In-form Libya go in search of a third victory in a row on Tuesday afternoon as they welcome Cameroon to the Martyrs of February Stadium.
Meanwhile, the visitors make the journey to Benghazi having recently returned to winning ways in emphatic fashion last time out.
Match preview
Cameroon were far too strong for Mauritius and highlighted their superiority in an emphatic 3-0 triumph when the sides met at the Japoma Stadium on Friday.
Rigobert Song's men got their noses in front on the stroke of half time through Bryan Mbeumo, after which Georges-Kevin N'Koudou and Frank Magri netted in the second half to seal the deal.
That brought an end to a two-game losing streak for the Indomitable Lions, who have now won back to back competitive games for the first time this year.
Up next is the challenge of an opposing outfit with just one win in seven previous editions of this fixture, losing four of the remaining six.
Winless on the road since June 2022, Tuesday's visitors have work to do at both ends of the pitch if they are to turn their away fortunes around.
Libya claimed a hard-fought 1-0 win over Eswatini at the Mbombela Stadium on Friday to kick off their World Cup qualifying on a positive note.
Despite having their backs against the wall for major spells of the clash, Milutin Sredojevic's men broke the deadlock through Ahmed Ekrawa and held on for all three points.
Since suffering three losses on the bounce back in March, the Mediterranean Knights are unbeaten in the subsequent four matches across all competitions.
Having recently picked up a first home win in four outings, Tuesday's hosts now seek consecutive victories in front of their fans for the first time in 2023.
