Lesotho are one of the weakest African football teams. They have never played at the World Cup or Africa Cup of Nations, and that seems unlikely to change soon. Lesotho are in poor form. They lost four of the last five matches. In the previous game, the first round of the qualifications for the Africa Cup of Nations, Leslie Notsi's team lost 3-1 on the road against the Central African Republic. Once again, Lesotho's defense was too leaky, so they suffered another defeat.
Morocco have only one Africa Cup of Nations title in history, but in the last few years, they have been considered the top African team. With only one defeat in the last 14 matches, they are surely one of the hottest teams right now. At the start of the qualification for the Africa Cup of Nations, Morocco won 4-1 at home against Gabon on Friday. Both teams had good chances, but Morocco's phenomenal efficiency made a big difference among the teams.
Lesotho vs Morocco pick: Over 3.5
With eight conceded goals in the last three matches, Lesotho obviously have problems in defense. On the other hand, Morocco scored 12 goals in the previous three games. We should expect to see four or more goals in the upcoming tie between Lesotho and Morocco.
Lesotho team news
All of Lesotho's players are playing in the southern part of Africa. Most are playing in the Lesotho national league, but the best are in the South African Premier League. The best player at the moment is probably Sera Motebang, a forward from Royal AM. He didn't play much in the previous season, but he should continue to start for Lesotho. Another important player is defender Thabo Makhele from Chippa United.

Morocco team news
Most of Morocco's players are playing in European clubs. The biggest star is surely Achraf Hakimi, but important players are also Noussair Mazraoui, Sofyan Amrabat, and Brahim Diaz. We got to know Morocco very well during the previous World Cup, but for the team, it is very important that this is not a one-generation thing, as in the squad are also very talented Bilal El Khannouss from Leicester and Eliesse Ben Seghir from Monaco.
