Libya and Angola will trade tackles in a dead-rubber 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier on Tuesday.
The home side come into the game on the back of a 1-0 defeat away to Gabon on Friday. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored the winning goal from the penalty spot in the 54th minute.
Angola played out a 2-2 draw with Egypt on home turf. Helder Costa and M'Bala Nzola scored first-half goals to put the Palancas Negras two goals up but Egypt rallied back to secure a draw and qualify for the playoff stage.
Angola and Libya have already been eliminated from the qualifier but will battle to avoid finishing bottom of Group F.
Libya vs Angola Head-to-Head

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
