Matchday 8 in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers will see Libya play host to Eswatini on Monday evening. The Mediterranean Knights are in third place in CAF Group D, while the King’s Shield are bottom of the standings. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Libya enter matchday 8 of these World Cup qualifiers with 11 points from seven games (W3 D2 L2) and trail second-placed Cameroon by four points with three games still to play.
The Mediterranean Knights held off a stern test to edge Angola to a 1-0 victory on the road on Thursday night, with Ezoo El Mariamy scoring the winner. He has now scored in the team’s last two games in this competition.
Notably, the hosts are unbeaten at home in qualifying (W1 D2), and have only lost one of their last 11 home matches across all competitions.
Meanwhile, Eswatini have only managed two points in seven games, and like Mauritius in this group, they are out of contention to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, regardless of their remaining results.
The King’s Shield suffered a 3-0 defeat to Cameroon last week and are now winless in their last five matches across all competitions, dating back to the end of December 2024 against Madagascar.
The visitors have lost all three of their away games in this competition and failed to score in two. They were also beaten 1-0 by this opponent in the reverse fixture back on matchday 1.

Our Libya vs Eswatini Prediction
Libya have done well to keep themselves in contention to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, especially when we’ve already seen several big teams suffer elimination. This represents their best chance of picking up another three points in the group, and they are the clear favourites to get the win here.
Eswatini will not be heading to the World Cup next year. However, while we feel they will lose this match, we expect them to do everything to keep the scoreline respectable as they look to salvage some pride before bowing out. Our Libya vs Eswatini prediction is under 2.5.
