Jordan vs Bahrain Prediction & Betting Tips (25 January)

It is with pleasure that we find an ever more surprising Jordanian team. Indeed, the teammates of Montpellier Al-Tamari easily won their first meeting against Malaysia 4-0, before putting one of the favorite nations of the competition in difficulty, being joined in the last minutes against South Korea. South a week ago 2-2. Despite a preparation that could have been described as worrying, with a major defeat on Japanese soil 6-1 and against a weak Lebanese team 2-1, the Jordanians finally headed towards the eighth for the third edition in a row! Their best result in the Asian Cup is none other than a quarter-final reached in 2011. For its part, the Bahraini selection could see its journey stop in the groups if it loses, as had been the case in the case in the 2007, 2011 and 2015 editions.

This year, they logically lost to the South Koreans in the first match 3-1, before coming to reassure themselves against the weak Malaysians 1-0. That being said, the Bahrain selection no longer managed to find the momentum which had brought it to the gates of the World Cup in 2006. Almost only facing teams from the Asia/Middle East zone and often suffering from heavy defeats against standard-level nations, Bahrain stagnates and remains in search of the first title in its history. The Reds will play the most important match of the year against a team against whom the last two confrontations ended in a Jordanian victory.

When Bahrain come calling in the Asian Cup, excitement tends to follow, with the Bahrain outfit both scoring and conceding during the same 89 minutes in each of their last nine away games. What’s more, 10 of the previous 14 Jordan home games at this level have subscribed to the same pattern, meaning that clean sheets could prove hard to come by.
