Lesotho has a slight but significant advantage playing on home soil. Despite a string of setbacks, the team has demonstrated a more organized performance in front of its home fans and is higher in the standings.
Zimbabwe is in a deep crisis, having failed to secure a single win in nine qualifying matches. The team has serious attacking issues, scoring only five goals, and has been inconsistent defensively.
Given the home advantage, higher tournament motivation, and superior quality, Lesotho should not lose this match.
