The hosts are the clear favorites! Libya vs Rwanda Prediction
One of the matches in the first round of the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers will be played on Wednesday in Tripoli, where Libya will host Rwanda. Here’s a prediction for this match from the Dailysports expert team.
Libya
The Libyan national team has been performing quite well recently and has a legitimate chance of securing a spot in AFCON 2025. In the ongoing qualification campaign for the 2026 World Cup, Libya has accumulated seven points in four rounds and currently sits in second place in Group D.
The Libyans started strong with three unbeaten matches, including victories over Eswatini and Mauritius, and a home draw against Cameroon. However, in their most recent match, Libya suffered a narrow 0-1 defeat away to Cape Verde. In their last match to date, Libya secured a 1-0 victory in a friendly against Botswana.
Rwanda
Unlike their opponents, Rwanda’s national team has struggled to deliver positive results over the past two years. However, they have recently shown their potential in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, where the "Wasps" are currently leading their group.
In four rounds, Rwanda has suffered only one defeat, a 0-1 away loss to Benin. They also secured crucial victories, including a 2-0 home win against South Africa and a 1-0 away victory over Lesotho. As a result, three teams are tied with seven points, but Rwanda tops the group due to a superior goal difference.
