebhardt, Denzil Haoseb, Lubeni Haukongo, Aprocius Petrus, Kennedy Amutenya

Lesotho Form

For a small nation, Lesotho have achieved some decent results of late. In their World Cup qualifiers in March, they lost 2-0 to South Africa and drew 1-1 against Rwanda.

The COSAFA Cup began well with a 1-0 win over Malawi but their goal difference took a pounding against Angola last time out, losing the fixture 4-0.
