The Middle-Eastern state are on the brink of making history but head into Wednesday's encounter as underdogs against a team that reached the semi-finals of the 2010 tournament.
Hossam Hassan's men won a penalty shoot-out in September's Asian Football Confederation (AFC) play-off with Uzbekistan after finishing third in the fourth round of AFC qualifying.
At the other end of the pitch, striker Ahmad Hayel Ibrahim carries the hosts' most potent threat as he looks to add to his tally of seven goals during Jordan's journey towards Brazil.
Oscar Tabarez's visitors put on a late surge to secure their place in the play-off, although defeat against Ecuador last month effectively ended their hopes of automatic qualification.
Uruguay's subsequent 3-2 triumph over Argentina represented a fourth victory in five and ensured Tabarez's men finished five points clear of sixth-placed Venezuela.
Suarez and Cavani combined for 16 goals in the group stage, but Tabarez is still anticipating a difficult game.
"If Jordan gives everything it's got in its status as home team, it will make it hard for us, and I'm not being pessimistic or cautious," he said.
"They don't have any elite football players, but to make a match tough, that's not necessary."
