Mozambique vs Lesotho Prediction and Betting Tips | July 10th 2023

Mozambique will host Lesotho at the Princess Magogo Stadium on Monday in another round of the 2023 COSAFA Cup campaign.

Mozambique headed into the sub-continental campaign in shaky form and then kicked off the tournament with a 1-1 draw against Angola. They fell behind just three minutes after kickoff before Dayo Antonio came off the bench to score a late leveler minutes after his introduction.

Mozambique sit third in the group standings with one point and will be looking to add to that tally next week.

Lesotho, meanwhile, kicked off their COSAFA Cup campaign on a winning note, beating Mauritius 2-0 at the King Zwelithini Stadium on Friday. Neo Mokhachane opened the scoring for the Likuena early in the game before Sera Motebang came off the bench to double their advantage deep into additional time.

Veselin Jelusic's men sit atop Group C with three points. They will be targeting another victory on Monday to strengthen their grip at the top.

Mozambique vs Lesotho Prediction

Mozambique are on a three-game unbeaten streak, although they have won just one of their last seven outings across all competitions. They have, however, performed well in this fixture of late and will be hopeful of a result here.

Lesotho's latest result ended a five-game losing streak and they will be looking to build on that this weekend. The sheer gulf in class and quality between the two teams should, however, see the Mambas win this one.

Prediction: Mozambique 1-0 Lesotho
