/root/Desktop/match/jars/match-five.jar -> /root/Desktop/match/jars/44a65820/match-five-44a65820.jar
/root/Desktop/match/jars/match-four.jar -> /root/Desktop/match/jars/44a65820/match-four-44a65820.jar
/root/Desktop/match/jars/match-one.jar ->  /root/Desktop/match/jars/44a65820/match-one-44a65820.jar
/root/Desktop/match/jars/match-three.jar -> /root/Desktop/match/jars/44a65820/match-three-44a65820.jar
/root/Desktop/match/jars/match-two.jar -> /root/Desktop/match/jars/44a65820/match-two-44a65820.jar
root/Desktop/match/jars/match-six.jar -> /root/Desktop/match/jars/44a65820/match-six-44a65820.jar

Use parameter expansion to strip prefix and suffix.

for f in /root/Desktop/match/jars/44a65820/*; do
  link="${f%-44a65820.jar}.jar";
  ln -s "$f" "/root/Desktop/match/jars/${link##*/}";
done
