Nigeria's Super Eagles face Libya in a crucial AFCON qualifier on October 11, 2024, at Akwa Ibom Stadium. With Nigeria leading Group D and Libya struggling at the bottom, the match promises excitement. Victor Osimhen's absence may challenge Nigeria's attack, but historical performance favors the Super Eagles.
The upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier between Nigeria's Super Eagles and Libya's Mediterranean Knights is scheduled for Friday, October 11, 2024, at the Akwa Ibom Stadium in Uyo, with kickoff set for 5 PM local time. This match is vital for Group D, as Nigeria currently leads with four points from two matches, following a convincing 3-0 win over Benin Republic and a goalless draw against Rwanda. In contrast, Libya finds itself at the bottom of the group, earning only one point from a draw with Rwanda and a loss to Benin.
Historically, Nigeria has dominated previous matches against Libya, winning every encounter. Nevertheless, Libya aims to challenge this trend and hopes to secure at least a draw in Uyo. A significant factor for the Super Eagles is the absence of star striker Victor Osimhen, who has been exceptional for Galatasaray, potentially impacting Nigeria's offensive strength.
Fans can catch the match live on AfroSport TV or stream online. With Nigeria's solid start in the qualifiers, they are well-positioned to qualify for the 2025 AFCON tournament, but Libya's resilience could lead to a thrilling contest.
