Palestine vs Jordan Prediction: Palestine will take positives

Palestine host Jordan at the KLFA Stadium in Round 3 of the FIFA World Cup Asian Qualifiers. Palestine will take the positives from their draw against South Korea into the game. Who will be victorious after 90 minutes?

Against the South Koreans, Palestine put on a decent defensive performance, considering they had only 25% of the possession. They completed a mere 150 accurate passes to the opposition's 615 while allowing 12 shots from inside the penalty area. They did manage to produce 10 shots despite having such little time on the ball; however, they created a big chance-just one-whereas their opponents fashioned four.

Under the tutelage of Boss Makram Dabboub, Palestine are without a win in three but have suffered only one defeat in the last five games across all platforms. Having never advanced beyond the group stages of the World Cup, Palestine has been beaten only twice in seven AFC qualifying matches for the World Cup with three wins and two draws.

At home, the new form of Palestine has been inconsistent with two losses, two draws, and one win in the last five matches, but before these, they had won 11 and drawn two of their previous 13 matches.

Jordan may consider themselves disappointed with a result that ended all square, considering they were ahead for most of the match and conceded a penalty in the 92nd minute of the match. Coach Jamal Sellami will find solace in the fact that his charges have not lost any of their last seven matches and indeed have won eight out of their last eleven games. Coming into the Kuwait draw, Jordan had won all four AFC World Cup qualifying matches, scoring a total of 15 goals and conceding just one. Their recent away form has been impressive as they have won their last five matches with three clean sheets. The only recent away loss to Japan was on January 9 as they lost 6-1.

With only one defeat in the last five matches, Palestine have failed to register a win in any of the last three. Considering Jordan's good away form and all-around good performances this season, they could be tipped to take the win from Tuesday's clash.
