Saudi Arabia vs Jordan Preview

• Tournament: FIFA International Friendly

• Venue: Al-Ettifaq Club Stadium, Dammam

Saudi Arabia look to maintain their unbeaten run in 2025 when they host a spirited Jordan side at the Al-Ettifaq Club Stadium in their next FIFA international friendly. The Saudi Arabia vs Jordan clash will take place on Friday, 30 May 2025.

For Saudi Arabia, this upcoming game will be like a warm up for their next 2026 FIFA World Cup qualfiication matches in June. They have won three of their last five competitive matches, which includes their 0-0 draw against Japan in their last game, something that helped them climb up to 58th in the FIFA World Rankings.

Herve Renard will be aiming to ensure that his side can pick up their momentum after the recent break and his players are able to implement his style perfectly. He will need them to be defensively secure to frustrate the visitors, but the Saudi Arabian players will be particularly demanded to play incisive attacking football to put on a show for their fans.

Jordan heads into this match with just one win in their last four international matches in 2025. They did, however, hold South Korea to an impressive draw in their previous game and that result also helped them move up to the 62nd spot in the FIFA World Rankings.

Jamal Sellami, however, has a big task ahead if he wants his side to get a positive result against a strong Saudi Arabia side at their home. They will have to be extremely sturdy defensively and maintain a compact shape, as well as having to be ruthless in the set-pieces or counter-attacks to get a positive result away.

Key Players to Watch in Saudi Arabia vs Jordan

Salem Al-Dawsari (Saudi Arabia)

Salem Al-Dawsari is coming off an impressive Saudi Pro League campaign with Al Hilal in which he scored 15 goals for them. He managed a 18% goal conversion for them, and has 24 goals in 92 appearances in his international career for Saudi Arabia.

Al-Dawsari will be aiming to maintain his impressive momentum by producing a clinical performance in this friendly game. He will be looking to orchestrate things for his side's attack with his speedy movement and tricekry on the wide areas and get at the end of chances to clinically put them away and give his side a major boost.

Mousa Al-Taamari (Jordan)

Mousa Al-Taamari has been doing his country proud with his performances for Rennes in Ligue 1, as he slightly underperformed his 4.95 xG (expected goals) with three goals in the French top division in the 2024/25 season.

The 27-year-old winger needs to be at his best for Jordan to have a chance of defeating Saudi Arabia once again. He will need to be smart with his movement and delivery from the wide areas to disrupt the Saudi Arabia backline, and needs to be efficient with his finishing to give his side that extra edge.

Saudi Arabia vs Jordan Prediction

Even though this is going to be a friendly match between these two Asian giants, it will be a pretty tightly-fought affair because of the two sets of players aiming to improve their momentum ahead of their next World Cup qualification matches.

Saudi Arabia might be slightly weakened by the absence of some players, but they will take the fight to Jordan by pouring men forward and testing their defensive resolve. This should end up being a hard-fought draw between the two sides.

Prediction: Saudi Arabia 1-1 Jordan
