We said: Zimbabwe 2-1 Lesotho

Despite the difficulties faced in recent years, Zimbabwe still possess a star-studded squad that features players players that apply their trade in some of the best clubs in Africa and Europe. The Brave Warriors have yet to win a match in this competition but looked impressive when taking points of powerhouses Rwanda and Nigeria in the last two games. This should be an intriguing contest but we feel Zimbabwe will manage to notch up their first victory of these qualifiers in this one. Read more.
