Benin vs Lesotho Prediction & Betting tips
Benin and Lesotho meet at Stade Charles de Gaulle, in a match for this phase of the Africa Cup of Nations Qualification (Group Stage). This will be the first direct meeting between these two teams as they have never met before. Particular attention is needed for the home / away condition, as both teams present significantly different results at home and away.
Benin :
After 1 victory and 1 defeat, the home team comes to this 3rd round in 2nd position in Group L, with 3 points won. The previous round, they won (1‑0) at home against Sierra Leone, after in the first match of this group stage having lost (2‑1) away against Nigeria. This is a stronger team with the support of its fans, since in the last 30 games it has registered 3 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses as a visitor; against 8 wins and 7 draws in their stadium. In their last 9 home matches Benin has recorded 5 wins and 4 draws. The team allowed goals to the opponent in 7 of the last 10 games, so there are defensive processes that need to improve. In their home matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 6 of the last 9 matches have ended with Under 2,5 goals.
Benin welcomes the opportunity to participate in the next edition of the African Cup of Nations. But that possibility passes through a victory on this day, since they are in a group that has Nigeria as favorites, so they have to fight for second place. She did her homework by winning the previous game and she has a regular goal scoring attack so she hopes she is inspired by this game.
Lesotho :
After 0 victories, 1 draw and 1 defeat, the visiting team reaches this 3rd round in the 3rd position of Group L, with 1 point won. The previous round, they lost at home against Nigeria by (2‑4), after in the first match of this group stage having drawn (1‑1) away against Sierra Leone. This is a stronger team with the support of its fans, since in the last 30 games it has recorded 2 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses as a visitor; against 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses in his stadium. In the last 7 away matches for all competitions, Lesotho won 1, drew 3 and lost 3. Their attack has scored regularly, scoring goals in 7 of the last 10 matches.
Lesotho has scored just 1 point so far. Therefore, the game of this day is important to continue dreaming about qualifying. By facing a direct rival, scoring points is essential. The task will not be easy, as the team has not won for 7 games, mainly because of its defense, which suffers many goals. His attack contributes some goals, but it is not enough.
