Lesotho and Seychelles are set to clash at Toyota Stadium (Free State) in the second leg of the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. There was little to separate the two sides in the first leg, which ended in a goalless draw. Who will come out on top? Here's our match prediction.
Lesotho will be hoping to get the job done against Seychelles after the first leg ended in a goalless draw. It was their first competitive match after their 1-0 win over Zimbabwe in the World Cup qualifiers in October 2025.
Following that outcome, Likuena navigated three matches without a win across all competitions. They'll aim to get back to winning ways in this impending encounter.
The home team have gone five matches without defeat against Seychelles, recording two wins and three draws.
Seychelles are aiming to reach the Africa Cup of Nations group stages for the first time. Their hopes hinge on turning potential into results.
The first leg against Lesotho ended goalless, and they have a chance to get the job done in the return leg and end a five-match winless run in this fixture.
However, the Pirates' form has been unconvincing heading into this fixture. They are winless in 17 games and have lost 15 matches during this period.

Our Lesotho vs Seychelles Prediction
Despite Lesotho's poor form, they are the better side heading into this clash. It's hardly surprising they are the favourites, considering they've lost just one of their last four matches across all competitions.
Seychelles are winless in 17 games across all competitions and have been conceding goals at an alarming rate. However, we don't anticipate a high-scoring affair between two sides that have shown no attacking intent in their matches. Lesotho are averaging 0.30 goals per game, while the visitors are averaging 0.40 goals per game. Our Lesotho vs Seychelles prediction: less than 2.5 goals.
