Latest Saudi Arabia vs Jordan team information

Saudi Arabia coach Renard will be without experienced right-back Ali Majrashi, who is recovering from a groin injury and has been absent for the past few weeks.

The Blues are also without a number of players from Al Ittihad and Al Qadsiah, as the two clubs prepare for the King's Cup final on Friday.

Among those who will not be able to play are Muhannad Shanqeeti – who has played in the last two matches, and Jehad Thakri – who made his international debut against Japan.

Jordan will also be without their all-time leading scorer, Hamza Al-Dardour, with 33 goals. He last played for the national team in January 2024.

Coach Sellami is expected to stick with his favoured three-man defence, with the back three Abdullah Nasib, Yazan Al-Arab and Mo Abdulnadi protecting goalkeeper Yazeed Abdulaila.

The attack line can keep the same trio that started in the previous match including Mousa Al-Taamari, Mahmoud Al Mardi and Yazan Al-Nuaimat.

Latest football commentary Saudi Arabia vs Jordan

After sharing wins in recent qualifiers, Saudi Arabia will be looking to get back on track on Thursday night, especially as they look to maintain their unbeaten run in 2025.

Nhận định Ả Rập Saudi vs Jordan: Chủ nhà chiến thắng

The Blues opened their group with a 2-0 win at Amman International Stadium in November 2023, but were then beaten 2-1 by Jordan in the return leg in Riyadh.

Despite qualifying for the next round, Saudi Arabia’s journey since then has been anything but smooth. Herve Renard’s side currently sit third in Group C with 10 points from two wins, four draws and two defeats.

The result leaves them three points off the play-off places with just two games remaining, but recent performances have shown signs of recovery.

After a 1-0 win over China, the "Arabian Falcons" earned a valuable 0-0 draw in Japan – a result that could prove decisive late in the race.

As they prepare for the trip to Bahrain next Thursday, and the final group game against Australia five days later, a positive result in this friendly could be the perfect stepping stone.

However, it is Jordan who have shown clear improvement since advancing, with coach Jamal Sellami's team aiming for a historic milestone of qualifying for the World Cup for the first time.

Currently second in Group B, the "Gentlemen" are currently in the automatic qualification position with 13 points, one point ahead of Iraq and three points ahead of Oman - the team currently in fourth place.

In their most recent outing, Jordan held South Korea to a 1-1 draw in Seoul in March, a result that saw them rise to 62nd in the latest FIFA rankings.

That draw followed a 3-1 win over Palestine; although they are unbeaten in four games, that victory was the only time they have taken all three points in their last eight games in all competitions – a run that includes six draws and one defeat.
