Group E action at the Asian Cup continues on Saturday with a first-place showdown, as Jordan take on South Korea at Al Thumama Stadium.
The Jordanians began their campaign with an impressive 4-0 win over Malaysia, while the Tigers of Asia scored a pair of second-half goals to defeat Bahrain 3-1.
That result has Jordan at the top of the group on goal difference and unbeaten in their last four Asian Cup group fixtures.
It seems as though Hussein Ammouta's men picked up a thing or two from Japan when it comes to scoring, with the Japanese thumping them 6-1 just days before their Asian Cup opener, while Jordan's four-goal output on matchday one was the most they have netted in a single game since March 2023 (4-0 win over the Philippines).
The Chivalrous Ones have not conceded a goal in their last six group-stage affairs in this competition, and with a win on Saturday, they stand a good chance of making it into the knockout stage of this tournament on consecutive occasions.
