* PRE-MATCH PREDICTIONS

Both Qatar and Jordan have shown convincing performances to be present in the final match of the 2023 Asian Cup. Although not highly appreciated, Jordan has created unforgettable marks on the way to the surprising final of the 2023 Asian Cup with a very high spirit, effort and determination.

The Jordanian team passed the group stage as one of the four best third-placed teams. Jordan showed an impressive performance when they beat Iraq 3-2 in a dramatic comeback in the round of 16, defeated the "dark horse" Tajikistan 1-0 in the quarter-finals and convincingly defeated candidate Korea 2-0 in the semi-finals.

Meanwhile, defending champion Qatar has defeated many strong teams such as Uzbekistan and Iran, the candidates for the championship of this year's tournament. With a perfect record in all 6 matches, the home team clearly has the basis to think about successfully defending the Asian championship title won in the UAE exactly 5 years ago.

In 24 previous meetings, Jordan only won 7, drew 5 and lost 12 matches against Qatar. However, in a friendly match that took place more than a month ago, Jordan won 2-1 and this will be a great support for coach Hussein Ammouta's team to aim for a historic victory.
