Following their most recent defeat, Lesotho's ambitions of becoming a qualifying team for the first time were dealt another blow, and they continue to sit at the very bottom of the standings with only one point. Jane Thabantso, who has scored 11 goals for the team in 68 games, could be brought in by Veselin Jelusic as a way to energize the team. Tsepo Toloane would then take back his position in the middle of the field. Unfortunately, they only have one point so far in this qualifying campaign, which they earned in their match against Ivory Coast that ended in a scoreless draw. They have only scored one goal so far while allowing five goals to be scored against them. The Likuena have now earned a record of two wins, two losses, and one draw throughout all of their most recent five matches.
Zambia - an important match for the visitors
On Thursday, the Copper Bullets were victorious in a comeback victory that resulted in a score of 3-1. Tshwarelo Bereng scored the first goal of the game for the Crocodiles in the 33rd minute. Four minutes later, Fashion Sakala scored the equalizing goal for the home team. Later, in the second half, Lameck Banda scored two goals in a short span of time to put an end to any doubts about the outcome of the game. The Avram Grant-coached team is currently in second place in Group H, one point behind Ivory Coast, with six points after three games. Another victory for the Zambian team this week would bring them one step closer to directly qualifying for the tournament. It is not anticipated that Grant would make too many adjustments to his starting lineup, with the probable exception of Banda moving into the wing positions in favor of Kennedy Musonda after his magnificent performance off the bench on Thursday.
Expert Betting Tips
Lesotho may choose to take a more cautious approach to the game than they did the last time in order to keep their dwindling qualification hopes alive; however, Zambia displayed their attacking potential on Thursday and showed that there are other ways to score goals besides Patson Daka. Although we anticipate that this game will be more competitive than their most recent meeting, we still believe that the Copper Bullets will emerge victorious. We anticipate that both sides will be able to find the back of the net in this encounter, and despite the fact that Zambia is expected to win, a bet on over 2.5 goals is a smart choice to consider, just as it was in their most recent meeting.
