Libya – Angola : Preview & Prediction
Libya and Angola play at Stubhub Center, in a match for the World Cup Qualifiers – Africa (2nd Round). In this match, the home factor may have a decisive role, as Angola has shown differences in performance in their games at home and as a visitor.
After 2 wins and 3 losses, the home team is currently in the 2nd position, with 6 points won. In the last match, they lost by (1‑0) in an away match against Gabon, after having lost by (0‑3) at home to Egypt in the previous match. This is a team little affected by the home factor, that is, they have similar results at home and away, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 13 goals scored and 18 conceded, against 4 wins , 3 draws and 8 defeats at home, with 19 goals scored and 24 conceded. In the last 8 home matches Libya has a record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses. The team has conceded goals to its opponent in 4 of the last 5 matches for this competition, so they haven’t been very strong defensively.
Libya comes unmotivated for this game after a 1-0 setback in the trip to Gabon, thus adding the third consecutive defeat in this qualifying phase for the 2022 World Cup. In this game at home, coach Javier Clemente should play in 4-3-3 privileging defensive organization and counterattacking through the corridors. The man who acts in front of attack, the forward Mohamed Zaabia, is very powerful and competent when it comes to submitting. All players are available for this game.
The away team is currently in the 4th place, with 3 points won, after 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Gabon, by (2‑0). In the last match, they tied at home against Egypt, by (2‑2). This is a team that usually plays at home, stronger when they play with the support of their supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 8 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 9 goals scored and 13 conceded. At home, they won 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats, with a total of 21 goals scored and 13 conceded. In the last 5 away matches Angola has tied 1 and lost 4. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 6 of the last 7 matches for this competition. In 10 matches, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and never managed to turn the score around.
The Angolan team comes for this match after a 2-2 draw, against Egypt, adding the second match in a row without winning in this qualifying phase for the 2022 World Cup: the team’s goals were scored by M’Bala Nzola and Hélder Coast. No big surprises, coach Pedro Gonçalves should keep the team in 4-3-3 privileging the maintenance of ball possession and organized attacks, especially through the right: Hélder Costa is very fast and competent in transporting the ball to attack . All players are available for this game.
