Libya vs Nigeria Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds
The visitors secured a 1-0 win in their last meeting.
The Martyrs of February Stadium will host the rematch between Libya and Nigeria for the fourth matchday of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers. Nigeria have taken control of Group D and have remained undefeated so far with two wins and a draw in their opening three games. The Super Eagles are one among the only four teams to have not conceded a goal so far.
Libya on the other hand have experienced a poor run of performances. They are yet to win a game in Group D of the qualifiers. The Mediterranean Knights have lost three of their last four games, but have shown defensive solidity all throughout the campaign.
They conceded just a single goal against a star-studded Nigerian side last game and will be eyeing revenge against the Super Eagles on home soil.

Players to watch
Mourad Al Wuhayshi (Libya)
The goalkeeper has played a key role in Libya’s strong defensive displays so far. He is a key figure in the team and has put up a lot of great performances under the bar for Libya. Known for his excellent shot-saving abilities, Wuhayshi has made 13 saves so far while recording a save percentage of 76%. Moreover, the 27-year-old shot-stopper was the best player for his side in their last game.
Ademola Lookman (Nigeria)
Ademola Lookman has immense potential to make a big name for himself in football and has shown great signs so far. He is a fast, dynamic and modern-day winger who can easily find the back of the net. Lookman has dropped consistent performances in the colours of Atalanta and is expected to do the same for Nigeria. The 26-year-old has scored two goals in three games so far.
