Austria is the much better-ranked team than Jordan, but we expect a close game in their Group J opener.

We have already seen the likes of Spain held to a draw, and some of the top European teams have started slowly. Teams much better than Austria, so if Jordan can play to their best level, they could hold on for a draw.

Jordan could continue the good form from Middle Eastern teams, including Qatar and Saudi Arabia, and their qualifying form was solid. They scored a 3-0 win over Oman, and Ali Olwan has stood out for them with five goals from his last four games.

Punters get a healthy $5 for a draw, and we predict a 1-1 draw. Jordan has enough firepower to handle Austria, which has a solid team without being amazing, so the $1.30 odds for Austria are far too short for our liking.

Same Game Multi Bet

Jordan +2, Ali Olwan Goal or Assist, Both Teams to Score (Yes), Under 2.5 Goals

Olwan has six goals or assists in his last four games, and we expect him to have a big game for Jordan. He’s playing well for his nation, and punters get a massive $4.30 for him to score or assist, which is a generous price from bookmakers.

Our 1-1 score prediction would see both teams to score and under 2.5 goals cash. They are great FIFA World Cup multi bet additions, and punters get good odds.

We have the draw as our best bet, but we’re picking Jordan +2 for our multi. There is more insurance with his option, and the $1.80 odds are better than the $1.50 we priced it at.

Draws aren’t always the most exciting bet, but we can’t see much separating Austria and Jordan.

There is enough offence to see them both scoring, but we pick a deadlock at the end of 90 minutes on Wednesday afternoon.

Punters get $10 for a 1-1 draw, and it’s worth a wager.
