PALESTINE PREVIEW: PALESTINE HOLD ON FOR PRICELESS POINT IN SEOUL
Palestine put in a superb defensive showing to shut out Korea Republic away from home and come away with a 0-0 draw. Most expected Korea Republic, especially on home turf to comfortably emerge victorious and perhaps they should have, with 76% possession and a whopping 16 shots on goal. However, they could not find a way past a resolute Palestine.
Momentum can prove a huge leveller in football and if Palestine defend as well as they did last time out and they’ll see no reason why they can’t go one step further and grab a win against Jordan in Kuala Lumper.
JORDAN PREVIEW: LATE SPOT KICK FORCES JORDAN TO SETTLE FOR DRAW
It looked like Jordan were all set for three points to open up their round three group stage campaign against Kuwait, but a late twist saw them left disconsolate come full time. With the score at 1-0, a penalty awarded to Kuwait two minutes into second half stoppage time was converted, levelling things and leaving both sides with a point.
For Jordan, the onus is on them to close games out, especially when taking the lead. Whether that be by shutting things down defensively, or going on to add more goals, giving the opposition no chance of coming back.

PALESTINE VS JORDAN PREDICTION
Goals across the entirety of Group B has been hard to come by so far with the first round of group stage fixtures having seen under 2.5 goals scored in all three games. The stakes remain extremely high in this qualification group matches with every point absolutely vital. It would be no surprise to see both these sides prioritise defensive stability and not take many risks.
Therefore, a cagey affair may well be on the cards and chances could be few and far between, so the shrewd move to make would be backing another contest in Group B that sees under 2.5 goals scored over the course of 90 minutes.
