Jordan Looking to Finish on a High Note
Jordan's first World Cup appearance since 1986 has been a difficult experience. Jamal Sellami's side opened the tournament with a 3-1 loss to Austria before suffering a 2-1 defeat against Algeria despite leading at halftime. Those results left Jordan eliminated from the knockout stage heading into the final group match.
There have still been some positive moments. Nizar Al-Rashdan scored against Algeria and remains one of Jordan's most influential midfield players. Musa Al-Taamari has provided creativity in attack, while Ali Olwan has also found the scoresheet during the tournament. Jordan has averaged one goal per match through two group games, but the defense has struggled against stronger opposition, allowing five goals while posting a 1.79 expected goals against average.
Jordan has lost four consecutive matches, including friendlies against Switzerland and Colombia before the tournament. The team has conceded 13 goals across its last five matches and now faces the toughest opponent in the group. Maintaining defensive shape for a full 90 minutes will be critical after second-half collapses against both Austria and Algeria.

Argentina Rolling Into the Knockout Stage
Argentina has looked every bit like a World Cup contender through two matches. Lionel Scaloni's side opened with a 3-0 victory over Algeria before defeating Austria 2-0. The defending world champions have scored five goals, conceded none, and already guaranteed first place in Group J.
Lionel Messi has been the story of the tournament so far. The captain leads all players with five goals through two matches and scored both goals against Austria after missing an early penalty. Argentina's attack continues to create chances through Messi, Lautaro Martínez, Alexis Mac Allister, and Enzo Fernández, while the defense has been equally dominant.
The numbers underline Argentina's superiority. La Albiceleste is averaging 2.5 goals per match while allowing just 0.42 expected goals against per game. Argentina has also won five consecutive matches entering this contest, outscoring opponents 15-0 during that stretch. Even if Scaloni rotates parts of the lineup with qualification already secured, the squad depth remains among the strongest in the tournament.
Injuries: No injuries or suspensions have been reported for Argentina.
Jordan vs Argentina Match Pick
- Argentina -1.5 (-155)
Argentina has been the best team in Group J by a wide margin. The defending champions have won both matches comfortably, have not conceded a goal, and enter with confidence after back-to-back victories over Austria and Algeria. Jordan has shown effort and attacking ability, but the defensive issues remain difficult to ignore after allowing five goals in two World Cup matches and 13 goals across its last five games. Even if Argentina rotates a few starters, the overall talent gap remains significant. With Messi in outstanding form and Argentina looking to carry momentum into the knockout stage, La Albiceleste should create enough quality chances to win by multiple goals.
Jordan vs Argentina Over/Under Pick
- Over 2.5 Goals (-170)
Jordan's matches have consistently produced scoring opportunities. Four of Jordan's last five matches have gone over 2.5 goals, and the team has conceded at least two goals in four of those contests. Argentina has scored 15 goals during its current five-match winning streak and has averaged 2.5 goals per game during the World Cup. While Argentina's defense has been excellent, Jordan has enough attacking quality through Al-Taamari and Al-Rashdan to contribute if Argentina eases off late. Even if Jordan fails to score, Argentina has the firepower to push this match over the total on its own.
