Match Time & Date:

18:00
Prediction: 0-1
Libya
Libya will be aiming to keep their 2022 World Cup qualifying hopes alive when they take on Gabon at Stade de Franceville on Friday afternoon. Javier Clemente’s troops aim to bounce back from a 3-0 loss to Egypt, but beating Gabon on the road is easier said than done. Midfielder Faisal Al Badri misses the match through suspension, while Esperance Tunis midfielder Hamdou Elhouni will be the man to watch in the away team.
The Panthers, on the other hand, have slim chances of securing qualification for the 2022 World Cup finals as they are six points behind group F leaders Egypt ahead of the visit of Libya. The opposition defenders should have Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at bay as the Arsenal attacker scored the winner against Watford at the weekend. Anyhow, away win should be considered as Libya want this triumph more than Gabon, who are likely to miss out on a place at the next year’s showpiece tournament.
Highlighted Player (Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang):
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is the most famous Gabonese player and he is the first footballer from Gabon to appear in Bundesliga. Aubameyang played for the likes of Dijon, Lille, Monaco and St. Etienne in the past before joining Borussia Dortmund on July, 2013. The pacey attacker signed a five-year contract with the Millionaires and he has been producing outstanding performances with the Signal-Iduna-Park outfit ever since.
Aubameyang impressed in the 2015–16 Bundesliga, scoring 25 goals in 31 appearances for Borussia Dortmund, but that did not help Thomas Tuchel’s men win the domestic trophy. Speaking of his international career, the 187-cm-tall striker made his Gabon debut on 25 March, 2009 and he scored his first goal for the national team in a 3-2 win over Morocco.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang helped Gabon make it to the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals. It has to be noted, though, that he played for France U-21 team in the past. Aubameyang was born in Laval, France on 18 June, 1989.
