One of the initial quarter-final matchups of the 2023 AFC Cup is scheduled for Friday at the "Ahmed bin Ali" arena in Al Rayyan. The national teams of Tajikistan and Jordan will engage in a face-off, competing for a spot in the top four. Our pundits have prepared a prediction for this match.

Tajikistan

The "Persian Lions" navigated through a challenging group, emerging with honor. After a goalless draw with China, Tajikistan suffered a 0-1 defeat to the favorite of the quartet, Qatar, in the second round. The decisive clash came against Lebanon in the third round. Despite conceding first, Petar Segrt's team managed to turn the tide and netted the winning goal in the second minute of stoppage time. This proved sufficient for them to secure the third spot in the group and advance to the UAE playoffs. The Round of 16 match against a semi-finalist from the last two AFC Cups proved to be a formidable challenge. Having scored first with a precise strike from Khanonov in the first half, Tajikistan conceded an equalizer in the 90+5th minute. The fate of the duel was ultimately decided in a penalty shootout (5:3), where the "Persian Lions" impressed with a 100% conversion rate.

Jordan

The group stage posed difficulties for Hussein Ammouta's team. After a convincing victory over Malaysia (4:0) at the start, "Nashama" secured a draw against the favorite of the South Korean quartet (2:2) in the second match. Despite leading the group after two rounds, a surprising defeat to Bahrain (0:1) pushed Ammouta's charges to the third position. The Round of 16 match against Iraq also did not unfold as expected for Jordan. "Nashama" scored first at the end of the first half but conceded twice in the 68th and 76th minutes. The situation changed after Hussein's expulsion from Iraq, enabling Jordan to press their opponent and score twice in extra time.
