Libya host Tunisia at the Martyrs of February Stadium in Benghazi on Tuesday in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, looking to avenge their earlier loss.

The Eagles of Carthage beat the Mediterranean Knights 3-0 in Tunis on Friday courtesy of goals from Youssef Msakni, Ali Maaloul and Haythem Jouini.

Following the latest round of games, Tunisia remained at the top of Group J with seven points in three games, while Libya are in third with just three.

Having secured such a convincing win, Tunisia's head coach Jalel Kadri could field the same XI here, even though he has options to shake his side up.

Jouini, who scored their third goal last week, made a fine impression on his debut and will be gunning for his first start with the national team.

Libya v Tunisia Prediction

Libya are trailing the top two in the group by three points but they aren't out of the race yet. The Mediterranean Knights can be a tough nut to crack on home soil and will give their north African neighbors a serious run for their money.

Tunisia, however, are a good team with talented players all across the field. They managed to beat then-defending world champions France in the group stages of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

The Eagles of Carthage may not have it as easy as they did in Tunis, but they should still prevail here.

Prediction: Libya 1-2 Tunisia
