The two sides enter the match level on four points each. Amman top the table on goal difference from Harthaa. The match carries significant weight in the title race, as a win would give the victors sole possession of first place and boost their chances before the first half of the season ends.
Amman are looking to continue their strong performances and positive results, after a standout spell in which they made a perfect start to the season, winning the Super Cup and the Jordan Cup against Harthaa. They are aiming to stay in the title race and keep the league trophy in their cabinet. The team hopes to use the good mood among its players to secure another win that brings them closer to a successful campaign.
Amman are coached by Mohammad Fadel, and their key players include goalkeeper Mira Al-Qamoh, Tamara Khalifat, Fatin Al-Hamayda, Aisha Al-Majali and young player Ghazal Obeidat.
Harthaa, coached by Muwaffaq Fathallah, are looking to put things right and regain their balance after losing the Super Cup and Jordan Cup finals to Amman. They aim to restore their pride and win today, to strengthen their hopes of competing for top spot and reclaiming the league title, which has been absent from their trophy cabinet for about three seasons, as well as reconnecting with their fans and returning to the podium.
Harthaa's key players include Sham Al-Damen in goal, captain Falak Obeidat, Ghasaq Obeidat, Heba Obeidat, Rétaj Obeidat, and Syrian player Lin Sutouf, who has been a standout addition to the side.
Amman opened their campaign with a comfortable 33-8 win over Kafr Soum, while Harthaa beat the same team 34-18, with both sides showing they are ready to compete for the title. The two teams now meet in a match of added importance for the table and tactical calculations.
The current edition of the women's handball league features only three clubs, Amman, Harthaa and Kafr Soum, for the first time in the sport's history, following the withdrawal of Shabab Al-Salt and Petra teams.
