Morocco vs Lesotho Prediction: The Atlas Lions will overwhelm their opponent

The Atlas Lions will play their final game of the group and could set a record of becoming the only team to have secured all the available group points in this year's qualifying campaign when they face off against Lesotho at the Stade d’Agadir Stadium on Monday. 

FIFA Ranking: 13th

The high-flying Moroccan team pulled off yet another exhilarating victory over Gabon away from home. Morocco wasn’t moved when they conceded with just four minutes on the pitch as the nominated CAF Player of the Year exhibited why he deserved to be on the list. Brain Diaz scored a brace while goals were shared among Jamal Harkass, En Nesyri, and Saibari in a(1-5) victory. 

The Atlas Lions are currently the best-rated team in the continent, as they head here with seven consecutive victories in all competitions. 

The Atlas Lions are still ranked as the best team in Africa despite their dreadful outing at the AFCON, and they have already secured their ticket in the forthcoming edition on their home turf. 

Morocco, who have lost once over their previous eighteen matches, are the favorite to amass all the points here. 

FIFA Ranking: 152th

The Crocodiles picked up their first group victory, defeating Central African Republic on their home ground. Lesotho converted one of their five shots at goal as goalkeeper Sekhoane Moerane was awarded the man of the match in a (1-0) win. Mathematically, Lesotho can still make it to Morocco next year, provided they win here and pray Gabon concede more than two goals. Lesotho presently sit in third place on the log, picking up four points from a combined fifteen. 

Lesotho haven't qualified for the AFCON or World Cup in their history and it’s looking like a journey halted despite their recent victory. 

The reverse leg ended in a slim (0-1) victory for Morocco on the road after featuring most of their fringe players. Even though Morocco have secured a spot in the forthcoming AFCON 2025, they maintained their momentum, scoring five times in a must-win game against Gabon on the road. They’ll host Lesotho on their home turf—a dreadful ground for a visiting team. 

Morocco are more concerned about their FIFA Ranking, and I’m confident they’ll not play below their standards against their guests.

Brahim Diaz will be poised to increase his tally in this tournament, and we expect him to score a goal here.

This game will produce more goals after the break for 1.92.

Good luck
