Austria vs Jordan World Cup Tips, Prediction & Live Stream
Austria are tipped to get their World Cup 2026 campaign off to a winning start when they come up against tournament debutants Jordan on Tuesday night at Levi's Stadium.
Coming off an impressive Euro 2024 and World Cup qualifying campaign, Austria will be confident of doing damage in their first appearance at this competition since 1998. Managed by Ralf Rangwick and led by Dortmund star Marcel Sabitzer, Austria are capable of doing damage at this World Cup and they should be able to secure all three points in their opening game here.
Jordan are making their first ever appearance at the World Cup, benefitting from the expanded 48-nation competition. They earned their place with eight wins during Asian qualifying, but Jordan haven't been able to win a match so far in 2026, losing their last two games by a combined 6-1 score against Switzerland and Colombia.
There's been a few shocks this World Cup, but I can't see anything outside of the ordinary happening here. Austria low-key are a good chance for the R16 and beyond and I'm backing them to win with a clean sheet and room to spare - throw in Sabitzer to continue his red-hot goalscoring form for his country.

Austria Form Analysis
Austria arrive at this World Cup hugely confident and hopeful of securing their first knockout appearance for the first time since 1958.
Das Team topped their Euro 2024 qualifying group that featured the likes of France, Netherlands and Poland, underlying their quality and potential.
Ralf Rangwick's side then won six of their eight games during qualifying to return to the World Cup for the first time in 28 years. Austria defeated fellow World Cup nations Ghana, Tunisia and South Korea in their warm-up games and will fancy themselves to continue that strong form here.

A front four of Romano Schmid, Marcel Sabitzer, Gregoritsch and Marko Arnautovic is expected to feature for Austria, with Christoph Baumgartner ruled out with injury ahead of the tournament.
Sabitzer has scored in his last three friendlies.

Jordan Form Analysis
Eight wins in Asian qualifying was enough for Jordan to secure a spot at their first ever World Cup.
However, they've landed in a tough group with reigning champions Argentina and a very good Algerian side, along with Austria.
With poor form in the lead-up, it's tough to see Jamal Sellami's side making an impact, with Jordan going down 4-1 to Switzerland and 2-0 to Colombia ahead of the tournament.
Jordan Team News
Ali Olwan was Jordan's top scorer with nine during qualifying and should start up front.
Yazan Al Naimat also scored eight goals in qualifying, but was ruled out injured in a big blow ahead of the World Cup.
Musa Al-Taamari is captain and one of only two players in the squad to play his club football in Europe.
