Lesotho and Seychelles will go head to head on Friday in South Africa, with both nations looking to kick-off their COSAFA Cup tournament on a high.
The Lesotho national team comes into this week’s game with just one win from their last four encounters. Leslie Notsi’s side were last in action in qualifying for the 2026 World Cup earlier this month when they hosted Rwanda. The Crocodiles suffered a defeat, but they will be delighted with how their defending has been lately, as they have now conceded one goal or nothing in three consecutive games.
Seychelles meanwhile have not tasted victory in a long time. Etienne Ndayiragije’s side were last in action against Burundi in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers a fortnight ago. They finished the game on the negative side of a 3-1 scoreline and that extended their losing streak in all competitions to seven matches.
Lesotho vs Seychelles Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
Seychelles are one of the worst sides defensively at this tournament. Indeed, Ndayiragije’s men didn’t finish any of their last thirteen competitive matches with a clean sheet. They shipped at least three goals in each of the last five and we may as well see something similar against Lesotho on Friday in South Africa.
The most recent meeting between these two sides was in the African Cup of Nations over two years ago. Lesotho won that encounter 3-1 and since it was the second time in three meetings between the two teams that at least three goals were seen, I am going for the Over 2.5 goals option.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Lesotho vs Seychelles prediction: 2-1
