Lesotho vs Nigeria Predictions - Nigeria poised for comfortable victory over Lesotho
The upcoming match between Lesotho and Nigeria has significant implications, especially for Nigeria. Lesotho, currently fifth in Group D, has struggled with form recently, conceding 14 goals in their last four matches. Despite a promising start, their hopes of qualifying have diminished after heavy losses to South Africa and Benin. On the other hand, Nigeria, sitting third in the group, needs a win against Lesotho to keep their World Cup dreams alive. They remain optimistic after South Africa's points deduction and will aim for victory to set up a decisive match against Benin.
- Lesotho conceded 14 goals in last 4 matches, no goals scored.
- Nigeria needs a win to boost World Cup qualification hopes.
- South Africa's points deduction gives Nigeria a qualification boost.

Lesotho vs Nigeria Predictions
Lesotho have impressed on occasion, but their recent form is very poor with 14 goals conceded in four matches and no goals scored. I am backing the Super Eagles to win this one comfortably.

Head to Head
Earlier in this qualification campaign, Lesotho drew 1-1 in Nigeria. That match took place in November 2023.
Lesotho Form
Lesotho come into this second to last group game of the FIFA World Cup qualifiers fifth in Group D. They have two wins, three draws and three defeats.
Qualification for them is no longer possible but they will want to build on what has been a positive campaign for them. In September, Lesotho lost 3-0 to South Africa in a qualifier and then 4-0 to Benin.
Both were very disappointing results as up to that point; it looked like Lesotho could cause a shock by finishing in the top two.
Nigeria Form
Nigeria will be very concerned with their current position on the table as they are third on 11 points, three points off South Africa and Benin. Anything but a win against Lesotho could prove disastrous.
The Super Eagles will, however, be buoyed by the fact that South Africa were docked three points a few weeks ago, otherwise they would be six points adrift.
Nigeria beat Rwanda 1-0 at home in September before a 1-1 draw in South Africa kept their qualification hopes alive. Victory here could make it a straight shootout for the World Cup with Benin next week.
Verdict
Nigeria are backed to cover the -2 handicap against Lesotho. 3-0 is my correct score tip.
