Appearing at this stage of the AFC Asian Qualifiers for the first time, victories in their last two matches have pulled Palestine back in the running for the playoffs, which will offer an additional two tickets to next year's Finals to be hosted by Canada, Mexico and the United States.

 

Head coach Ihab Abujazar applauded his players after the win against Kuwait on Thursday and will expect another rousing performance from his charges.

Oman's hopes of automatic qualification were dashed by a rampant Jordan, who cruised to a 3-0 win on Thursday but head coach Rasheed Jabar was quick to urge his players to shift their focus to Tuesday's encounter.

 

"We still have a chance to qualify via the playoffs and we must now concentrate on getting ready for Palestine," said Jabar, with Oman seeking an inaugural appearance at the FIFA World Cup Finals.

Venue: King Abdullah II Stadium (Amman)

Kick-off: Tuesday, 21:15 (UTC+3)
