• The two matches represent a crossroads for all sides

The 13th round of the Professional Football League enters its decisive phase, with Tuesday hosting two clashes that carry contrasting stakes: a battle for the title and a fight to avoid relegation.

All eyes will be on King Abdullah II Stadium in Al-Qweismeh and Al-Hassan International Stadium in Irbid, where the shifts in the league standings are likely to emerge.

Al-Wehdat vs. Al-Ahli – A “Last Chance” Opportunity In the fan-packed top clash at 6:30 p.m., Al-Wehdat faces a critical test to reconcile with its frustrated supporters after last round’s unexpected loss to Shabab Al-Ordon.

The “Green Giant,” led by coach Jamal Mahmoud, enters the match in fourth place with 23 points, fully aware that any further slip could end its title hopes, especially after a season marked by early Asian elimination and losing both the Super Cup and league shield.

Al-Wehdat will rely on key players like Anas Al-Awadat, Mustafa Muawad, and Muhannad Samrin to secure a morale-boosting victory ahead of the anticipated derby in the next round.

Al-Ahli, meanwhile, seeks a lifeline. Struggling at the bottom with just 5 points, coach Raed Al-Daoud hopes to exploit Al-Wehdat’s mental fatigue to snatch a positive result that keeps the “White Lion’s” hopes alive.

Al-Sarhan vs. Al-Jazeera – A Battle to Reclaim Momentum At Al-Hassan Stadium in Irbid, Al-Sarhan hosts Al-Jazeera at 4:00 p.m.

The struggling Al-Sarhan, bottom of the table with 4 points, comes into the match on a high after a 4-0 rout of Al-Ahli under coach Ibrahim Helmi. The team’s foreign trio—Rashid Shawahneh, Mohammed Sandouqah, and Hamza Mahrous—has shown advanced technical performance in the second phase of the season.

Al-Jazeera, led by Raafat Ali, aims to stop the points bleed and fix the defensive lapses that have seen them concede 12 goals in their last three matches. Sitting seventh with 12 points, the “Red Devils” seek to restore their defensive authority against the league’s lowest-scoring side in a match that leaves no room for error.

Both fixtures represent a pivotal crossroads: either a return to the winning track and a push toward the top, or a deeper dive into the complicated fight to escape the bottom of the standings.
