If you’re searching for a reliable Libya vs Eswatini prediction, you’re in the right place. With both teams meeting at the March 28 Stadium in Benghazi on September 8, 2025, this World Cup qualifier is more than just a regular fixture—it’s a story of two sides with different ambitions, recent surprises, and plenty of tactical intrigue. Let’s break down the key factors, recent form, and our best betting tips for this highly anticipated match.
Before diving into the numbers, let’s look at the background. Libya and Eswatini have already faced off in this qualification campaign, with Libya edging out a tight 1-0 win back in November 2023. Historically, the head to head record is a bit hazy—some sources say they’ve met three times (one win each and a draw), while others claim five meetings (again, one win each and three draws). Either way, these teams know each other well enough to expect a closely contested match.
Here’s where things get interesting:
Libya’s squad, valued at €1.17m, is more than double that of Eswatini’s (€500,000). However, the home team is not at full strength. Coach Aliou Cissé is missing several key players, including winger Hamdou Elhouni (injury), midfielder Muaid Ellafi (car accident), defender Mohamed El Monir (family reasons), and goalkeeper Muad Al Mansouri. Despite these absences, Libya’s recent form—especially their defensive discipline—has been impressive.
Let’s look at the last few games for both sides:
Given the context, expect Libya to control possession and look for a breakthrough, while Eswatini will likely sit deep and try to snatch something on the counter.
Now, let’s get to the heart of our Libya vs Eswatini prediction. The bookmakers have Libya as strong favorites at 1.39 for a home win, with the draw at 3.9 and an Eswatini upset at a distant 11.0. But what do the stats and our AI suggest?
Our AI-generated expected score is a narrow 1:0 win for Libya. This fits the pattern of recent results and the tactical setup of both teams. If you’re looking for betting tips, the combination of a home win and under 2.5 goals looks especially attractive.
To sum up our Libya vs Eswatini prediction: expect a tight, defensive battle with Libya edging it by the smallest of margins. Eswatini’s resilience might keep things interesting, but their lack of firepower should see them fall short once again. If you’re placing a bet, NG (at least one team won’t score) and under 2.5 goals are solid options, with a Libya win the most likely outcome.
