Lesotho take on the visitors Zambia in the final match of COSAFA Cup. The match will be played on Sunday, June 16th.
Lesotho has reached the final of this tournament, which can already be considered a great success for them. In the upcoming match, it will be challenging for Lesotho to expect a victory. Zambia, as the defending champion of the tournament, was initially the favorite. As for Lesotho, they have played to their strengths in this tournament, defeating Mauritius and Mozambique in the group stage while losing to Angola. In the semi-finals, they were fortunate to face Malawi, and in a close battle between two relatively weaker teams, Lesotho emerged victorious with a 2-1 scoreline. In the final, the balance of power is different, and Lesotho is rightfully seen as a significant underdog in the match. The history of head-to-head meetings between these teams confirms this, with Zambia holding a significant advantage.

Zambia, along with Angola, were seen as the main contenders for the title. However, Angola dropped out earlier, while Zambia predictably made it to the decisive match of the tournament and will seek to confirm their championship title. It can't be said that Zambia easily reached this match; they faced certain problems in the group stage, unexpectedly losing to Malawi in the first round. But then things fell into place, and Zambia started winning one match after another. In the semi-finals, they faced a strong South African team, and Zambia managed a hard-fought 2-1 victory. However, they were fortunate in facing Lesotho as their final opponent, as Lesotho is not the team that was expected to challenge Zambia in this encounter. As I mentioned, the history of head-to-head meetings speaks volumes, with Zambia winning four out of five previous encounters.
The odds for Zambia are quite acceptable, and one can simply bet on the favorite without overthinking. Of course, it is not guaranteed that victory will come easily for Zambia. It is more likely that there will be a tough battle, and the final score of the match could be something like 2-1 in favor of Zambia. My choice for the bet would be: Away Win (W2). I believe that Zambia will confirm its status as the favorite in this match.
Prediction for the match: Zambia to win.
