Angola vs Lesotho Prediction: The Giant Stable must win to stand a chance of advancing to the playoffs

Angola need all the points when they square off with already qualified Lesotho side at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Wednesday. Lesotho have been clinical in this tournament and are going straight into the playoffs. Angola will strive to get a win here to join their opponent in the knockout phase.

The Giant Stable began their campaign with a (1-1) share of the spoils against a resilient Mozambique. Angola suffered a shocking defeat in their second game when Mauritius defeated them. The Giant Stable fired a total of fifteen shots, and none of them found the back of the net. It was a significant loss that could be their turning point in this tournament.

The Giant Sable Antelopes have won the COSAFA Cup three times, with silver and bronze. However, they were able to achieve that from 1998-2006. Angola is currently 114th on the FIFA global rankings and have won twice, drawn once, and lost three in their last six games in this tournament.

The Crocodiles have been outstanding since the commencement of this tournament. They have won their last two games, scoring three while conceding none. Lesotho head here after scoring once against Mozambique in their second game. Neo Mokhachane scored in both games and will be desperate to win the golden boot. Lesotho sits at the top of the standings with six points from a possible six.

They are ranked 152th according to FIFA and have earned twelve points from a possible fifteen in this competition.

Their last three meetings ended in two victories for Angola, while Lesotho recorded a win. Last season, Lesotho won their first two games but failed their ton win their final match.

Angola have been unlucky in their last two encounters and have been let down by their frontmen. Considering how important this game is to Angola, we think they’re at an advantage as Lesotho will focus more on the knockout phase. With three points here, Angola stand a chance of finishing in the second spot; bet on a home win or draw and over 1.5 goals for 1.87.

Angola might get a win here for 1.89.

Both sides will settle for a halftime draw.

Good luck!
