Socceroos vs. Jordan: When, where, how to watch, Australia squad and past results image

The Socceroos will prepare for a must-win World Cup play-off with a friendly against Jordan on June 2 (AEST). 

Graham Arnold's side must defeat the UAE and then Peru over the coming weeks to secure their place at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar after failing to directly qualify for the tournament. 

Australia have failed to win their past three games and lost their past two without managing to score a goal themselves. 

The Socceroos must get back to winning ways quickly and will be hoping this match against Jordan can get them back on track.

The Socceroos will take on Jordan in Qatar as they prepare and acclimatise for their play-off against the UAE on June 8.

Australia have struggled for form over the past six months, winning just one of seven matches. 

Jordan, who failed to get past the second round of World Cup qualifying, come into this friendly game having won their past two matches against New Zealand and India respectively. 

These two nations last faced off in June 2021 when the Socceroos claimed a late 1-0 win. 

Check out the highlights from that match below.

Graham Arnold has been able to name close to a full-strength Socceroos squad for games in June. 

The likes of Aaron Mooy and Adam Taggart have all returned to the team after recent absences but Tom Rogic has pulled out of the squad for personal reasons. 

Jason Davidson has also earned a recall after a strong domestic season with Melbourne Victory. 

Arnold has favoured experience for this squad leaving out Central Coast Mariners striker Jason Cummings despite his strong start to life in the A-League Men. 

Expect Arnold to name a strong starting side against Jordan with one or two minor tweaks as he looks to ensure his players are ready to perform against the UAE. 

Predicted Socceroos XI (4-3-3): Ryan - Davidson, Sainsbury, Degenek, Atkinson - Mooy, Irvine, Hrustic - Mabil, Duke, Boyle
