Jordan is making its World Cup debut with a severely depleted attack, missing star striker Yazan Al-Naimat and emerging talent Ibrahim Sabra due to long-term injuries.

person 3

Tactical mismatch: Austria's 64% average possession and aggressive high line will likely suffocate Jordan's low-block (3-4-3), forcing turnovers in the final third.

Injuries & Absentees

Austria suffers a major blow with the absence of Christoph Baumgartner (RB Leipzig), their most vertical midfielder, due to a thigh injury. However, the return of David Alaba stabilizes the defense. Jordan's situation is more critical; the loss of Al-Naimat and Sabra leaves Mousa Al-Tamari isolated, forcing a more defensive approach than usual.
