Tunisia and Jordan face off again this week, and even if it’s “just” a friendly, both sides will definitely want to show something. Tunisia are trying to rebuild a bit of confidence and sharpness, while Jordan are still riding the energy from their recent improvements in international football. This one might be tighter than most people expect.
Form Guide
Tunisia
Tunisia have been kinda up and down lately. They usually dominate smaller sides but sometimes struggle to break teams that sit deep. Their defensive shape is still solid, but creativity in the final third hasn’t always clicked. At home or on neutral ground, though, they’re usually calm and composed.
Jordan
Jordan come into this game feeling bold. They’ve had some good performances recently, especially against teams stronger on paper. The team looks more organised, they counter well, and they’ve got a bit of confidence in key attacking players. They’re not a walkover anymore.
Head-to-Head (H2H)
Tunisia have generally had the better record over Jordan in past meetings. Usually, they control possession and pick their moments. Jordan, though, have kept games competitive on a few occasions, especially when they lean into high energy and quick transitions. Not a huge rivalry, but the matchups are always lively.
Team News
Tunisia Team News
Tunisia are likely rotating the squad a little. A couple of regular starters might be rested. Still, the spine should remain strong—expect the usual solid defensive pair and a midfield built for control. Wide areas might see new faces.
Jordan Team News
Jordan are expected to field something close to a full-strength lineup. They’ve got no major injury concerns reported ahead of the match. Their main striker and the most in-form winger are both available, which is a big plus for their counterattacking approach.
Probable Lineups
Tunisia (Predicted XI)
GK: Dahmen
DEF: Kechrida, Meriah, Talbi, Maaloul

MID: Al-Naimat, Samir, Mahmoud, Al-Mardi

Players to Watch
Tunisia – Youssef Msakni
The captain is always a threat. If he gets space, Tunisia’s attack runs smoother. His linkup play could open Jordan apart.
Jordan – Musa Al-Taamari
Fast, tricky, and fearless. If Jordan are going to hurt Tunisia, it’ll prob come from him catching defenders off balance.
Prediction
This feels like a slightly cagey game at first, but Tunisia’s experience should edge it. Jordan will have their moments, especially on the break, but Tunisia have more quality to finish their chances.
Prediction: Tunisia 2–1 Jordan
