Jordan has already secured their participation in the 2026 World Cup, accumulating 16 points from nine matches played. With this in mind, the hosts can approach the final match of the group stage without tension, seeking a positive end to their successful campaign. The fact that they have finished level in almost half of their matches so far suggests that they are not willing to take unnecessary risks in evenly matched clashes.
Weak form for IraqIraq missed their chance to qualify directly and will now focus their efforts on the next stage of the qualifiers. However, their form is concerning - in their last five matches, they have not tasted victory, recording four losses and one draw. This negative streak speaks of fluctuations, but also of the possibility of partial redemption in the final match of this stage.
Prediction: DrawConsidering Jordan's secured qualification and Iraq's unconvincing performance, as well as their motivation to break the negative streak, I expect a balanced game and a draw.
