Preview

- Venue: Amman International Stadium, Jordan
Jordan and South Korea will be continuing their journey in the third round of the Asian Qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The countries are a part of Group B. Jordan vs South Korea will be a clash between the top two teams in the group and hence will have an added element of competing for the top spot. Both sides have four points from their opening two games in round three. Jordan sits at the top of the group while South Korea is at the second place currently. The two nations met in February with Jordan coming out on top with a 2-0 win.
Jordan’s recent form outlines a cheerful mood in the dressing room. The nation has managed five victories and a draw in the last six games with an aggregate score of 19-3. Jordan was able to negate the threat in round two rather comfortably with 13 points from six games. Manager, Jamal Sellami will be aware that tougher tests will await his team in the third round but the Middle East nation has commenced the round on an encouraging note with a win and a draw so far.
South Korea National Football Team has also been on a fine run of results lately. In the last six outings, the South Koreans have accumulated four victories and two draws. The unbeaten run has witnessed some big scorelines as well like the 7-0 humiliation of Singapore. South Korea is one of the strongest and most potent competitors in the AFC World Cup qualifiers. A direct qualification to the showpiece event in North America in 2026 is the minimum expectation of the federation as well as the fans. The players and the coaching staff are en route to achieving that aim but will need to eliminate any signs of complacency.
Jordan National Football Team News
For the Jordan National Team, Mousa Al-Taamari will not be available due to a sprained ankle. Jamal Sellami will be relieved to have the rest of his squad available for selection against South Korea. His pre-match press conference will answer further questions about his preferences for the starting XI on Thursday.
South Korea National Football Team News
The South Koreans will have one key absentee on Thursday evening. Heung-Min Son will have to sit out due to a muscle injury. It is a big blow for the nation as Son bears the majority of the attacking responsibility. Myung-Bo Hong confirmed that his medical staff are attempting to get Son back for the game against Iraq. South Korea will line in a 4-2-3-1 formation which will change into a 4-3-3 in possession.

Key Players to Watch in Jordan vs South Korea
Kim Min-Jae (South Korea)
With Heung-Min Son absent for the trip to Jordan, Kim Min-Jae will be the player to look forward to in the South Korean camp. Kim along with Son is one of the most seasoned individuals for the South Korea National Team. The 27-year-old has been a regular feature for Bayern Munich so far this season. Kim Min-Jae has 64 appearances to his name with his nation and has scored four goals in the process. His ability to cover large distances on the pitch and step forward into the attack will be the key to Korea’s game plan. Kim is one of the most complete and potent centre-backs in world football right now.
Kang-In Lee (South Korea)
The 23-year-old plays his club football with Paris Saint-Germain in the Ligue 1. Lee is a talented winger and is usually deployed on the right side of the attack due to his tendency to cut in from the flanks. Playing under the guidance of Luis Enrique in Paris has unlocked a more comprehensive version of Kang-In Lee. He will be required to be a menace against Jordan in the absence of Son. Lee has nine goals in 30 matches for the South Korean National Team. The Jordan left side will have to be alert and aware to counter the threat of Kang-In Lee.
Jordan vs South Korea Prediction
The recent form of Jordan will invite hope and expectations to the supporters for a win over South Korea. Nonetheless, the visitors have a slight advantage in terms of individual quality and that should be enough to guide them to a win. The loss in February would also encourage the South Koreans for redemption.
Predicted Score: Jordan 0-2 South Korea
