Iraq are a team in form while Jordan advanced as one of the best four best third-placed sides following the conclusion of the group stage.
Unbeaten Iraq
Iraq are undefeated in their last five meetings with Jordan (W2 D3) and won 1-0 in their only previous encounter at the AFC Asian Cup (2015 group stage).

Looking to maintain momentum
Iraq have won their last three games in a row at the AFC Asian Cup – their longest ever winning streak at the tournament – but are winless in five knockout games at the tournament since defeating Saudia Arabia 1-0 in the final of the 2007 edition.

Jordan’s knockout stage blues
This will be Jordan’s fourth knockout game at the AFC Asian Cup having lost all three of their previous attempts including two defeats on penalties; though, they have scored exactly one goal in each of their three previous post-group games at the tournament.

On fire
Iraq’s Aymen Hussein has scored five goals so far at Qatar 2023, two more than any other player; indeed, it is the most goals by an Iraq player at a single edition of the tournament.
