Jordan vs Argentina Match Preview

Jordan face Argentina in their final Group J match at AT&T Stadium in Arlington on Saturday June 27, in the first ever meeting between the two nations. Argentina are already confirmed group winners with six points and need nothing from this game.

Jordan are eliminated after losses to Austria and Algeria but enter this fixture having earned enormous respect across both performances, and Jamal Sellami’s side will want to sign off on their historic debut World Cup with something to remember.

Argentina Have Five Goals and a Squad Hungry to Add to Them

All five of Argentina’s goals at this tournament have come from Messi. Lautaro Martinez, Julian Alvarez, Nico Gonzalez and the midfield trio of De Paul, Mac Allister and Enzo Fernandez have contributed assists and pressing but not goals, and with Scaloni rotating the squad for the knockout stages, several players will arrive at AT&T Stadium knowing this is their last chance to make an impression before the real business starts.

Cristian Romero will not play after the knee issue that forced him off against Austria, but Otamendi alongside Lisandro Martinez provides experienced cover.

The attacking depth available in Lautaro, Alvarez, Almada and Gonzalez, this gives Scaloni options across the front line without needing to expose his first-choice XI, and Jordan have shown across two matches that their defensive structure breaks down in the second half when energy levels drop.

Argentina scored three times in the opening 45 minutes against Algeria and twice in the first half against Austria. This squad starts fast regardless of who is in the team.

Jordan’s Set Pieces Have Been Their Downfall at the Critical Moments

Sellami’s side gave a better account of themselves than anyone expected across two genuinely competitive group stage matches.

Against Austria they had the same number of shots and shots on target — 11 and 4 — and Ali Olwan’s curling finish in the 50th minute was a goal worthy of any World Cup.

Against Algeria they went in front through Nizar Al-Rashdan’s outside-of-the-boot finish and led at half-time before running out of energy in the second period.

The pattern that has undermined them in both games is identical — they conceded from corners in the closing stages of each match, twice to Algeria in the 69th and 82nd minutes and once to Austria through an own goal deflection in the 76th minute.

Argentina’s delivery from set pieces, and the quality of the runners arriving into the box from midfield, is a level above anything Jordan have faced in this tournament.

In open play Jordan have enough pace through Mousa Al-Tamari to cause moments of concern, but over 90 minutes against Argentina’s defensive structure the chances of sustaining that threat are slim.

Jordan vs Argentina Prediction

The best bet for this match is over 1.5 goals in the first half at 2.35 odds. Argentina have scored two or more goals before half-time in each of their first two group games — three against Algeria, two against Austria — and a squad with Lautaro and Alvarez leading the line will not approach this game passively.

Argentina -1.5 Asian Handicap in the first half at 3.45 odds is the value selection. The pattern from Argentina’s two group games, fast starts, goals before the break, control from the front points directly to a two-goal cushion by half-time.

Our recommended correct score tip is Argentina 5-0 at 21.00 odds. Jordan conceded from corners in both group games when their legs went in the second half. Argentina’s set-piece quality, combined with the hunger of fringe players stepping in on a night when the pressure is off and the space is there, points to the kind of score that accumulates rather than explodes.
