Jordan’s top football clubs, Wehdat and Faisaly, have wrapped up their final tactical and technical preparations with full focus ahead of the much-anticipated derby on Saturday at Amman International Stadium. The clash carries the intensity of a “cup final,” as it marks the conclusion of the 22nd round of the Jordanian Pro League.

More than a traditional rivalry, this match represents the last real chance for both sides to maintain their title hopes. Current league leaders Al-Hussein hold the advantage, making a win essential for either team to boost their standings and stay in the hunt until the final whistle.

Faisaly’s coaching staff held their last training session behind closed doors to protect tactical plans and maintain focus, while Wehdat enter the game with a fully fit squad, giving coach Jamal Mahmoud tactical flexibility.

Expected Wehdat Lineup (5-4-1): Abdullah Al-Fakhouri; Mustafa Muawad, Daniel Afaneh, Arafat Al-Haj, Shawqi Al-Qaz’a, Wajdi Nabhan, Ahmed Thaer, Mohammed Rateb Al-Dawood, Anas Al-Awdat, Muhannad Samrin, Mohammed Muwali.

Faisaly face some uncertainties, with star Ahmed Al-Arsan fit to play, while striker Mohammed Qassem Hammadi and Scottish professional Erwin remain sidelined. The team is expected to line up in a balanced 5-3-2 formation.

Expected Faisaly Lineup (5-3-2): Nour Bani Atiya; Hossam Abu Al-Dhahab, Muhannad Khairallah, Hadi Al-Hourani, Mohammed Kloob, Mohammed Al-Hamrouni; Fadel Haikal, Khaled Zakaria, Amin Al-Shnaina, Mohammed Al-Hallaq, Ahmed Al-Arsan.

With tight league standings—Al-Hussein lead on 43 points from 19 games, Faisaly also on 43 from 20 matches, and Wehdat third with 40 points from 21 matches—Saturday’s showdown promises to reshape the title race dramatically.
