Mauritius vs Libya prediction, match preview, betting tips and odds on October 13, 2025
World Cup Qualification CAF
In the 10th round of the Africa World Cup qualifiers on October 13, 2025, the national teams of Mauritius and Libya will face off. Only a victory will keep the visitors' theoretical chances of finishing second in the group alive.
Our Prediction for Mauritius vs Libya
The Mauritius national team has a rather modest history. They have only appeared once in the Africa Cup of Nations, and that was half a century ago, in 1974. Moreover, in the relatively low-profile COSAFA Cup, they haven't made the playoffs in the past two decades. Their main success has come against Eswatini in the group, from whom they've collected most of their points, even managing to win.
Libya is not rated much higher. They've qualified for the AFCON only three times (although they did reach the final at home in 1982), and are set to miss out again this time. However, in this qualification campaign, they tried to capitalize on Cameroon’s slip-ups—after a couple of victories in the September rounds, they narrowed the gap to just one point.
In the previous round, the group outsider faced the favorite, Cameroon, and, as expected, lost. Libya played the group leaders, Cape Verde, and the match ended in a spectacular 3-3 draw, which sparked some controversial suspicions of match-fixing.
