The African teams will clash in the World Cup qualifiers, promising an exciting match for international football fans as Libya takes on Mauritius.
The Libyan national team has never participated in major international tournaments, and even among the African teams, they do not stand out. Libya has played in the African Cup of Nations three times. In 1982, Libya finished second and then twice failed to advance beyond the group stage. The Libyan team missed out on six consecutive African Cup of Nations tournaments, failing to qualify.
Currently, Libya is in third place in their qualifying group. In two matches, the Libyan team has collected 4 points, trailing only the teams from Cape Verde and Cameroon. In the two qualifying matches, Libya managed to secure a win against Eswatini. In another encounter, they played against Cameroon and managed to earn 1 point.
The Mauritius team is considered one of the weakest, not only globally but also on the African continent. Currently, Mauritius is ranked 183rd in the FIFA rankings, having dropped 6 positions recently. The Mauritius national team has never played in the World Cup and has only appeared once in the African Cup of Nations.
In 1974, the Mauritius team failed to advance beyond the group stage. In the current World Cup qualifying cycle, Mauritius has played only two matches, losing to Cameroon and earning 1 point in the match against Angola. Thus, Mauritius ranks fifth in the standings, ahead only of the team from Eswatini.
Libya and Mauritius have never met in official matches.
Libya will score more than 2 goals, considering that the opponent is not as formidable as Cameroon or Cape Verde.
Libya will triumph. The Libyan players have a higher calibre than their Mauritian counterparts, who rarely appear in major tournaments. Mauritius currently lacks a standout generation capable of causing an upset.
