The Super Eagles<\/a> of Nigeria are set to play against Jordan at the Mardan Antalyaspor Stadium in Turkiye tomorrow, Soccernet.ng reports.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Eric Chelle’s men secured a 2-1 win over Iran last Friday, with Moses Simon and Akor Adams sharing the goalscoring responsibility in Victor Osimhen’s absence.<\/p>\n

Jordan, on the other hand, played a 2-2 draw against Costa Rica, bottling a two-goal lead as the Costa Ricans came from behind to overturn the deficit.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the meeting between Al Nashama and the Super Eagles, Soccernet.ng<\/strong> highlights three Jordanian threats Nigeria must look out for.<\/p>\n

1. Baha’ Faisal<\/h3>\n

The Al-Waab SC striker has scored 15 goals in 49 appearances for Jordan since making his debut in 2016. The 30-year-old also found the back of the net against Costa Rica on Friday, beating Patrick Sequeria from twelve yards.<\/p>\n

Faisal is the perfect description of \u2018Fox in the box’, as he comes alive in the 18-yard box with a goal sense that the Super Eagles have to be wary of.<\/p>\n

2. Odeh Al-Fakhouri<\/h3>\n

The young Jordanian winger plies his trade with Egyptian side Pyramids FC. At only 20, Al-Fakhouri possesses immense raw pace that could be used to exploit the Nigerian defence on either side.<\/p>\n

Al-Fakhouri is also capable of whipping in dangerous crosses into the box for Faisal to head, and he will be one to watch tomorrow evening.<\/p>\n

3. Ibrahim Sabra<\/h3>\n

On loan from the Turkish side, Goztepe, the NK Lokomotiva striker came off the bench to score against Costa Rica.<\/p>\n

Like Al-Fakhouri, Sabra is only 20-years-old, but he looks set to lead the line for the Jordanians as Faisal gets older, and has proven to be a reliable weapon off the bench.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
