Jordan vs Venezuela Prediction

Jordan host Venezuela in a friendly on 6 October 2026 at 20:00 at King Abdullah II Stadium in Amman. The match serves as preparation for Jordan ahead of the 2027 AFC Asian Cup under new coach Badou Zaki, who took charge in July. Venezuela continue their squad rebuild under Oswaldo Vizcarrondo, leaving out established names like Salomón Rondón and Yeferson Soteldo in favour of younger players.

Jordan drew 1-1 with Syria on 27 September through Ali Olwan's first-half goal, but have not won in five matches. They remain winless under Zaki and face a fresh defensive problem: goalkeeper Alec Smir suffered a partial tear of the medial collateral ligament in his knee and has left camp, handing the gloves to Yazeed Abulaila. Jordan have scored in four straight games but conceded in all five of their latest fixtures and have not kept a clean sheet during this run.

Venezuela held South Korea to a goalless draw on 2 October, registering 12 attempts and four shots on target. Vizcarrondo's side have kept three clean sheets in their last five matches and conceded only four goals across that span. The visitors arrive with a settled defensive unit built around Yangel Herrera and Cristian Cásseres Jr. in midfield, with Jon Aramburu and Nahuel Ferraresi providing experience at the back.

Form and H2H

Jordan have won one of their last ten matches, drawing four and losing five, averaging 1.18 goals for and 2.16 against. Venezuela have won three of their last ten, drawn two and lost five, averaging 1.28 goals for and 1.46 against. The teams have no previous senior head-to-head record.

Best bet

Back Venezuela to win. The visitors have shown greater defensive stability under Vizcarrondo, keeping clean sheets in three of their last five matches while remaining compact and organised. Jordan are still adapting to life under Zaki and have conceded in every match during their current run. The injury to Smir forces another change in Jordan's backline at a moment when the team is searching for its first win in this new phase. Venezuela's midfield quality and defensive structure give them the edge to exploit spaces in transition. Take Venezuela at 2.5 with 1Win or 3.18 with 1xBet.
