Jordan is set to face Bahrain at Khalifa International Stadium with high spirits in the final round of the 2023 AFC Asian Cup group stage on Thursday.
The Chivalrous Ones kicked off their continental campaign with an impressive 4-0 victory over Malaysia, where Mahmoud Al-Mardi and Mousa Al-Taamari scored braces for the team. They later played a 2-2 draw against South Korea in their second group game, showing promise of a hard-fought victory before their opponents leveled the score in additional time, courtesy of a Yazan Alarab own goal.
Jordan Leading the Group
Jordan is currently at the top of the table in the group stage of the AFC Asian Cup, having secured four points out of a possible six. They only need one point on Thursday to confirm their spot in the last-16. The team, known for its resilience, is hopeful of clinching a victory in this upcoming match.
Bahrain‘s Challenge
On the flip side, Bahrain faced a setback in their group opener last week, losing 3-1 to South Korea. They were perhaps fortunate not to suffer a more significant defeat. However, they bounced back in their second group game, securing a 1-0 victory against Malaysia at Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium last Saturday. Ali Madan’s spectacular finish secured three crucial points for Muharabi Dilmun.
Path Ahead
The Pearl Divers currently stand third in their group with three points. A win on Thursday will automatically propel them to the knockout stages, while a draw could also prove sufficient. A strong performance can take them further, and we’re heading towards an exciting contest.
Jordan’s Impressive Form
Jordan is currently enjoying a streak of back-to-back unbeaten outings, having lost only one of their last four matches. They are positioned just one place behind their midweek opponents in the FIFA rankings, making them optimistic about their chances ahead of Thursday’s clash.
Bahrain’s Recent Improvement
Bahrain, on the other hand, recently ended a three-game losing streak, and they aim to build on that momentum this week. However, their recent record in this fixture has been challenging, and they might face another setback in this encounter.
Prediction: Jordan 1-0 Bahrain
