Lesotho vs Comoros Prediction and Betting Tips | June 17, 2023 

Lesotho and Comoros lock horns at the Orlando Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa, on Saturday (June 17) in the 2023 African Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Lesotho are out of the race for next year's showpiece, having collected just a point in four qualifying games. That came courtesy of a goalless draw with Ivory Coast on matchday two, losing all their other games. The Crocodiles have scored just one goal and conceded seven times.

Ranked 150th in the world, Lesotho will now have to wait for their AFCON debut as their first appearance in a major finals goes on. Veselin Jelusic's side will look to draw the curtains on their qualifying campaign by getting a win on the board, though.

Lesotho have summoned 22 players for this month's fixtures. That includes their most capped player and highest scorer Jane Thabantso, who has 70 caps and scored 11 goals.

Comoros, meanwhile, have been better by just two points. The Coelacantes began their campaign with a 2-0 defeat of Lesotho and lost their next three games to remain in third position with three points in four games.

Having made their AFCON debut in the 2021 edition of the competition, their hopes of reaching back-to-back finals isn't over, though. Comoros need to win their two remaining games and hope that Zambia lose both of theirs.

Manager Younes Zerdouk has called up 23 players to face Lesotho, including their most capped player, Youssouf M'Changama. The 32-year-old has 56 caps and scored 11 goals.

Only two players - Soiyir Sanali and William Vouama - are uncapped, and both will hope to make their international debut this month.

Lesotho vs Comoros Prediction

Lesotho's dream of reaching the AFCON is over, and they have nothing to play for. Meanwhile, Comoros' chances of qualifying are extremely slim as they have flattered to deceive after their opening-day win.

It's a clash between two out-of-form teams, so a low-scoring draw could ensue.

Prediction: Lesotho 1-1 Comoros
