Jordan opens their historic inaugural World Cup campaign against Austria on Wednesday at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. A draw would almost certainly secure a place in the knockout stages for the Asian debutants.
The Jordanian side has been hampered by the absence of talismanic striker Yazan Al-Naimat, who suffered a cruciate ligament injury in December and remains unavailable for the tournament.
Forward Musa Al-Taamari, a fast and hard-working winger with Ligue 1 side Rennes, is expected to lead Jordan's attacking threat. Striker Ali Olwan, who has not played competitively since February, is expected to be fit to start despite concerns over his match sharpness.
Al-Naimat's absence substantially reduces Jordan's goal-scoring threat and attacking potency, likely lengthening their odds in Group J and affecting totals markets for their matches.
