After landing here, the Jordan team was immediately whisked away to their hotel in South Goa.

Al Wehdat is currently at the second position in group D with six points. They would be practicing tomorrow at Cansaulim grounds.

Speaking to reporters after landing at the airport, Al Wehdat coach Branco Smiljanic said, "It's too early to say anything now, we have just arrived after a long flight. We would like to rest and get acclimatised to the weather."

Branco was Jordan's first AFC Cup winning coach when they won the coveted title in 2002 with rival club Al-Faisaly.

Al Wehdat has brought the same squad which played in the last match.

Al Wehdat has as many as five national players and are also competing in the Group 2 of the preliminaries of Asian quota for the FIFA World Cup in Brazil in 2014.

Salgaocar, who has one point from three outings, said it had learnt from their mistakes and would be hoping to win against the visitors on Tuesday.
