  • The 13th round of the Jordanian Pro League kicks off amid a heated title race, with all eyes on the "North Derby" between Al-Ramtha and Al-Hussein Irbid, a match likely to shake up the competition for the top spot.

Al-Faisaly enters the round leading the table with 29 points but faces direct pressure from Al-Ramtha (28 points) and Al-Hussein Irbid (27 points), making any slip-up costly, especially after their draw against Al-Ramtha in the previous round.

The round opens with a key clash between Al-Faisaly and Shabab Al-Ordon, as the Blues aim to maintain their lead without leaving their fate to the North Derby, while Shabab Al-Ordon seeks to continue their positive momentum following a notable win over Al-Wehdat.

The highlight of the round takes place at Al-Hassan Stadium in Irbid, where Al-Ramtha meets Al-Hussein Irbid in the "North Derby," a match with everything at stake—victory could put either side on top, while a draw favors Al-Faisaly.

The round continues with other crucial fixtures affecting mid- and lower-table positions, including Al-Wehdat vs. Al-Ahli and Al-Salt vs. Al-Baqa’a, as teams fight for points to strengthen their standing and avoid slipping further.

With the top teams separated by narrow margins, Round 13 is shaping up as a decisive stage in the league, potentially defining the true title race in the remaining matches.
