Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 0-1
Libya
Nuevo Estadio de Malabo will host Monday’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifier between Equatorial Guinea and Libya. The National Thunder experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-0 loss to Tunisia, and, to make things even worse for the hosts, Joan Lopez Elo will miss the Libya game through suspension. The Mediterranean Knights, on the other hand, recorded a hard-fought 1-0 win over Botswana in their opener, with Al Taher scoring the only game of the match.
Libya are more of a team than Equatorial Guinea, which is probably the main reason why away win should be considered. Corentin Martins is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Zebras at Martyrs of February Stadium on Thursday. In their last meeting in a competitive match Equatorial Guinea defeated Libya, meaning that the visitors are hungry for revenge.
