Jordan vs Australia
Jordan faces a crucial period in the fourth week of Group B against Australia. They will try to use this opportunity to stage a coup to the top. The clash began Thursday night (11/14) at the King Abdullah Stadium.
Jordan is currently ranked runner up with 7 points. The number was collected after meeting Chinese Taipei (1-2), Kuwait (0-0), and Nepal (3-0). However, Australia managed to surpass that achievement with a perfect record against Kuwait (0-3), Nepal (5-0) and Chinese Taipie (1-7). Therefore, they are more worthy of being at the top.
Furthermore, Australia will try to stay there, as well as bury a bad record against Jordan after losing 0-1 at the Asian Cup earlier this year. At that time the visitors managed to match 6 shots on target host, even though only controlled 22% possession.
The same tactic could be applied to tomorrow’s game, although this time Jordan plays at home. So far they always win with that role, respectively 2-1 and 2-0 in 2012 and 2015. However, Australia is predicted to provide more fierce resistance armed with a perfect record. Jordan itself will get additional pressure from Kuwait, which is currently stuck in the order of 3 with a difference of 3 points. Because, the rivals will entertain the weakest participant, Chinese Taipei, so it is predicted to win.
Our Prediction: 2
Odds: 1.80
