Lesotho is suffering a lot in defense, he has not been able to enter the game, it is difficult to leave his zone and continues to face an opponent who does not let him breathe. The pressure from Rwanda is very strong and they may eventually tear down their defensive wall.

Preview:

Rwanda, though, come into this one on the back of a 2-0 loss to Nigeria in their most recent outing the other day with on-loan Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhem notching a brace for the Super Eagles. That leaves them sitting on seven points and three points off South Africa at the top of the group.

They take on a Lesotho side that also suffered a 2-0 loss the other day as they were beaten by South Africa in South Africa in a local derby. That defeat means Lesotho, under the management of Leslie Notsi, are left on just five points with one victory in their opening five matches of the campaign

  • The only previous international match between these teams was Rwanda’s 1-0 victory when they met in the current World Cup qualifying campaign in June 2024.
