Iraq vs. Jordan (Monday, 11.30am)
For the first time since 2015, Iraq and Jordan will battle each other at the Asian Cup, this time in the round of 16 on Monday at Khalifa International Stadium.
A late penalty on matchday three gave Iraq a 3-2 victory over Vietnam, as they topped Group D above Japan, while the Jordanians lost their previous match 1-0 to Bahrain but still advanced as one of the best third-place teams with four points.
We say: Iraq 2-1 Jordan
The Lions of Mesopotamia will be brimming with confidence after their group performances, and we believe their attacking quality will overpower Jordan and send them into the quarter-finals for the first time since 2015.

Qatar vs. Palestine (Monday, 4.00pm)
In their first-ever round of 16 Asian Cup fixture, Palestine will face the hosts Qatar on Monday at Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor.
The reigning champions won all three of their group fixtures, including a 1-0 triumph versus China on matchday three, while the Palestinians came away with a 3-0 win over Hong Kong to claim one of the four best third-place spots.
We say: Qatar 1-0 Palestine
Qatar looked compact and comfortable at the back throughout the group stage, and we believe they will squeak past a highly motivated Palestinian side who give up their share of scoring opportunities.
