Jordan vs Qatar Prediction & Match Preview

• Qatar won eight, drew one, and lost one of the last ten games in all competitions.
• Qatar have six wins, one draw, and one defeat in the previous eight meetings with Jordan.
• Akram Afif delivered five goals and three assists in six matches so far in the tournament.

Hosts Qatar will have a chance to defend their continental throne on Saturday afternoon when they take on Jordan in the 2024 AFC Asian Cup final. The match takes place at Lusail Stadium.

Qatar won five and drew one of six games so far in the tournament. Their toughest challenge came in the quarterfinal when the Maroons needed penalty shootout to eliminate Uzbekistan. The team led by Tintin Marquez avoided extra-time and penalties in the semifinal tie with Iran thanks to a late winner from striker Ali Almoez.

The semifinal between Qatar and Iran was probably the best game we’ve seen in the entire tournament. The teams registered 13 shots on target combined. We saw five goals and multiple changes of lead. It is very interesting to note that all three of Qatar’s knockout phase games provided goals at both ends.

Jordan are certainly the most pleasant surprise of the tournament. The Brave Gentlemen shocked the continent by reaching their first AFC Asian Cup ever. They have done so via an amazing semifinal display against South Korea. The team led by Moroccan manager Lhoussaine Ammouta limited star-studded South Korea to zero attempts on target on Tuesday afternoon.

Recent Meetings

These two teams met each other exactly a month ago in their final tests for the AFC Asian Cup. Jordan won the friendly 2-1 on the occasion.

We saw goals at both ends in four of the previous six head-to-head matches between these rivals.

Jordan vs Qatar Prediction

Qatar are the favourites for a good reason. They are the defending champions and they play in front of the home fans. The Maroons are also on a run of eight wins, one draw, and one loss in the last ten games in all competitions. Akram Afif and Almoez Ali are enjoying a spectacular form in this tournament. Jordan have never previously been to the semifinal of the competition, let alone the final. They did look fantastic on Wednesday against South Korea but we doubt they can quite replicate such a display in the grand final. Last but not least, Qatar have been the dominant side in the history of this matchup with six wins, one draw, and two losses in nine clashes with Jordan. You can back Qatar to win at the 2.15 odds.

Akram Afif is Qatar’s main star. He scored five goals and delivered three assists in six matches so far in the tournament. He takes penalties for Qatar. We expect him to make the difference one more time and help the Maroons lift the trophy on Saturday. Akram Afif is well worth backing to score anytime at the 3.25 odds.
