Morocco have only one Africa Cup of Nations title (from 1976), and they surely should be one of the biggest favorites to lift another trophy in 2025 when they host the next continental championship. Although being a host, Morocco participated in the qualifications, where they cruised with 15 points from the first five rounds. Their superb goal difference (19:2) shows that Morocco didn't have a real opponent in the group. In the last match, Walid Regragui's team won 5-1 on the road against Gabon. 

Lesotho never played in the Africa Cup of Nations, and that will not change in 2025 either, as the team from southern Africa collected only four points from the first five rounds. Lesotho won only two of the last 11 matches in all competitions. In the previous game, they won 1-0 at home against Central Africa. The teams were pretty even, but the home side scored a game-winning goal, which was enough for all three points. 

Morocco vs Lesotho pick: Under 3.5 goals

Morocco will likely rotate the team for this game, so they will not be so dominant. On the other hand, Lesotho are a poor attacking side. We shouldn't expect more than three goals in this match.

Morocco team news

Although Morocco played with an almost full squad in the previous game against Gabon, we should expect the head coach Regragui to partly rotate the squad and rest the main starters. Talented youngsters like Adam Aznou, Ismael Saibari, and Bilal El Khannouss will likely get the opportunity to get some experience playing for the national team.

Lesotho team news

Lesotho have a very limited quality. Thabo Makhele and Sera Motebang are surely the best players on the team as they play in the South African Premier League clubs. The head coach, Leslie Notsi, could also decide to rotate the squad and try some new players to meet the challenges ahead.
