Pakistan will be hoping for a better performance against Jordan during the FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifiers today.
In their home game against Jordan last week, after conceding an early goal, Pakistan not only created few chances but also prevented the visitors from scoring more goals.
The final score of the Group G match of the second round of the FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifiers at the Jinnah Stadium, Islamabad was 3-0 in favor of the second round of the Asia Cup final. On Tuesday (today), Pakistan will take on Jordan again – this time in the backyard of the Amman International Stadium.
The show will start at midnight. Pakistan arrived in Oman late on Sunday. And Stephen Constantine’s charges were well trained on Monday. It will be seen how Pakistan bans Jordan.
The hosts will look to secure more goals if they qualify for the third round as two of the group’s teams progress to the third round. The other two teams will take part in the 2027 Asia Cup qualifiers.
Tajikistan will (today) host Saudi Arabia in the same group at the Central Republic Stadium in Dushanbe on Tuesday. The Central Asian side are second in the standings with four points, ahead of Jordan on goal difference and after a 1-0 loss to Saudi Arabia in their away game.
Jordan could finish second in the group if Tajikistan is defeated by Saudi Arabia. In front of the home crowd, Jordan could be very lethal for Pakistan, who have lost all three games in the group so far.
“We still have one more game against the same opponent and we will be ready to do better when we play in Oman,” Jordan coach Hussain Amuta said in a post-match press conference in Islamabad last week. “
Pakistan will miss Mohammad Fazal
Pakistan will miss Mohammad Fazal and Abdullah Iqbal from Denmark. Fazal is suffering from a hamstring injury and Iqbal is facing suspension. He was shown a second yellow card against Jordan in Islamabad. He received his first yellow card on October 17 in the first round against Cambodia in Islamabad.
England’s Pakistan coach Stephen Constantine was delighted when his charges restricted Jordan to just three goals in Islamabad. “We’re doing better. It’s not easy to build a national team in three to four months, especially when we don’t have a league, but today the boys gave everything,” said Stephen in the press conference after the match.
