In the upcoming AFCON preliminary round qualifier, Seychelles are in a difficult position having lost their last five matches without scoring. They conceded 28 goals in these encounters. Lesotho, on the other hand, has shown some resilience in recent outings, including a win against Zimbabwe and close contests with other teams. They come into this match as the favorites, despite their inconsistent form. The analysis leans towards an away win for Lesotho, who have a historical edge over Seychelles. Squad details for both teams are yet to be fully confirmed.

Seychelles have not been in good form, losing their last five games while Lesotho have some decent results and performances behind them. I am leaning towards an away win.

Key Stats - Seychelles in Horrid Form


  • Seychelles have lost 5 consecutive fixtures.
  • Seychelles have scored 0 goals in 5 matches.
  • Seychelles have conceded 28 goals in 5 games.
  • Lesotho have lost 3 of their last 5 fixtures.
  • Lesotho have scored 2 goals in 5 games.
  • Lesotho have conceded 7 goals in 5 matches.

Lesotho Hold Edge


In four matches, Lesotho hold a 2-1 lead with one draw.

Five Defeats on the Bounce for Seychelles


Seychelles had no answer in their FIFA World Cup qualification matches played between September and October last year. 

They lost 4-0 to Gabon, 5-0 to Kenya, 7-0 to the Ivory Coast, and 7-0 to Gambia. 

The Pirates have lost their last five matches consecutively. They scored no goals and conceded 28. 

Seychelles have been on a lengthy run without a victory, losing 15 of their last 16 matches, but they have recorded a victory against Lesotho in their few meetings.

Lesotho have Decent Recent Results


Lesotho played Malawi in two international friendlies last November, drawing 0-0 and losing 1-0.

Before that, Lesotho contested four FIFA World Cup qualifiers between September and October last year, losing 3-0 to South Africa, 4-0 to Benin, and 2-1 to Nigeria before defeating Zimbabwe 1-0. 

Likuena have registered one win in their last five games, including three defeats and one draw. They scored two goals and conceded seven. 

Lesotho have shown some improvement in their last four outings, with one win, one draw, and two narrow defeats, giving them the edge over the Seychelles in their first-leg AFCON preliminary round qualifier.
