Libya vs Nigeria Live Updates: Super Eagles Gun For Double Over Knights

byTunde Eludini
October 16, 2018
3 min read

The Nigeria national team, the Super Eagles will be gunning for a possible double over their Libyan counterparts in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers tonight.

The Eagles trounced the Mediterranean Knights 4-0 in the reverse fixture a few days ago in Uyo and now they will be hoping to get another good result, this time at the Taïeb M’hiri Stadium, Sfax, Tunisia

A win for Nigeria on Tuesday would take the Super Eagles much closer to a place at the 2019 AFCON finals to be staged in Cameroon especially after Seychelles held South Africa to barren earlier in the day in Victoria.

The Nigerian team is second on the Group E table with six points, two less than leaders South Africa who have played a game more.

Should the Super Eagles win, they will jump to top spot and inch closer to qualifying for the 2019 AFCON after misses in 2015 and 2017.
