Jordan need a point to secure their spot in the 2023 Asian Cup knockouts as they face Bahrain in their final Group E game at the Khalifa International Stadium on Thursday.
The 2-2 draw with South Korea last Saturday pitted the Chivalrous Ones atop the cluster, but just a point above Bahrain.
As such, following a 1-0 win over Malaysia, the Pearl Divers would be looking for a win to confirm a top-two finish in the group.
Here GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.
