The two countries faced each at the 2016 edition of the tournament, where Jane Thabant\u0161o scored the solitary goal as Likuena clinched 1-0 victory on thier way to winning the group with nine points.<\/p>\n
Coincidentally, Lesotho will also face Mauritius in their group, who they beat 3-0 at the 2016 tournament in Namibia, where Thabant\u0161o grabbed the headlines for scoring the fastest goal in the history of the COSAFA Cup.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe all know that Malawi are a tough side, and we will have to dig deep to beat them,\u201d Makepe said.<\/p>\n
The Lesotho skipper believes Malawi will be motivated to get their revenge as they have failed to beat them in the last two meetings between the two countries.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt could be that they will be looking for revenge because if you look at our group, its more of the same of what we had in 2016 as we also have Mauritius in our group,\u201d the Lesotho captain stated.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe won the group in the end and I\u2019m hoping that it will still favour us again in this year\u2019s tournament,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
