Libya could not have scored more than one point so far in the qualifiers for the African Cup of Nations. Although after a solid performance in the match against Rwanda, appetites grew, defeats against Benin and Nigeria followed, which took Libya two steps back. Libya is now in the last place in this group with very little chance to reach the 2nd place in the remaining 3 rounds
Nigeria is traditionally one of the strongest African national teams, but without any major success in the last ten years. In the final of the previous ACON they lost in the final against Ivory Coast they lost and thus brought great disappointment to the nation. It is very possible that they will let down their loyal fans once again because they have only 3 points in 4 matches played in the World Cup qualifiers.
Libya vs Nigeria pick: UNDER 2.5 GOALS
In 4 out of 5 previous matches of Libya, no more than 2 goals were scored. This is a very defensive team that tends not to concede a goal because that would extinguish their ambition. In 3 out of 5 previous matches, they failed to score at least one goal. The goal against Nigeria will also be to keep a low score as long as possible, so we expect that this match will not be full of chances and goals either. Our prediction is under 2.5 goals total
