The COSAFA Cup defending champions, Angola, will be back in action for the second group game against Lesotho. Angola had a tough start to Group B as they drew with Namibia. They now trail Lesotho by two points, and below is our prediction.
Angola’s all-time leading scorer in the COSAFA Cup, Aurelio Depu, got the opener against Namibia before they were pegged back. Palancas Negras were reduced to 10 men in the match and will not be with Randy Nteka for this clash.
Coming into this game, Angola will be targeting a first win in five, having drawn two and lost as many.
Among the teams that Angola failed to beat in that period was Lesotho. Here, Lesotho will be looking to add to their 1-0 victory in that CHAN qualifying match in December.
Angola, however, triumphed in the last two meetings at the COSAFA Cup. This will be the fifth meeting between the two nations at this competition, and the first four stand at 2-2.
Lesotho will be charged up for this match, though, as they are coming off a 1-0 win against Malawi in the first group game. Makara Ntaitsane got the match-winner with seven minutes to go.
They had to endure minutes of a VAR check before the goal, and eventually, the win, was confirmed.

Our Angola vs Lesotho Prediction
This marks the third straight year in which Angola and Lesotho get to meet at the COSAFA Cup. Three of their four meetings in this competition had over 2.5 goals scored, but that may change this time, based on the teams’ recent performances in attack.
Both nations have struggled on that front, rarely managing more than a goal in their recent matches. Lesotho, in particular, haven't scored more than once in the last 10 games. Our prediction for Angola v Lesotho is for under 2.5.
