Nigeria followed up a 3-0 win over Benin Republic in their opening AFCON qualifier with a goalless draw away to Rwanda a few days later.

The Super Eagles top Group D with four points and are the only team yet to concede a goal in the group, and a double-header win over Libya would take them one step closer to qualification.

This will be the fifth meeting between Nigeria and Libya, with the Super Eagles winning all four previous encounters, including two matches in the 2018 AFCON qualifiers.

Augustine Eguavoen, who was appointed as the team's interim coach, has retained his position and has been tasked with leading Nigeria to the 2025 AFCON in Morocco.

Nigeria finished runners-up at the last AFCON and have lost just one of their last 14 AFCON qualifiers, a run they will be hoping to extend on Saturday.

Libya were held to a 1-1 draw by Rwanda in their opening AFCON qualifier before losing 2-1 to Benin in their second game.

The Mediterranean Knights took the lead from the spot through Faisal Al Badri in the ninth minute, but conceded two goals in a 12-minute spell in the second half that cost them the game.

Head coach Milutin Sredojevic will be hoping his side can pick up valuable points against Nigeria as they look to end a 12-year AFCON absence.

Libya's last appearance at the continental showpiece came in 2012, but they currently sit bottom of Group D with one point and will need to turn things around quickly if they are to end that run.

Nigeria will be without Galatasaray's new striker Victor Osimhen and defender Olisah Ndah, who is with Orlando Pirates in South Africa.

Sevilla's Chidera Ejuke returns to the side after a couple of years away, while Bright-Osayi Samuel is back in contention after missing the last month through injury.

Ademola Lookman will be the man to watch for the hosts, having scored a brace in their last home game against Benin.

Libya will be without Ahli Tripoli defender Ahmed Al-Tarbi, Al-Nasr's Mohammed Al-Tabbal and African Club of Tunisia's Ali Yousse due to injury.

The Mediterranean Knights' attack will be led by Ahmed Kraouaa, who is yet to score in the AFCON qualifiers.

Nwabali; Ekong, Ajayi, Bassey; Aina, Ndidi, Onyedika, Onyemaechi; Lookman, Boniface, Chukwueze
