Jordan vs Syria Prediction 27 September 2026
📢 How will the match between Jordan and Syria play out? It is not the most high-profile fixture, and it is a friendly at that, but both sides are ranked inside the FIFA top 100 and are capable of producing decent football. Neither team has been winning regularly of late, so a positive result even in a game like this could give them a confidence boost ahead of their next competitive fixtures.
Recent head-to-head meetings have tended to go Jordan’s way.
📊 Jordan and Syria know each other reasonably well - they have played four meetings in recent years alone. Jordan have had the clear edge over that period, winning three times to Syria's one. The last encounter came in September 2022 and ended in a 2-0 win for Jordan.
Head-to-head statistics Jordan - Syria

Jordan have navigated a series of matches against tough opposition.
Jordan are yet to win in 2026, though their schedule has been a tough one. At the World Cup they lost consecutively to Austria 1-3, Algeria 1-2 and Argentina 1-3, with the xG in that last match (2.42 vs 0.53) reflecting just how dominant Argentina were. Before the tournament, Jordan lost 1-4 to Switzerland and 0-2 to Colombia in friendlies, and drew 2-2 with both Nigeria and Costa Rica in March. The results offer little encouragement, but almost all of those opponents were noticeably stronger than Jordan.
Match Results: Jordan

Syria are struggling to find consistency in their results.
Syria didn't qualify for the World Cup, and their results have left a lot to be desired even so. Towards the end of 2025 they beat South Sudan 2-0 and Tunisia 1-0, then drew with Qatar 1-1 and Palestine 0-0, before losing narrowly to Morocco (0-1). In 2026 the picture became even less convincing: after a big win over Afghanistan (5-1), Syria suffered a heavy defeat to Belarus, losing 1-4.

Total Goals Prediction
In 6 of their last 7 matches, Jordan have seen over 1.5 goals, pointing to consistent scoring. Their seasonal averages stand at 1.5 goals scored and 1.4 conceded, while Syria average 2.3 scored and just 0.4 conceded. Despite Syria's low goals-against figure, their own high scoring rate also contributes to the chance of 2 or more goals in the match. On that basis, Total Goals - Over 1.5 looks justified at odds of 1.4*.
Reliable Bet
Syria have conceded at least one goal in 17 of their last 18 matches, which is a consistent trend. Jordan, meanwhile, average 1.5 goals per match this season and 1.17 in home games. Given those numbers, the probability of the hosts scoring at least once is very high. The pick is Jordan Team Total - Over 0.5 Goals at odds of 1.17*.
* Odds are indicative and may vary across different bookmakers.
⭐️ Editorial Prediction
The bookmakers consider Jordan clear favourites for this match, and it is hard to argue with that. The hosts gained invaluable experience at the 2026 World Cup, where they faced opponents of the highest level, and home advantage will be an additional factor in their favour. Syria, by contrast, have a very poor away record and have lost eight of their last nine away friendlies. Our pick is therefore a Jordan win. Expected score: 2-0.
