After two matchdays, Nigeria currently leads the group with four points, while Libya sits at the bottom with just one point.
The Super Eagles are in excellent form, remaining unbeaten in their first two qualifiers. They kicked off their campaign with a convincing 3-0 victory over Benin Republic, followed by a goalless draw against Rwanda.
Conversely, Libya has faced challenges in the group stages. The Mediterranean Knights managed a 1-1 draw in their home opener against Rwanda but suffered a defeat away to Benin, leaving them with only one point in the standings.
With their strong start in the qualifiers, Nigeria is well-positioned to secure a spot in the 2025 AFCON tournament. The Super Eagles also hold a psychological and historical edge, having won all previous matches against Libya.

However, the Mediterranean Knights will be eager to upset the odds and aim for at least a draw in Uyo.
Despite being the favourites, Nigeria will miss their star forward, Victor Osimhen, who has been in exceptional form since joining Galatasaray. His absence could challenge the team’s attacking capabilities.
