Вэлью, иди сюда!

Millwall manager Ian Holloway has said the club are not interested in a cup run and Championship survival is the main priority. They missing January signings Paris Cowan-Hall, Dan Harding, Stefan Maierhofer and Shaun Cummings who are all unavailable as they were not signed in time for the original tie. Also right-back Carlos Edwards and Nicky Bailey are long-term injury absentees, while Shaun Williams is suspended.

JORDAN'S football governing body (JFA) claim that their star player Ahmed Hayel suffered a ''semi-coma and hypothermia'' after a botched drugs test.

The striker potentially faces a four-year ban under WADA's new rules, for failing to provide a sample after their loss to Iraq on Monday.

Hayel looks set to miss Friday's crucial Group D game against Palestine at AAMI Park, pending a formal appeal lodged by the JFA.

''Ahmad Hayel arrived to the hotel after the doping test suffering from polar, semi-coma, general weakness, and hypothermia,'' the JFA said in a statement.

''After investigating with the player and the Jordanian team's medical officer, the following was reported:

''Doping control room was too cold. The player was given water to drink for four hours (only water without any liquids containing salts or electrolytes).

''The player remained at the doping room for hours after the match and he was very tired. Ahmad Hayel ended up vomiting at the doping room with no medical care presence from the AFC and no ambulance provided or even called for the player. He was in a semi-coma status suffering low blood pressure, and at the end the player was sent to the hotel by a car and not with an ambulance and carried to his room on a wheelchair while unconscious.''

Osasuna are facing many missings because of their international players but this time los rojillos have another
important missing to cope with. Oier, Loties are long term on the sidelines, while Nekounam, Ansarifard,
Cedrick, Camaduro and Raoul Loé are missing in the Africa and Asia Cups.
Keeper Santamaría should be ready for the game after losing the draw in Huelva with amigdalitis,
while striker Ownu remains a serious doubt, still doesn't training properly.
The new missing has to do with Sisino who is suspended. 'Sisi' is a notable missing cause
he had already changed his position to cover in the left back and now
Jon Echaide seems to be the only reasonable replacement for him. Mister Urban will have many problems composing his XI here.

Bordeaux missing key players, especially in midfield!!!

Bordeaux without defenders Sane (10 apps) and IIori (5 apps), midfielders Abdou Traore (9 apps), Khazri (18 apps/5 goals), Poko (7 apps) and Maurice Belay (16 apps), strikers Saivet (5 apps) and Diabate (15 apps/8 goals).

Palestine Form: LWLDL
Jordan Form: LLLLL

Previous Matchday: Palestine fell 4-0 to defending champions Japan in predictable fashion. An early goal, the result of a lack of concentration set the tone for the Blue Samurai and a soft penalty put them up 3-0 before the break. Palestine played a more composed game in the second half but the damage was already done.

Jordan played a nervy encounter against Iraq with both teams knowing that a loss in this match would represent a knockout blow to any quarterfinal hopes. Jordan's compact shape frustrated the Iraqis who had to wait until the 74th minute to find a breakthrough. Jordan's attacking struggles continued with the team managing a meager three shots on goal over the 90 minutes. Things would go bad to worse for the Nashama with Anas Bani Yaseen being sent off for a second bookable offence with six minutes to play.

Absences

Palestine and Jordan will be without key defensive pieces in Ahmed Harbi and Anas Bani Yaseen, their suspensions will test squad depth.

Ahmed El-Hassan will replace Harbi with Tamer Salah a surprise inclusion in the final squad.

Jordan manager, Ray Wilkins is a little less clear with the six listed defenders all starting the match against Iraq.

Jordan will be without the services of the prolific Ahmed Hayel. The striker was unable to take part in a mandatory drug test and will be suspended as a result.

Palestine will officially miss the services of Alexis Norambuena with fullback suffering a recurrence of his ACL strain.

Prematch Press Conference

Ahmed El-Hassan confirmed the absence of Alexis Norambuena through injury. When asked about why additional players hadn't been called up he stated "I'm fine with players at my disposal I do not see a need to bring anyone else."

Abdelatif Bahdari Was quizzed about playing against so many Al-Wehdat temmates. With a grin in his face Bahdari stated "I'll play against seven of my friends, I know them and hopefully I'll be able to put in a performance that delivers us a win."

The Jordanian contingent provided more color in their press conference. Odai Al-Saify was disappointed to hear Jibril Rajoub comments regarding Ray Wilkins position.

For his part, Ray Wilkins didn't really answer any questions put forth to him. He stated that he loved life.

Other highlights:

"My mum thinks I'm gorgeous, she's the only one."

"I'm alive, I'm breathing fresh air. Listen, I love football. No one hates losing more than I do."

My main takeaway from the press conference is that Jordan seems to be a team in dissaray. Palestine are the more confident bunch and for all of Wilkins's expertise dealing with the media he really misread the temprature of the room- perhaps that had something to do with the alcohol more than one reporter smelled on his breath.

Tactics

The question coming into this match is whether or not Jordan have a Plan B. The ideas Ray Wilkins has tried to implement have clearly not worked. Under Adnan Hamed, Jordan were perhaps the best counterattacking side in Asia. Their ability to turn defence into attack helped them beat the likes of Australia and Japan. The countless encounters Jordan had with Iraq also ended in favor of the Nashama on most occasions.

Even under the maligned Hossam Hasan the team continued their positive play; as they made easy work of their qualifying group.

Wilkins has had no success with this team. With only two points secured out of a possible 30. He has dropped the past five matches and his team has only managed to score once in those matches. The only positive for Jordan? They are pretty hard to score against.

Contrary to perception Palestine did try to attack Japan. They had a respectable 75% successful pass rate and won 16 of the 18 tackles they went into.

Both teams will have to open up of they are to have any chance of winning this game. Jordan will be without their main goal getter in Ahmed Hayel. In many ways tactics won't play a big part in this one as the teams are so evenly matched and will cancel each other out with theie two defensive midfielders.

That said, in terms of intangibles Palestine have the upper hand and should be able to exploit that.

Prediction:
Palestine 2:0 Jordan

xpr, Привет ТС. Давно уже слежу за темой и у меня вопрос - ты в основном играешь догов, не было мысли торговать прематч на Бетфейр - кэфы ты берёшь высокие и если прогнозы правильные, то заработок должен быть приличным при проставлении заранее. Или ты играешь только в конторах и на бирже не торгуешь?

историческая победа Палестины, казалось такой близкой, после перекладины на 3 минуте.. и пенку позже могли дать, но не дали..

Roma without regular midfielders De Rossi (13 apps/1 goal) and Nainggolan (17 apps/3 goals) who are both suspended, while Keita (14 apps/1 goal) is involved in African Cup of Nations as well as key winger Gervinho (14 apps/2 goals). Also defenders Balzaretti, Torosidis (9 apps/1 goal) and Castan (1 app) are all out injured, while important Manolas (15 apps) is a doubt.
