Libya vs Equatorial Guinea Prediction 06.09.2023

• Competition: Africa Cup of Nations qualification - Group J
• Date: Wednesday, 6th, September 2023
• Kickoff: 20:00 UTC +1 / 21.00 CEST
• Venue: Martyrs of February Stadium (Benghazi)

Equatorial Guinea will be seeking all three points in the closing match of the group stage of the African Cup of Nations when they visit Libya at the Martyrs of February Stadium.

Even though they couldn't have envisioned a simpler start to their journey in the African Cup of Nations qualifiers, facing one of the continent's weakest national teams, Botswana, Corentin Martins' squad had to dig deep to secure a narrow 1-0 victory. Unfortunately, that triumph proved to be Libya's only success in this qualifying cycle, as they lost each of the subsequent four matches, leaving them with virtually no chance of advancing to the next stage of the tournament.

On the other end of the pitch, Equatorial Guinea has enjoyed a fantastic performance in this tournament, and it's no wonder they carry the epitet of the most pleasant surprise of Group H. Indeed, Juan Micha's troops currently sit at the top of their group with 12 out of a possible 15 points from the opening five qualifying matches. With just 90 minutes left in this phase and an eight-point lead over third-placed Botswana,  Los Elefantes have already booked their place in the next stage of the competition.

Libya vs Equatorial Guinea Betting Tips: Equatorial Guinea to Win

The disappointing qualifying campaign of Libya can certainly be attributed to their inability to find the back of the net, as a narrow 1-0 victory over Botswana represents their only goal throughout the entire tournament. While they will aim to bid farewell to their fans in a victorious manner, it won't be an easy task, given that the Mediterranean Knights are going through a serious bout of poor results, having lost seven out of their last eight (official and friendly) matches.

With a three-goal deficit in their two-legged battle against second-placed Tunisia, Equatorial Guinea is well aware that their quest for the top spot hinges on securing three points on Wednesday. Fortunatelly, their recent dominance over Libya, marked by three consecutive victories, instills confidence and hope on the final day of Group H. With Los Elefantes storming into the match like an unstoppable force, fueled by five consecutive qualifying victories and an impressive four clean sheets in that glorious run, it's as clear as day that the visiting team is on the brink of a triumphant performance.
