Lesotho host Nigeria in a pivotal CAF World Cup qualifier on Friday at Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane, South Africa.
Both sides are in the hunt for qualification, though the pressure is firmly on Nigeria to deliver after several frustrating draws in the campaign so far. Lesotho are fifth in the group with just two wins from eight qualifiers, but managed a 1-1 draw against Nigeria when the two sides met in Lagos last November.
