Captain Server Djeparov netted 10 minutes before half-time in Amman on Friday to cancel out Mus’ab Al Lahham’s 30th minute opener to put Uzbekistan in a commanding position to remain on course for a maiden FIFA World Cup appearance by advancing to November’s intercontinental play-off with South American opposition.

Kasimov, though, will be without Beijing Guoan defender Krimets while goalkeeper Ignatiy Nesterov remains sidelined following shoulder surgery meaning Murotjon Zukhurov is set to again deputise.

“I was pleased with Zukhurov in the first game and I think he will start in the match if he does not have any problems,” said Kasimov.

“Krimets, though, is out for three weeks and will not be able to play for a month.”

Uzbekistan were good value for their draw at King Abdullah International Stadium last week despite falling behind and are on course to go one step further than their appearance in the play-offs for the 2006 FIFA World Cup when the Central Asians lost on away goals to Bahrain.

“Jordan are a good team but our players are ready and we want to make our fans happy,” said former Uzbekistan international Kasimov, who played in both games against Bahrain alongside current influential midfielder Djeparov.

“We will not play for a draw, we only want to win.”

Uzbekistan earned their place in the intercontinental play-off with a third place finish in Group A despite beating Qatar 5-1 at home in June.

And while the empathic win was not enough to leapfrog second place Korea Republic to earn automatic qualification for the 2014 finals, it does mean Uzbekistan have lost just once in eight games in Tashkent during the current campaign having only suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat by Iran at the start of the final round.

“We will look to be very active in the match and try to create dangerous moments to score. We are also prepared for Jordan to use counterattacks like they did in Amman,” added Kasimov.

“We have been working hard in training on using corner kicks and free kicks as we were unable to use these situations better in the first game.”

Coach Hossam Hassan has labelled Tuesday’s 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying play-off second leg against Uzbekistan as the most important game in Jordan’s history.

Hassan is confident Jordan can bounce back to secure a place in November’s intercontinental play-off with South American opposition to remain on course for a maiden appearance at the FIFA World Cup.

“We are happy to be in Tashkent for the most important match for the Jordan national team,” said Hassan, who succeeded Adnan Hamad as coach following the completion of the final round of qualifiers in June.

“Both teams want to win, but if we play how we played in the second half in Jordan we can beat Uzbekistan.

“We will try to score a goal as soon as possible as our aim is to remain on course for the World Cup.”

Under Hamad, Jordan secured a third place finish behind Japan and Australia in Group B by posting an unbeaten home record having also defeated Oman and drawn with Iraq.

Jordan, though, lost all four away games in the final round and have failed to win in their last five games on the road during the 2014 qualifiers.

“Jordan did lose all their away games during the last round, but I was not the head coach for the previous away matches,” added Hassan, who played for Egypt at the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy.

“Our opponents are a well organised team and they had a good chance to qualify for Brazil directly from the group stage.”

Striker Odai Al Saify and midfielders Abdallah Deeb and Amer Deeb are all pushing for inclusion at Pakhtakor Stadium having made an impact as second half substitutes last week.

Hassan, though, refused to divulge any details as Jordan look to avoid a first defeat away from home since beating Singapore 3-0 during the third round.

“We have a strategy for the future,” added Hassan, who saw his side draw 1-1 with Syria in Iran during the qualifiers for the 2015 AFC Asian Cup last month which represented his first competitive game in charge following friendly wins over Libya and Palestine.

“And I decide who will start or be a substitute during the game.”
