India vs Jordan: Match preview, prediction and TV listing
16 Nov 2018
India will be taking on Jordan at the King Abdullah II Stadium in Amman tomorrow.
And Constantine will want his team to put up a commendable shift, in the absence of India's most prolific goal-scorer, Sunil Chhetri.
Notably, Jordan are experiencing massive floods and this is why the Indian team had to wait in Kuwait for long.
Here is the match preview and prediction.
Team news from both corners
Team news
Sunil Chhetri will not be available for the match after being injured during an ISL match between Bengaluru and Kerala Blasters.
India will most likely line-up in a 4-4-2 formation with two central mid-fielders and the two wingers taking on a more attacking role.
Jordan have numerous injury concerns, and their new manager is yet to see a win after three matches in charge.
India go in as favorites
Prediction
India held a team as strong as China to a goalless draw at their own home, and it looks likely that they will put up another impressive performance against Jordan.
Constantine had himself requested for more games for India to prepare well for the upcoming AFC Asian Cup.
A solid performance tomorrow will be a step in the right direction.
