The BetBoom match between Russia and Jordan will take place on September 4 at the Lukoil Arena in Moscow. Russia vs. Jordan: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Russia
Valery Karpin's team ended their 8-match winning streak in friendlies during the last international break. The Russians couldn't overcome Nigeria (1-1), with the conceded goal being the first during this stretch. However, in the next game, the team thrashed Belarus 4-1, with all four goals scored by Yaroslav Gladyshev. Additionally, the national team has shown good scoring ability, netting at least three goals in 9 of their last 10 friendly matches.
- Russia opened the scoring in their last 12 friendly matches.
- At home, the team has won 6 of their last 7 friendly matches (1 draw).
- At least one goal has been scored in both halves in Russia's last 8 home friendly games.
Predicted lineup for Russia (4-5-1)
Alexander Maksimenko – Alexander Silyanov, Maksim Osipenko, Igor Diveev, Danil Krugovoi – Matvey Kislyak, Ivan Oblyakov, Dmitry Barinov, Alexei Batrakov, Danil Glebov – Dmitry Vorobyov.
Jordan
This year has been very successful for the Jordanians. The team qualified for the World Cup finals for the first time in their history, becoming the first among Arab countries to do so. In February, the national team reached the final of the Asian Cup, where they lost to Qatar (1-3). However, in friendlies, the team is on a 5-match winless streak (2 draws, 3 losses). In three games during this period, Jamal Sellami's side failed to score.
- The team has not conceded more than one goal in 6 of their last 7 friendly games.
- Jordan has lost 5 of their last 6 away friendly matches (1 win).
- No more than two goals have been scored in Jordan's last 5 friendly matches.
Predicted lineup for Jordan (4-5-1)
Yazid Abu Layla – Abdallah Nassib, Mohammad Abu Hashish, Anas Badawe, Yazan Al-Arab – Mousa Al-Tamari, Rajai Ayed, Ibrahim Saadeh, Ali Olwan, Nizar Al-Rashdan – Yazan Al-Naimat.

Prediction for the BetBoom match Russia vs. Jordan
Russia is set to face some challenging opponents shortly. The Jordanians have already secured their place in the 2026 World Cup, while Qatar is just a few steps away. We are unlikely to see the kind of scores witnessed in Valery Karpin's matches against Zambia and Grenada. Jordan does not boast a particularly strong defense in friendlies, but they rarely collapse. The team hasn't conceded more than two goals in their last 8 friendly games. Interestingly, earlier this year, Jordan faced Zenit twice, who were nearly at full strength, and performed well against one of Russia's strongest clubs – 0-1, 1-1.
Russia has accustomed fans to high-scoring games, but the level of recent opponents hasn't been the highest. The thrashing of Serbia should be discounted – the Balkans conceded all goals when down a player. Against Nigeria, Valery Karpin's team scored only once.
In terms of the outcome, my preference is still with the hosts. Jordan has lost 5 of their last 6 away friendly matches, while Russia often delights fans at home. The aforementioned draw with Nigeria ended a 6-match home winning streak for Russia in friendly games.
My prediction: Russia to win and Total under 3.5 goals
