With an away point registered, Lesotho will go in search of a first ever win over Nigeria. Lesotho have not won any of their last six matches, while in the last five, they have four draws and a loss. They have two wins in the last 10 and just three clean sheets but they have scored in eight of the last 10. Lesotho go to this game unbeaten in three matches in AFCON qualifiers and they have two wins and four losses in the last 10 AFCON qualification matches. They have two wins and two losses in their last five AFCON qualification matches at home.

Nigeria on the other hand, carry a run of three unbeaten matches to this clash, having won two and drawn one. They have scored in each of the last nine matches and won five of the last 10. Three of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals and they are unbeaten in six AFCON qualification matches, while they have two losses in the last 10. Playing away from home, Nigeria are unbeaten in their last three AFCON qualification matches, though they failed to score in five of the last 10. This will be the third meeting between the two sides; in the earlier two, Nigeria have registered back to back wins.
