In the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match, Lesotho will host Morocco on their home ground. The match is scheduled for Monday, September 9, kicking off at 20:00 Central European Time. Experts from Dailysports have prepared a forecast for this encounter.
Lesotho
In their first game, Lesotho faced the Central African Republic, who were the favorites. Despite having more possession, Lesotho failed to capitalize on it. The Central African Republic netted twice in the first half and added another goal after the break. As a result, Lesotho suffered a 1-3 defeat and currently sits third in the table. This is far from an ideal start and could cost the team a spot in the Africa Cup of Nations, a tournament they missed last time around.
After such a start, the trend may continue. Instead, Lesotho participated in the COSAFA Cup, where they managed just one point from three games, failing to reach the knockout stages. Lesotho has been winless in their last five matches, with four losses and one draw.
Morocco
The Moroccans had a brilliant start to their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign. In their first game, they faced Gabon. Two goals in the first half and another two in the second secured Morocco a dominant 4-1 victory. Morocco shares a group with the Central African Republic, Gabon, and Lesotho. Morocco is the clear favorite in this group, and after such a strong start, it's hard to imagine anyone stopping them.
Earlier this year, they competed in the Africa Cup of Nations, where they sailed through the group stage, earning seven points from three matches. However, in the Round of 16, they were halted by South Africa, losing 0-2. Since then, Morocco has played five matches, winning four and drawing one.
Interesting facts and personal meetings
- This will be the first-ever encounter between Morocco and Lesotho.

Lesotho vs Morocco Prediction
Morocco is the overwhelming favorite for this match. Bookmakers offer odds of 1.12 for their victory, and it’s hard to disagree. The skill and quality of the Moroccan players far surpass that of Lesotho. I would bet on Morocco’s individual total over 2.5 goals, with odds of 1.57.
