Jordan’s maiden World Cup campaign will end at the group stage, although the Asian side have acquitted themselves well in the tournament.

Their final match in Group J comes against Argentina, who have won both of their matches thus far.

Lionel Messi has scored five times already at the tournament, overtaking Miroslav Klose as the all-time top scorer at the World Cup in the process.

Team news

Jordan have no fresh injury concerns and this could see the same starting XI play against Argentina that lost to Algeria last time out.

Lionel Scaloni could be without centre-back Cristian Romero. The Tottenham Hotspur defender picked up a knee injury in the victory over Austria.

There could be a few changes to the starting XI for this game, especially with freshness in mind heading into the knockout stages.

Argentina have already won the group, so players such as Nico Paz, Giuliano Simeone and Valentin Barco could be given some minutes on the pitch at some stage.

The stats

Argentina have played against Asian opposition four times at the World Cup, winning three of those four matchups. Their only defeat came against Saudi Arabia in the opening game of the 2022 World Cup.

Since a 1-0 loss to Ecuador in September 2025, Argentina have won all nine of their subsequent games heading into the clash with Jordan.

The Argentinians have kept clean sheets in eight of those games, conceding once to Mauritania.

Jordan have lost five of their previous seven matches and haven’t won since a 1-0 win over Saudi Arabia at the Arab Cup in December 2025.

Lionel Messi scored his 17th and 18th World Cup goals in the 2-0 win over Austria, overtaking Miroslav Klose as the competition's all-time top scorer.

Ali Olwan made history for Jordan as he became the first player to score a World Cup goal for the nation in the 3-1 loss to Austria.

Prediction

Due to the new head-to-head rule that settles a group rather than goal difference, this tie is a dead rubber.

Even if Argentina lose, Scaloni’s men will still top the group and this may allow several fringe players to get some minutes on the pitch.

Jordan will want to avoid a heavy defeat here in Dallas, but the South Americans should win comfortably while keeping another clean sheet in the process.

Score prediction: Jordan 0–3 Argentina 

Back Argentina to win to nil at 7/10 with LiveScore Bet
