Lesotho vs Gabon Prediction and Betting Tips | 15th October 2024 

Lesotho and Gabon lock horns at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in South Africa on Tuesday in Group B of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Without a victory in three games, Lesotho are at the bottom of Group B, having accumulated just a single point in their campaign thus far.

That came courtesy a goalless stalemate with Gabon last week, as Leslie Notši's side frustrated their opponents with stoic defending to earn their first point of the qualifier round.

Prior to that, the southern African side had lost 3-1 to Central African Republic followed by a late 1-0 defeat against Morocco.

Ranked 153rd in the world, they have never qualified for the AFCON finals before, and unless their form improves, their wait is set to continue.

On the other hand, Thierry Mouyouma's Gabon began their campaign with a crushing 4-1 loss to Morocco but recovered to beat the Central African Republic 2-0 in their next.

After the draw last week, Les Panthères have four points in three games and sit in second position of Group B, just behind Morocco, who have already qualified as the hosts of the tournament.

Lesotho vs Gabon Prediction

The Crocodiles have never won this fixture before and come into the match on the back of a terrible run. They did manage to hold Gabon to a goalless stalemate last week following a stoic display, which could see them employ similar tactics here too. But Aubameyang and co. can be a dangerous side on the break, and we expect Mouyouma's men to prevail here, albeit narrowly.

Prediction: Lesotho 1-2 Gabon
