Pakistan vs Jordan Prediction and Betting Tips | March 21st 2024
Pakistan will host Jordan at the Jinnah Sports Stadium on Thursday in another round of the 2026 World Cup qualification campaign.
The home side have endured a difficult start to their qualification campaign suffering a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Saudi Arabia in their first match. They were then thrashed 6-1 by Tajikistan in their second match, with Rahis Nabi's second-half strike ultimately counting as a mere consolation strike.
Pakistan sit rock-bottom in Group G with zero points from an obtainable six. They sit a point and a place behind their midweek opponents in the group standings and will leapfrog them with a win on Thursday.
Jordan, meanwhile, kicked off their World Cup qualifiers with a 1-1 draw against Tajikistan, falling behind late in the game before Yazan Al-Naimat levelled the scores in additional time. They then lost 2-0 to Saudi Arabia in their next match and perhaps deserved more from the game but failed to capitalize on their possessional dominance.

Pakistan vs Jordan Prediction
Pakistan are on a run of back-to-back defeats and have won just one match since September 2018. They will look to shake off their latest results and kickstart their qualification campaign this week.
Jordan, meanwhile, enjoyed a brilliant AFC Asian Cup campaign and will head into the midweek clash full of confidence. The visitors have won three of their last four matches and should come out on top here as well.
Prediction: Pakistan 0-3 Jordan
