The penultimate round of the 2021 AFCON qualifiers is here and Libya will be hosting neighbors Tunisia in a Group J clash. This match will be historic for Libya as it will be the first time they get to host a game at home in seven years. Unfortunately, the celebrations that come with hosting the game on Libyan soil will be muted by the fact that the hosts are bottom in the group. Libya’s only win in the group was against Tanzania and they have just three points from the opening four matches, while Tunisia have 10 points and top the group. By the time this match ends, Libya may already be out of contention for a place in the finals, as second placed Equatorial Guinea hosts Tanzania, needing just a win. Libya have conceded the most goals in this group – nine, and they are winless in their last nine matches. Their last 17 matches have returned just two wins, while in AFCON qualification matches, they have six losses in eight matches. The nation has no clean sheet in the last eight AFCON qualification matches.

Tunisia will still be favorites in this North African derby after beating Libya 4-1 in the opening group game. In their last match, Tunisia was pegged back by Tanzania in a 1-1 draw but then they only needed that one point to secure their ticket for the finals. Tunisia have been a cut above their mates in this group, and they have the most goals (7), while conceding the least too (2). They are unbeaten in the group and have three clean sheets in their last five matches. Heading to this game Tunisia are unbeaten in six matches and in AFCON qualification matches, they haven’t lost in the last five. Tunisia have lost just one game in their last 14 in AFCON qualifiers.
