Austria vs. Jordan Odds, Props, Picks & Predictions for World Cup Midnight Match

Austria and Jordan are set to kick off Wednesday’s World Cup slate with a midnight start time on the East Coast, though it will be a much more manageable 9 p.m. local start in California on Tuesday night.

Neither nation is particularly familiar with the World Cup stage. Austria is making its eighth appearance in the tournament and its first since 1998, with its best finish coming in 1954 when it placed third. Jordan, meanwhile, is making its World Cup debut in 2026.

Austria has been playing excellent soccer over the past year, posting a 9-1-1 record since June 2025 and remaining unbeaten since a 1-0 loss to Romania on Oct. 12. Jordan, on the other hand, has not won a match since Sept. 9, going 0-3-5 over its last eight matches.

Austria vs. Jordan Current Odds

Austria vs. Jordan Best Bet: Under 2.5 Goals

At first glance, you might think this best bet is tied to the midnight start time on the East Coast. However, with a 9 p.m. local kickoff in Santa Clara, fatigue or sluggishness should not be a major factor. Instead, the reasoning behind this pick is rooted in recent offensive production.

Austria scored five goals against Ghana in an international friendly on March 27, but it has scored just one goal in each of its last two matches, both of which ended in 1-0 victories. Jordan has also struggled to generate offense, getting shut out by Colombia on June 7 and falling 4-1 to Switzerland on May 31.

With both teams finding goals hard to come by in recent matches, this contest could ultimately come down to defensive organization and goalkeeping performances. If that trend continues, the Under 2.5 Goals market has a solid chance of cashing.
