Benin Lesotho betting prediction

Betting suggestion:
Given this scenario, the best betting tip for this match is the "under 2.5 goals" market. Benin don't have a potent attack and Lesotho adopt a defensive posture in most of their games. What's more, Benin's average number of goals per game in qualifying is just 1, and the zero goal difference reinforces the difficulty in building elastic scorelines. With the need to score, but without taking too many risks, it's likely that the game will have few clear-cut chances and will be settled in detail, with no more than one or two goals on the final scoreboard.

Preview
Benin and Lesotho meet at Stade de l'Amitié, in a match for this stage of the WC Qualification Africa (Group Stage). Benin registers significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth special attention.
Analysis Benin
The home team is currently in the 3rd position, with 8 points won, after 3 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. In the penultimate round, they have lost a home match against South Africa by (0‑2). In the last round, they have won a home match against Zimbabwe by (1‑0). This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 draws and 8 losses in away matches; against 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses at their stadium. Benin registers 3 wins and 1 loss in the last 4 home matches for the WC Qualification Africa. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 5 of the last 7 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 5 of their 15 matches, and have only turned the score around in 1.
Benin's national team comes into this match with a good chance of consolidating its position in Group C of the African World Cup Qualifiers. Currently in second place with 11 points from 7 games, the team has a balanced style of play, with 3 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats. However, their attack has not been the most productive, with only 7 goals scored - the same number of goals conceded, which reflects a zero goal difference. Even so, Benin are enjoying a good run of form, with three wins in their last five games, which shows progress and confidence in the final stretch of the group stage. Playing at home, they tend to take control of the match, but still with a certain amount of caution, avoiding exposing themselves too much.

Analysis Lesotho
The away team is currently in the 5th position, with 6 points won, after 1 win, 3 draws and 3 losses. In the penultimate round, they have tied an away match against Rwanda by (1‑1). In the last round, they have lost a home match against South Africa by (0‑3). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 10 goals scored and 26 conceded; against 2 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses at their stadium, with 7 goals scored and 16 conceded. In the last 4 WC Qualification Africa away matches Lesotho has a record of 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss.
In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 4 matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 5 of the last 7 matches for this competition. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 2 of the last 11 matches, they have reached half‑time in front in 1 of those 2 matches and held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in all of them. In 11 matches, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 11 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 4 of their 8 goals between minutes (31'‑45').
Lesotho, on the other hand, despite being at the bottom of the table, tend to adopt an extremely conservative style of play. Traditionally, they are a team that prioritises defence and rarely impose themselves offensively, especially when playing away from home. Against stronger opponents, as is the case with Benin at this point in the competition, Lesotho tend to close in on their defence and exploit sporadic counter-attacks. This has resulted in matches with few goals, as the team struggles both to create and finalise moves. Their participation in the qualifiers has been marked by truncated matches that have been unproductive from an attacking point of view.
