Cape Verde, Group D leaders in the World Cup qualifiers, look poised to secure another victory as they face Libya, who have struggled for consistency. Libya have drawn three of their last five home games and scored only three goals at home, while Cape Verde have been strong away, with three wins and nine goals in the last five away matches. Having won their previous meeting 1-0, Cape Verde are backed to win again, with both teams expected to score in a competitive fixture.
