Lesotho vs Central African Republic prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - November 14, 2024
In the fifth round of Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, Lesotho will face the Central African Republic (CAR). The match is scheduled for Thursday, November 14, with a 14:00 CET kickoff. I recommend a bet on the match winner and total goals.
Match Preview
Lesotho currently sits in the mid-200s in the FIFA world rankings and has never reached the final stages of any international tournaments.
No surprises came in this qualification cycle either, as Lesotho has already lost its chances of advancing to the Africa Cup of Nations. With just one point from four matches, they occupy the last spot in their group.
CAR, similarly, has limited success in terms of results. Their only win so far was against Lesotho, while they suffered three losses. They trail second-placed Gabon by four points and have already lost to them once. While there’s a theoretical chance of advancing, CAR’s fate largely depends on other results.
Match Facts
- Lesotho has scored in only one of their last five games.
- CAR has lost three matches in a row, with a total score of 0-11.
- Lesotho scores an average of 0.6 goals per game at home, while CAR scores an average of 1.2 goals per game away.
Probable Lineups
- Lesotho: Moerane, Matlabe, Makele, Rasethuntša, Sefoli, Makoele, Lebokollane, Taba, Bereng, Molane, Motebang.
- CAR: Lambe, Yangao, Yambere, Zanganga, Ndobe, Ngoma, Pirioya, Kondogbia, Namnganga, Koyalipu, Mafuta.
Head-to-Head
Their only previous encounter ended in a 3-1 victory for CAR.
Prediction
It seems unlikely that Lesotho will manage to take points from CAR. Therefore, I suggest betting on an away win and a total of under 5.5 goals.
