Khel Now brings you the predicted starting 11 of Jordan for this crucial clash, who will be aiming for the title at the Lusail Stadium on Saturday. Hussein Ammouta’s men are expected to lineup in 3-4-2-1 formation for the game which they have been following throughout the tournament. 

Jordan predicted lineup (Formation: 3-4-2-1)

Goalkeeper: Yazeed Abulaila 

Abulaila has been a pivotal figure for Jordan in the goalkeeping position. The goalkeeper has achieved three clean sheets and made 16 saves in the span of six matches during the AFC Asian Cup 2023.

Right Centre Back: Abdallah Nasib 

The right centre back has accumulated 540 minutes on the field, the highest among all players representing Jordan in this tournament, exemplifying his exceptional fitness and significant role within the team. Additionally, he has executed 18 clearances, achieved seven successful interceptions, and maintains a commendable pass accuracy of 81.9%.

Centre Back: Yazan Al-Arab

The centre-back, Al-Arab, has sustained his exceptional performance throughout the tournament. He has successfully executed six interceptions and has maintained a presence on the field for a total of 450 minutes. While he was absent during the match against Bahrain, he made a notable return by scoring a goal against Iraq.

Left CentreBack: Salem Al-Ajalin

The left centre back was absent from the last match but is expected to return for the final. He has played a crucial role in the defensive line and has formed a strong partnership with Yazan Al-Arab when it comes to thwarting the opposition’s attacks.

Right Midfielder: Ihsan Haddad

Haddad has only missed one match in the tournament, which was the match against Bahrain. With eight successful interceptions in the five matches he has participated in, he has been a key player for Jordan in the midfield area.

Defensive Midfielder: Nizar Al-Rashdan

Nizar has displayed remarkable courage in the midfield, having scored a goal and contributed an assist during the tournament. Furthermore, an in-depth analysis of the statistics reveals that the midfielder has executed seven successful interceptions in the four matches he has participated in thus far.

Defensive Midfielder: Noor Al-Rawabdeh

The central midfielder was absent for three matches in the tournament as a result of a rib fracture, but made a strong comeback during the quarterfinal match against Tajikistan, where the team faced a formidable challenge to secure victory. It is highly likely that he will start the final match from the beginning.

Left Midfielder: Mohammad Abu-Hashish

Abu-Hashish has been a consistent presence in the Jordanian team throughout the tournament. The left midfielder was absent only in the match against Iraq, but otherwise featured in every game. Even in the final, he significantly influenced the left flank, delivering outstanding performance in line with the coach’s expectations.

Right Forward: Musa Al-Taamari 

Musa has emerged as one of the standout performers for Jordan in the tournament. He has successfully netted three goals for his team, one of which was crucially scored during the semi-final match. Musa played a pivotal role in Jordan’s semifinal victory, contributing not only with a goal but also with an assist during the match.

Left Forward: Mohamoud Al-Mardi

With two goals and an assist to his name, Al-Mardi made an impactful start to the tournament. However, since then, he has been relatively quiet on the field. While his midfield skills have been evident, his attacking prowess at the front has been somewhat lacking. His performance will be crucial for Jordan to outclass Qatar in the final. 

Striker: Yazan Al-Naimat

Al-Naimat has undoubtedly been the standout performer for the Jordanian team. Achieving three goals and three assists in this tournament is no easy feat. His impactful goal in the semifinal match against South Korea, as well as his impressive record of 20 shots on target in the tournament, highlights his significance as a key player for his side, capable of turning the game in their favor within moments.
