Draw – 3.99
South Korea – 1.48
Jordan
For their fans, Jordan are already heroes: for the first time in their history they got this far at the Asian Cup.
Some would say Jordan were lucky. Thanks to the new system where best third-placed teams also qualify for the playoffs, they got to the last 16. Then, in the knockouts, they faced Iran and Tajikistan who weren't the strongest possible opponents.
But luck smiles on the prepared, as we all know. And Jordan fans are now holding their breath hoping to see yet another miracle.
South Korea
Jurgen Klinsmann's side got to the semi-finals and that journey was hard. The only game they won with ease was the campaign opener against Bahrain.
In matches against Jordan, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia and Australia, Korea were saved by extra-time goals. Games like these are exciting for neutral fans but Korea supporters probably need to keep their heart pills close.
Jordan vs South Korea: Facts to know
South Korea have been undefeated in 13 consecutive games.
In each of their last four games, goals were scored in extra-time.
Jordan have scored in seven out of their last eight games.

Jordan vs South Korea: Predictions and betting odds
