Libya vs Nigeria Preview
Libya
Libya is in the basement of Group D in their African Cup of Nations qualifiers after three rounds of fixtures. They have lost two times and drawn once. The one draw puts them a point behind third-placed Rwanda, and they trail the leaders and their opponents on Tuesday, Nigeria, by six points already.
Libya’s challenges were highlighted in their 1-0 defeat away to Nigeria last Friday. In the match, Libya had just 36% of the ball.
In their attack, they could manage just two shots overall and none on target. These numbers make for hard reading ahead of the second leg.
They conceded 15 shots, with seven on target. Although they conceded just once against Nigeria, it was due to the Super Eagles’ profligacy rather than Libya’s solidity. Our expert soccer predictions show that Libya will have a tough time containing Nigeria as they bid for their first win in Group D.
Nigeria
Nigeria has made an unbeaten start to their Group D Africa Cup of Nations qualification campaign. With two wins and one draw, the Super Eagles sit at the top of the group with 7 points, one ahead of second-placed Benin.
During the last time out, in front of the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Nigeria dominated the match against Libya, winning 1-0.
With 64% of the ball, 15 attempts, and seven shots on target, Nigeria was the dominant side and fully deserved the three points.
Crucially, the Super Eagles allowed just two shots and none on target for the entire match. Their defensive solidity will be crucial when they visit Libya for a quick-fire return leg. Free football predictions on 22Bet show that the Super Eagles will look to retain their composure, as they are good for back-to-back wins over Libya in Group D.
