There are huge stakes on the line as both teams eye a place in the AFC Asian Cup knockout stages.
Jordan and Bahrain will lock horns in a high-stakes Group E fixture of the 2023 AFC Asian Cup on 25 January 2024 at the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha, Qatar. The winner of the game will secure one of the top two automatic qualification spots into the Round of 16.
Jordan head into the game occupying the first position in Group E, level on four points with second-placed South Korea. A win or a draw against Bahrain will ensure a place in the next stage of the tournament, but losing will push them into third place where the side will have to be one of the best four third-placed teams to go ahead.
With such high stakes on the line, both Jordan and Bahrain are likely to put everything into the upcoming game, to have their destiny in their own hands and secure the automatic qualification spot as South Korea will likely beat Malaysia and secure one for themselves. As the excitement for this game builds, here is a look at what both teams will bring to the table in the upcoming game:

Mousa Al-Taamari is currently the leading goal-scorer for Jordan at the 2023 AFC Asian Cup with two goals. The attacking midfielder is a real threat from the right flank and loves to get inside the box to latch on to scoring chances. He is a major force in Jordan’s attacking line-up and must deliver a positive performance to give his side a chance to clinch victory against Bahrain.
Ali Madan (Bahrain)

Ali Madan was the saviour for Bahrain against Malaysia, as he scored in the 95th minute to keep their hopes alive of securing a direct berth in the Round of 16. The midfielder looked sharp in possession of the ball and made an impact with his ambition in attack. If Bahrain are planning to create scoring chances against Jordan’s tight defence which gave South Korea several headaches, then Ali Madan will need to turn up with the goods once again.
