On the other hand, Jordan are on a good run of form, winning their last five matches in all competitions. While they are still someway behind the Spaniards in terms of quality on the pitch, they can yet take a lot of confidence from their recent impressive run.

Even though Thursday’s match might be the last time Spain will be playing a warm-up fixture before the World Cup, Luis Enrique will still be mindful of not overusing his main team. The last thing he would want is injuries to his main stars, thus a new-look Spanish side might take to the pitch on Thursday. This could be an opportunity for a lot of fringe players to earn their place in the squad. As for Jordan, this will be their final fixture of this calendar year, hence they would want to end 2022 on a high. Thereby, they could very well go with their strongest possible lineup.
Jordan possible line-up: Laila, Al-Zoubi, Hashish, Obaid, Yassin, Samir, Al-Hourani, Al-Rawabdeh, Olwan, Al-Naimat, Al-Dardour
Spain possible line-up: Sanchez, Garcia, Guillamon, Torres, Gaya, Rodri, Soler, Gavi, Pino, Olmo, Morata
