Jordan and Syria will face off in a friendly at the King Abdullah II Stadium on Friday (September 23).
The hosts will return to international action following their 3-0 home win against Kuwait in a third round qualifier for the Asia Cup in June. Three men got on the scoresheet for The Chivalrous Ones.
Syria, meanwhile, triumphed over Tajikistan in a friendly in June. Omar Al Somah's 16th-minute strike helped the Qasioun Eagles claim a 1-0 victory.
Manager Hussam Al Sayed has called up 23 players to dispute the friendly against Jordan. His squad is headlined by captain Omar al Somah, as well as other experienced stalwarts, like Mahmoud Al-Mawas and Omar Midani.
Thursday's fixture is the only friendly arranged for both teams in the ongoing international break. They will use the game to continue their preparations for their return to competitive action next year.

Jordan vs Syria Prediction
Jordan have been the more consistent team and also have home advantage in their favour. Syria, for their part, are also in a confident mood, having won two and drawn one of their last three games.
Both teams are relatively compact in their style and are likely to play cautiously. That means goalscoring opportunities might be hard to come by in a low-scoring game. Jordan should claim a narrow victory and also keep a clean sheet.
