Jordan Team News
Jordan head into their final group match with a mission to make history. A defeat would confirm a winless World Cup debut, but a victory over Argentina would be remembered as one of the greatest moments in their football history.
Head coach Jamal Sellami is expected to stick with a disciplined tactical structure. Jordan will need to stay compact, limit space, and rely on counterattacks to create scoring opportunities.
Mousa Al-Taamari is Jordan’s most dangerous player. The Rennes forward brings pace and strong dribbling ability, which could trouble Argentina’s defensive line.
Argentina Team News
Argentina come into this match with little pressure after already securing qualification to the Round of 32. Lionel Scaloni’s side has collected a perfect six points from two matches and currently sits at the top of Group J.
Lionel Messi remains the biggest attraction in the Argentine squad. However, Scaloni may carefully manage the captain’s fitness to ensure he is fully ready for the knockout stage.
Alongside Messi, Lautaro Martínez and Julián Álvarez are key attacking threats. Both have been in strong form, offering Argentina multiple attacking options and tactical flexibility.
Predicted Lineups
Jordan: Yazeed Abulaila (GK); Abdallah Nasib, Yazan Al-Arab, Husam Abudahab; Ehsan Haddad, Nizar Al-Rashdan, Noor Al-Rawabdeh, Mohannad Abu Taha; Mahmoud Al-Mardi, Mousa Al-Taamari; Ali Olwan.
Argentina: Emiliano Martínez (GK); Nahuel Molina, Cristian Romero, Lisandro Martínez, Facundo Medina; Alexis Mac Allister, Enzo Fernández, Rodrigo De Paul; Lionel Messi, Lautaro Martínez, Thiago Almada.
Score Prediction
From a tactical perspective, Argentina will continue to rely on possession-based football and fluid movement between the lines. Their ability to break down defenses through quick passing combinations makes them a major threat to Jordan.
Argentina can also shift tempo quickly. If Jordan sit too deep, the space between midfield and defense could be exploited by Messi and other creative players.
Given the clear gap in quality, Argentina remain strong favorites. However, Jordan still have a chance to create a historic moment if they stay disciplined defensively and make the most of their limited opportunities.
Predicted Score: Jordan 0–4 Argentina
