Lesotho are desperate to turn their situation around following their run of defeats, without scoring a goal. The hosts suffered a 4-0 defeat in the hands of Benin Republic in their most recent World Cup qualifier game, a match where they underperformed and were outplayed on all fronts. Defensively, they are very weak, with 14 goals conceded in their last four matches.
At home, Lesotho have failed to win any of their three home games in this qualifying series, drawing one, losing two, and failing to score in all three. They sit fifth in Group C with 9 points from eight matches.
Nigeria are under pressure to return to winning ways as their chances of making it to the World Cup increased, following the deduction of three points from South Africa’s tally. The West African nation is unbeaten in three matches, winning two, and drawing one.
Away from home, the Super Eagles are without a win in four matches, drawing two and losing two. Ending this run is the priority as they look to close in on South Africa and Benin Republic on the table. Nigeria sit third on the table with eleven points from eight matches, three points behind the top two teams.
We back Nigeria to win because the Super Eagles are unbeaten in their last three matches while Lesotho lost their last four matches. The visitors are also unbeaten in three games against Lesotho, winning two, and drawing one.
Both nations are not expected to score because Lesotho failed to score in their last four matches while Nigeria kept two clean sheets in their last three matches.
A low-scoring result is also anticipated because Nigeria’s last five matches averaged 2 goals per game and Lesotho’s last five games averaged 2.4 goals per game. This indicates a scoreline under 2.5 goals.
