Game Prediction
On November 14, 2024, Iraq and Jordan will face off in the 5th round of the Asian World Cup qualifiers. This is a crucial matchup between the primary contenders for second place in their group.
Prediction for Iraq vs Jordan
The "Lions of Mesopotamia" have yet to replicate their 1986 World Cup appearance. However, they won the AFC Asian Cup in this century and continue to perform well in the competition. Last winter, they advanced from the group stage with three wins, including one over Japan. But they were knocked out in the Round of 16 by "Nashama" (Jordan). Jordan, hitting their stride at the right time, went on to eliminate Tajikistan and South Korea before falling to the tournament hosts, Kuwait, in the final match.
Under Jesús Casas, Iraq started the final qualifying round well. They defeated weaker teams Oman and Palestine (both 1-0 at home), drew 0-0 in Kuwait, and narrowly lost 2-3 to the group favorite in an intense away match.
Jordan, led by Adnan Hamad, had a shaky start to the autumn with a home draw against Kuwait. However, they bounced back with a 3-1 away win over Palestine and a commanding 4-0 victory over Oman. Yet, they struggled against South Korea, losing 0-2 at home.
