Lesotho host Morocco on 29 September 2026 at 16:00 in the second round of 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying. Morocco arrive as heavy favourites after winning the Africa Cup of Nations last year and reaching the World Cup quarter-finals. Lesotho lost their opening qualifier 2-1 away to Niger and have managed just one win in their last seven games.
Form and H2H
Morocco have lost only once in their last 30 matches and won their opening qualifier 2-0 against Gabon. Lesotho have conceded in four consecutive matches and finished bottom of their Africa Cup of Nations qualifying group last year with two goals scored and 13 conceded. The head-to-head record is one-sided: Morocco won 1-0 away in their first meeting, then 7-0 at home, keeping clean sheets in both fixtures.
Morocco's recent matches show a pattern of control rather than volume. Six of their last eight games finished with under 2.5 goals. Lesotho's defensive frailty and Morocco's reluctance to take unnecessary risks in away qualifying ties point toward a restrained scoreline.
Best Bet
Under 4.5 total goals. Morocco's defensive record and low-scoring tendency in recent fixtures, combined with Lesotho's inability to create attacking threat, makes a controlled Moroccan victory the most likely outcome. The 7-0 scoreline from their last meeting is an outlier; Morocco have no reason to pursue a heavy win in a qualifying tie.
