Argentina vs Jordan Preview: Can Jordan End Their World Cup Debut on a High?

The Dallas Stadium will host the last Group J match of World Cup holders Argentina as they play Jordan in a match with nothing on the line. Jordan has been beaten in both their opening World Cup matches and will end up bottom of the group and go home. On the other hand, Argentina has won both its opening matches without conceding a goal, and are through to the last 32. 

What Can We Expect From the Argentina vs Jordan Match?

This will be the first match between these two nations, with Argentina ranked number 1 in the world and Jordan ranked 71st. Argentina are unbeaten in nine matches across all competitions with eight clean sheets. Argentina are aiming to be only the second nation to win back-to-back World Cups and lift the trophy for the fourth time. Jordan joined Ivory Coast as the only other team making their debut in the World Cup to have scored in both opening matches. 

Our Match Prediction

Even if Argentina rest some star players, they are heavy favourites to win this game. It is expected that Lionel Messi will start and play the first half before coming off in the second half. Argentina has too much quality for Jordan and will score more than one without conceding.
