Libya and Egypt will battle for three points on matchday four of the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers at the 28 March Stadium in Benghazi on Monday.
Both sides clashed in the first leg on Friday, with VfB Stuttgart forward Omar Marmoush scoring the match-winner for Egypt four minutes into the second half.
That win on home soil helped the Pharoahs reclaim top spot in Group F from their north African rivals. Egypt have garnered seven points from three matches while Libya are one point below them.

The result of the return leg could go a long way in determining who qualifies for the next round and the two sides will give their all for victory.
Libya vs Egypt Head-to-Head
The two sides have clashed on 19 occasions in the past and Egypt have an overwhelmingly better record with 13 wins to their name.
Libya were victorious in three matches while three previous games ended in a share of the spoils.
Their most recent meeting came on Friday when Egypt's victory on home turf propelled them ahead of the Mediterranean Knights to the summit of the group.
The hosts are currently on a 12-game unbeaten run since being eliminated by South Africa on home turf in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations. Libya's loss in Cairo halted a two-game winning run.
