Amman, April 14 (Petra) -- The Jordanian Professional League is delivering a dramatic finish, with both the title chase and the relegation dogfight reaching fever pitch as the competition enters its crucial final three rounds.

Recent results have thrown the league wide open, promising a series of high-stakes clashes that will keep fans on the edge of their seats. The top of the table is a two-horse race, with Al-Hussein Irbid, sitting on 46 points, fending off a relentless challenge from Al-Wehdat, trailing by just four points.

All eyes are now on Friday's showdown between Al-Wehdat and Al-Hussein, a potential title decider that's sure to pack the stands with passionate supporters.

Down at the other end of the table, the relegation battle has turned into a free-for-all. The Jordan Football Association's decision to relegate four teams, rather than two, has transformed every remaining fixture into a must-win scenario for clubs like Mughayer Al-Sarhan, Ma'an, Al-Sareeh, Shabab Al-Aqaba, Al-Ahli, and Shabab Al-Ordon.

Al-Hussein Irbid delivered a statement performance, crushing Al-Ahli 5-0 to maintain their pole position. Majdi Al-Attar set the tone early, followed by a Rizq Bani Hani double, and further goals from Youssef Abu Jalboush and Mohammed Abu Zureiq.

Al-Wehdat responded with a dominant 4-0 victory over Shabab Al-Aqaba, with Ousseynou Cisse leading the charge with a brace, supported by goals from Daniel Afana and Ibrahim Sabra.

Shabab Al-Ordon also showcased their attacking prowess, dismantling Mughayer Al-Sarhan 5-1, with a flurry of goals from Salah Eddin Farash, Khaled Essam, Malek Allan, Ayham Hisham, and Ward Al-Bari.

Al-Salt secured a crucial 1-0 away win against Al-Ramtha, while Al-Sareeh edged out Ma'an 2-0. Al-Faisaly rounded off the round with a narrow 1-0 victory over Al-Jazeera.

The league table now reads: Al-Hussein Irbid leading with 46 points, followed by Al-Wehdat (42), Al-Faisaly (32), Al-Ramtha (31), Al-Jazeera (29), Al-Salt (28), Shabab Al-Ordon (22), Al-Ahli (19), Al-Sareeh (18), Shabab Al-Aqaba (16), Ma'an (15), and Mughayer Al-Sarhan (10).
