Angola invite Libya to Estádio 11 de Novembro for a 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying second round fixture on Tuesday.
Libya got off to a winning start in their qualifying campaign as they came back from behind against Gabon to record a 2-1 home win. Angola suffered a 1-0 loss against Egypt, conceding a fifth-minute penalty in their trip to Cairo.
Libya have never qualified for the World Cup finals while Angola will be hoping to make it into the group stage for the first time since 2006.
