Libya vs Angola Prediction
Libya started the qualifying series brightly before a poor run in their last three matches saw their FIFA World Cup aspirations evaporate. Nevertheless, the Mediterranean Knights are slight favorites to finish the campaign on a high in front of their fans.
Angola showed their capability in the 2-2 draw with Egypt and the visitors can also push Libya to the limit if they perform at an optimum.
Considering that nothing but pride is on the line, neither side are likely to up the ante which could translate into a cagey game. However, we are backing Libya to emerge victorious with a narrow win.
Prediction: Libya 1-0 Angola
