Jordan vs Qatar Tips

Jordan have been exceptional at the Asian Cup, with the side securing a string of huge results to make it to the final of the competition.

Hosts Qatar are now just a single win away from defending their Asian Cup crown after a pulsating 3-2 win over Iran in the last round.

Head To Head

Jordan won their last meeting with Qatar, with this ending a run of three wins in a row for the latter. In their last 10, Qatar have five wins, Jordan have won three times and there have been two draws.

Jordan Form

Jordan have continued to impress at the Asian Cup, with their 2-0 win over South Korea arguably the performance of the tournament so far.

Jordan managed to completely nullify the threat of their opponents as they kept a clean sheet and scored two goals. This, alongside wins over Tajikistan and Iraq in the knockout rounds shows Jordan are not a side to be taken lightly.

While Jordan beat Qatar 2-1 when the sides met back in January, it would still be a surprise to see them down the tournament hosts and reigning champions.

Qatar Form

Qatar have been brilliant at the Asian Cup, although they have had to really fight for each win they have picked up.

A 2-1 win over Palestine in the Round of 16 was followed by a win on penalties over Uzbekistan. They were then pushed all the way in a pulsating 3-2 win over Iran. Qatar have really earned their place in the final, but they know the hard-work is not over yet.

Qatar are the slight favourites at $2.15 with bet365, but they need to keep their composure and concentration for the whole game if they are to end Jordan's run.

Verdict

Jordan v Qatar

I am backing Qatar to win this one and secure back-to-back Asian Cup trophies. While I do not predict that they will keep a clean sheet, I believe they have enough quality to down their spirited opponents.
