Asian Cup Semifinal Clash Between Jordan and Qatar in 2024: Odds, Schedule, and Forecast
2024 Asian Cup Final Preview: Jordan Takes on Defending Champions Qatar
The stage is set for an epic showdown in the final of the 2024 AFC Asian Cup. On Saturday, February 10, 2024, at the Lusail Iconic Stadium in Lusail, Qatar, Jordan and the host nation will battle it out for the Asian soccer throne.
Jordan, a team made up almost exclusively of players playing in Asia, has already achieved the greatest success in its team's history by reaching the final of the 2024 Asian Cup. They had never reached the final of a major tournament before, but their journey to the final has been nothing short of remarkable.
In the semifinal, Jordan outclassed South Korea, winning 2-0 and being +675 underdogs. The star of the show was playmaker Musa Al-Taamari, who scored one goal and made one assist. Al-Taamari is one of the main candidates for the MVP award in the 2024 Asian Cup.
On the other side of the field, Qatar, the defending AFC Asian Cup champion, has put on an impressive display in the tournament. Their standout win was against favored Iran in the semifinal, where they defeated the odds-on favorite 3-2.
Qatar's performance has been impressive, with most of the players from the title-winning generation still on the roster. They conceded an early goal against Iran but came back to lead 2-1 at halftime. Iran equalized in the second half, but Qatar scored the winning goal in the 82nd minute.
Despite Qatar being the betting favorite to win the final, the author's pick is Jordan. Qatar's victory in 2019 was expected, but Jordan's run to the final has been a surprise. If Jordan can repeat their semifinal performance, they have a good chance of causing another upset and winning the 2024 Asian Cup trophy.
The match will start at 10:00 AM ET and can be watched on Paramount. The author is eager to see which team will come out on top in this exciting final. Will Jordan stage another upset, or will Qatar defend their title? Tune in to find out!
