Prediction Jordan vs Mali 2025 – Betting Tips for the Friendly International on 18/11/2025

Match context and immediate form

Amman will host an intriguing friendly on 18 November as Jordan welcome Mali to the King Abdullah International Stadium. On paper this is a classic warm-up clash: Jordan search for consistency at home after a mixed run of results, while Mali arrive with confidence from a string of convincing wins. Jordan’s recent results read like a rollercoaster—a narrow 3-2 defeat to Tunisia on 14 November was their latest outing, adding to earlier reversals against Albania and Bolivia, but the squad has shown it can find the net, with two-goal displays and a 3-0 win over the Dominican Republic earlier in the cycle. Mali, meanwhile, arrive with an attacking edge: 4-1 against Madagascar and 3-0 versus Comoros underline a side in good rhythm. Their recent form shows far more wins than losses, pointing to momentum that could be decisive in a neutral-style friendly.

Statistical snapshot and what it tells us

Jordan’s home numbers suggest they are capable defensively in front of their own fans—goals conceded at home are low in the sample provided—yet their away defensive ledger looks worryingly porous. Jordan’s recent scoring ability has been evident but uneven. Mali’s latest string of results indicate a team that can both score freely and dominate tempo, and their attacking output in qualifying and group matches suggests they will not be short of chances. While head-to-head history is not available, the contrast in current form is the clearest narrative: Jordan inconsistent, Mali consistent.

How both teams might approach the friendly

Expect Jordan to use the game to shore up defensive frailties and to test combinations ahead of more competitive fixtures; friendlies often bring rotation and tactical experiments. Mali, buoyed by attacking returns in recent competitive fixtures, will likely keep a forward-thinking approach, probing from the outset to build rhythm. The setup of this encounter—the late-November timing and neutral friendly atmosphere—favours open play and opportunity creation, which benefits the side in better recent form.

Betting suggestion: Based on form and attacking signs from Mali, the strongest single-market pick here is a 1X2 away win for Mali. They bring superior recent results and clearer attacking momentum, and while Jordan can score at home, Mali look likeliest to take the initiative and secure victory in Amman.
