Austria 3–1 Jordan
Austria dominates, our call lands perfectly
Austria made light work of Jordan with a commanding 3-1 victory in Santa Clara. Romano Schmid opened the scoring in the 21st minute before Ali Olwan briefly leveled for Jordan in the 50th. The hosts reasserted control decisively, with Yazan Al-Arab and Marko Arnautovic sealing the three points.
Our prediction nailed the result and winner, though we underestimated Austria's attacking potency. We forecasted a 1-0 scoreline at 64% confidence; Austria's clinical finishing in the second half proved too much for Jordan's defense.
Austria significantly outperformed expectations (+0.9 points vs. 2.1 projected), while Jordan fell short of their modest 0.7-point forecast, managing zero.
