Iraq and Jordan will face off at the Khalifa International Stadium in the Asian Cup last 16 on 29 January.
Here is how bookies rate their chances to win (odds powered by Betobet):
Iraq – 2.15
Draw – 3.09
Jordan – 3.55
Iraq
Iraq were expected to qualify for the playoffs but the way they did it was surprising. Together with Qatar and Iran, they are among the only three sides that won all three group-stage games. It's quite likely that they can reach the semi-finals.
Jordan
Jordan were close to finishing on top of their group but their defeat against Bahrain dropped them to the third place.
In the last 16, Jordan will be looking to bounce back from the defeat and show their real strength. However, Iraq are a tough nut to crack.

Iraq vs Jordan: Prediction and betting tips
Iraq are looking more confident than their opponents, both in terms of points gained at the group stage and their performance on the pitch.
We expect them to fully capitalise on the fact that their opponent looks weaker and not take the game to extra time. Aymen Hussein is in great shape and should help his side get the job done in 90 minutes.
