Australia's numbers read better on paper, eight wins, eight draws and just four losses from 20 games, with 29 scored against 18 conceded. They've had some big results in recent World Cup fixtures, though a 2-4 home friendly defeat to Brazil is a reminder they're not flawless either.

Australia's overall sample looks the stronger of the two, though both sides have had rocky moments recently.

Comparative Team Statistics: Jordan vs Australia

History favours the visitors

The head-to-head record leans heavily towards Australia. Of the six meetings on record, Australia have won four, including the most recent clash back in 2022, while Jordan's only win came in a 2019 World Cup qualifier.

That said, most of these meetings stretch back close to a decade or more, so they tell us more about historical tendencies than about either side's current level.

A friendly with uncertain stakes

As this is an international friendly a month out, team news and selection could shift plenty between now and kickoff. Squads named for friendlies often see changes from what either side used in their recent competitive fixtures.

Given Jordan's recent exposure to stronger opposition in a tournament setting and Australia's steadier overall form, there's a case either way depending on who turns up with a settled line-up on the night.
