Preview: Jordan vs Argentina prediction, odds, where to watch, time | FIFA World Cup 2026

The Chivalrous One will take on the defending champions in Group J.

This will be the last group game for both sides. Both teams will be aiming to finish their group campaign on a positive note.

This is Jordan’s first-ever World Cup. They have failed to get a single point from two games. They lost against Austria by 1-3 and lost to Algeria by 1-2.

On the other hand, the defending champions, Argentina, won both their games quite comfortably. Jordan’s dream of making it into the knockout stage is already over. They will hope to end their debut World Cup campaign on a high note.

This will be the first time they take on Argentina in a competitive match. This will be a huge test for them.

On the other hand, Lionel Messi’s brilliance has helped the Argentina side to win against Austria and Algeria. They will hope to make it three out of three in the group stage. Manager Lionel Scaloni will look to make some rotations against Jordan.

He will give some rest to his main players. They have already made it into the knockout stage and are clear favourites to win against Jordan. Despite Argentina being the better team, they can’t afford to take Jordan lightly.

Form

Players to Watch

Musa Al-Taamari (Jordan)

Al-Taamari is the star player of Jordan. However, he has failed to score in the last two games. He plays for Rennes in Ligue 1.

The fans had a lot of expectations from him. So far, he hasn’t been able to be in the scoresheet. He does have the quality to create a lot of trouble for the Argentine defence.

He hopes to score at least a goal in the last group game.

Rodrigo De Paul (Argentina)

De Paul is in great shape. There were many doubts about his inclusion in the World Cup squad as his performance wasn’t up to the mark. But since the start of the World Cup, he has shown his quality.

Alongside Messi, he is Argentina’s best player without any doubt. His ability to cover ground throughout the 90 minutes makes him a lethal player. His willingness to give his all makes him stand out.

DePaul will be a big headache for the Jordan midfield.
