Australia take on Jordan at Al Janoub Stadium in an international friendly on Wednesday, with both sides being in similar form of late.
Australia have been inconsistent recently and will be heading into the game off the back of two consecutive losses. Graham Arnold's side will face the UAE next week in a crucial World Cup qualifier and will want to go into the game in a strong vein of form.
Jordan will be going into the game off the back of a 2-0 win over India last time out. Vital Borkelman's side will be preparing for the Asia Cup in June and will look to beat Australia and that momentum into the tournament.
Both sides will want to build momentum ahead of their more important fixtures next month and that should make for an interesting matchup.
Australia vs Jordan Head-to-Head
Australia have slightly edged the recent head-to-head record between the two sides, having won three of their last five meetings, with Jordan winning the other two.
Australia came away as 1-0 winners the last time the two sides met back in July 2021. Harry Souttar's goal was enough to secure the win on the night.
