Lesotho will host the first leg fixture at Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday, December 21st while the second leg is scheduled for Estadio 11 de Novembro in Luanda on December 28th.
The winner of the tie will book a ticket to the continental showpiece to be co-hosted by three East African countries in Uganda, Tanzania, and Kenya.
Likuena coach Leslie Notši has kept faith in the squad that beat Namibia in the first round of the competition making just two changes with veteran forward Jane Thabantšo added to the squad alongside Leluma Mofoka.
