Head-to-head statistics Jordan - Iraq
Jordan Team Overview
Jordan are showing solid form in World Cup qualifying, securing four wins from five games, with their only setback coming in the last round against Iran (49-67). The team was led by Harris, who put up 18 points, and El-Diwari, who contributed a double-double with 17 points and 11 rebounds. However, the rest of the squad struggled offensively, shooting a dismal 2-for-25 from beyond the arc, a mere 8% accuracy thatβs rarely seen at this level. The home crowd will be eager for redemption, and Iraq, the groupβs underdog, seem a likely target. Jordan have already posted some lopsided victories in this campaign, including a massive +52 margin over Syria.

Iraq Team Overview
Iraq are enduring a turbulent period, with defeats in every World Cup qualifier starkly illustrating their struggles. The teamβs main weakness lies in their porous defense, conceding an average of 91.4 points per game. Realistically, expectations were never high, as most of the squad ply their trade in the modest domestic league, where opportunities for development are scarce. Perhaps these tough qualifying matches will toughen Iraq up for the next cycle, allowing them to move beyond the role of mere participants. For now, though, they are simply no match for Jordan.

β Editor's Pick
The match is unlikely to turn into a high-scoring affair. Jordan, even against weaker opponents, rarely push the tempo - their average points per game sit at just 80.8. A run of seven consecutive home games finishing under 153.5 total points further highlights their cautious approach. Iraq, meanwhile, seldom dictate a fast-paced game on the road, averaging only 69.8 points per outing. Their defense regularly concedes plenty, but the significant gap in quality between the teams should prevent a shootout. After a disappointing previous outing, Jordan are expected to show much more discipline on their home court. Our pick: under 153.5 total points.No comments
