Our prediction for this World Cup 2026 match:
All eyes will be on Al Kuwait Sports Club Stadium when Australia and Jordan go head to head in the Group B derby. Australia aim to keep their 100% record in the WC qualifiers intact, and we are positive that they will adopt yet another attack-minded approach. Even though both Mooy and Rogic are out of contention with injuries, we are tempted to put our money on the Group B leaders.
Jordan, on the other hand, face a must-win situation in the decider as they are sitting in 7th place in the ranking of second-placed teams. Considering that the visitors are likely to go all guns blazing at Australia, we predict that the Socceroos will seal the victory on the break. Australia defeated Jordan thanks to Adam Taggart’s goal when the two teams met in Amman earlier in the process, and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself.
