Palestine welcome the visitors Jordan in the Asian Cup. The match will be held on Tuesday, January 15th, at the Mohammed Bin Zayed Stadium (Abu Dhabi).
Even after Jordan’s win over Australia and Syria, the team are still underestimated. The Jordanians were lucky in the first encounter indeed, whilst they featured around same number of opportunities as the Australians did. The win over the Syrians was tactical, as Jordan gave their territorial advantage and counterattacked in that match. In our view, they will surpass the Palestine team as well. Moreover, the Jordanians are still motivated. The Australians are hard on heels, and the top place in the group provides for the better playoff draw. The nominal guests need to win in the coming clash to secure the first line in the group.

A win over Palestine is more than doable. Ali’s men are among the weakest in the Asian Cup. They’ve attained just 1 point so far – in the match against the Syrians, yet by the fortune’s help. In their meeting with Australia, they were rightfully netted 3 unanswered goals. The Palestinian team have no proper attack which could give a hope for success. Over 180 minutes played in the Asian Cup, they’ve hit the woodwork only 8 times and made no shots on target. So, it is not clear how they may impose their play to Jordan having won in 2 encounters with their goal locked.
Over the last 10 years, the Jordanians have changed a number of managers, struggling to find the right one. In 2018, the team were entrusted to the Belgian specialist Borkelmans. Under his stewardship, the team shined in new splendor. They started to fight back fiercely and learnt to attack properly. The team hit the woodwork 28 times in 2 rounds and made 10 shots on targets. They were attacked the Syrians and by the Australians, and the Jordanians will probably do same.
As of 2008, the sides met 4 times, 3 games saw Jordan’s wins (5:1, 4:1, and 4:1). In the Asian Cup, 4 years back, in particular, the Jordanians were 3:0 ahead yet by the end of the first half. They’ve grown stronger since then, which is not true about their Tuesday opponent. Borkelmans’ men will look to stay on the top, therefore, they will play their best tomorrow. The visiting team are not expected to concede, at least.
Prediction for the match: Jordan to win with a 0.0 handicap.
