DOHA, Qatar (Interstat) — A spot in the next round of the Cup in Jordan is on the line Monday as Al Arabi hosts Al Hashemiyah SCSC in an early tournament fixture.

The match, scheduled for Oct. 20, 2025, pits the Qatari side against its Jordanian opponent with both clubs seeking their first victory in this year’s competition. Official records for the 2025 season across all tournaments for both teams are not yet available, leaving their current form a mystery.

Al Arabi will look to rebound from a disappointing result in its last documented match, a 2-0 home defeat to Al Hussein on Dec. 14, 2024. That match, played nearly 10 months prior, offers the only recent glimpse into the club’s performance. No recent result for Al Hashemiyah SCSC is available.

Despite Al Arabi holding the home-field advantage, a statistical projection from Interstat forecasts a narrow victory for the visitors, predicting a 1-0 final score in favor of Al Hashemiyah SCSC. This sets up a compelling clash between Al Arabi’s desire to capitalize on playing at home and the simulated underdog status of the visiting squad.

Kickoff is set for Monday evening local time at Al Arabi’s home stadium. The winner will gain crucial early momentum in the Jordanian cup tournament.
