Austria vs Jordan Preview - Austria backed for comfortable World Cup win
Austria enter this match brimming with confidence, having topped their World Cup qualifying group and winning nine of their last eleven outings, including a string of victories to nil. Jordan, meanwhile, are new to the tournament stage and come off two recent heavy defeats. Key recommendations are to back Austria for a win to nil and consider Marcel Sabitzer in the goalscorer markets, given his hot streak. Austria are the clear favorites, with superior form, squad quality, and recent results.
- Austria have won 9 of last 11 matches and look in top form.
- Jordan debut at World Cup with recent poor results.
- Prediction: Austria win to nil; Sabitzer a key goalscorer.

Austria Form
Austria had a great run in the World Cup 2026 qualifiers, topping Group H with 19 out of possible 24 points ahead of Bosnia & Herzegovina, Romania, Cyprus and San Marino with a 22-4 goal difference.
Their performances and results were fantastic in March friendlies too, starting with a 5-1 victory against Ghana (allowed just one shot on target), followed by a 1-0 win over South Korea a couple of days later (Marcel Sabitzer the sole scorer).
Austrians opted for just one test game before the World Cup 2026, locking horns against Tunisia. Even though their Konrad Laimer was sent off in the first half, Austria won here 1-0, Sabitzer finding the net once again.
Jordan Form
Four victories, four draws and two defeats in the Asian WC Qualifiers were enough for Jordan to finish second in Group B and secure their first ever appearance at the final tournament.
After making it to the FIFA Arab Cup finals where they lost to Morocco 3-2 in extra-time in December, they played two friendlies against Costa Rica and Nigeria in March, both clashes ending in 2-2 draws.
Their last two test games earlier this month were poor though, suffering back to back defeats against Switzerland 4-1 and Colombia 2-0. Odeh Al Fakhouri was the sole scorer.

Austria (4-2-3-1) Alexander Schlager; Stefan Posch, Philipp Lienhart, David Alaba, Romano Schmid; Xaver Schlager, Nicolas Seiwald; Konrad Laimer, Marcel Sabitzer, Michael Gregoritsch; Marko Arnautovic
Christoph Baumgartner suffered a thigh injury recently and will miss the tournament completely. Maximilian Wober didn't make it to the final cut even though he played both March friendlies.

Ali Olwan is expected to be the biggest attacking threat here, netting 29 goals in 66 appearances for the national team so far. Jordan have no reported injuries ahead of this match.
Verdict
Austria's form has been outstanding this year, so a win to nil carries value as does Macel Sabitzer in the goal scoring markets.
