In a Group C clash, fifth-placed Lesotho and bottom-placed Zimbabwe are set to lock horns at Peter Mokaba Stadium on matchday ten of the FIFA World Cup CAF qualifiers. Both sides are no longer in the hunt for qualification and enter this clash with nothing but pride to play for. Here's our match prediction.
With nine points accumulated from nine games, Lesotho are six points behind the play-off spot.
Last time out, Leslie Notsi's side were drawn against Nigeria. They did put up a spirited fight, but couldn't secure a result, suffering a narrow 2-1 defeat at the Peter Mokaba Stadium. That extended their losing streak to five matches across all competitions.
The Crocodiles will be hoping for a favorable outcome this time around, especially against a side they've gotten the better of in the qualifiers, winning 2-0 on the road.
Zimbabwe comes into this match smiling from ear to ear after their recent penultimate qualifying match against South Africa at the Moses Mabhida Stadium.
Despite not being able to secure all three points in that match, the visitors had the pleasure of sharing the spoils in a goalless draw, which ultimately dented their opponents' qualification hopes.
In light of that result, the Warriors have now navigated nine qualifying games without a win, recording five draws and four losses.

Our Lesotho vs Zimbabwe Prediction
Lesotho have struggled for consistency with five consecutive defeats. Their demise during this period has been well-reported, and it has to do with their lack of creativity in the final third as they failed to score in four of those outings. They'll likely find it difficult getting on the scoresheet.
Zimbabwe have shown little of themselves in the qualifiers and could conclude the tournament without a win to their name. We believe both sides will be content with a point in a goalless draw. Our Lesotho vs Zimbabwe prediction: both teams to score - no.
