vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

The table is not available either for Niger or Lesotho in this round of Africa Cup of Nations qualifying. Over their last five outings Niger have not won: three draws and two defeats. The most recent game was a 0-1 home defeat against Mauritania; before that a 1-1 away draw at Benin, a 0-1 home defeat against Togo and, further back, two draws, 0-0 away at Libya and 1-1 away at Guinea. Lesotho arrive instead from a 0-4 away defeat at Kenya; before that a 1-1 home draw, again against Kenya, a 2-1 home win over the Seychelles, a 0-0 away draw again against the Seychelles and, further back, a 0-1 home defeat against Malawi. Over their last five games the record is one win, two draws and two defeats. There is no previous meeting between the two sides on record. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
