One of three teams on two points in Group B, a win would put Australia in a commanding position, particularly with three of its last four matches to be played at home.
Standing in its way is a Jordan side anchored to the bottom of the section, but one that will be difficult to conquer.
"They play, at times, some very, very high level football," said Osieck at the pre-match press conference.
"We had a good game against Lebanon, but don't get deceived by the score, we had to work for it very hard and our boys performed very well."
Australia and Jordan have never met at senior international level.
SBS will broadcast the next step of Australia's journey to the Brazil 2014 FIFA World Cup when the Socceroos take on Jordan in their next qualifier on Wednesday 12 September Australian time.
