Jordan vs Argentina : world champions looking to make it three from three 
On paper, it looks like a mismatch, but there is still something riding on it. Argentina are already locked in at the top of Group J and head into their final match before the round of 32 looking to keep the momentum rolling. Jordan, meanwhile, have nothing left to play for in the standings except a positive end to their first World Cup.
For Jordan, facing the reigning world champions is already a landmark occasion. For La Albiceleste, this is all about arriving at the knockout stage with confidence and, if possible, without any fresh injuries.
A lively Jordan side despite elimination 
The table does not tell the whole story. Beaten by Austria and then Algeria, Jordan have never looked like they were ready to fold. Jamal Sellami’s side even went ahead against the Algerians before fading in the final stretch. More importantly, they have scored in both of their opening games at the tournament.
For a team making its World Cup debut, that threat going forward is no small detail. Mousa Al-Taamari remains Jordan’s main weapon on the break, while Ali Olwan keeps causing problems with his movement. Against an Argentina side likely to be rotated, the spaces could be a bit more generous than they were in the first two rounds.
Argentina already have one eye on what comes next 
Two matches, two wins, no goals conceded: the world champions have been perfect so far. Lionel Messi was at it again with a brace against Austria, but Lionel Scaloni could use this final group game to give several key men a breather. Argentina’s depth is seriously impressive.
Even with a few changes, Lautaro Martinez, Garnacho, Enzo Fernandez and Julian Alvarez offer more than enough going forward to keep the level high. That said, a bit of squad rotation can affect the defensive edge. The rhythm will not be quite as sharp as it is with the first-choice XI.
Likely line-ups :
Jordan: Abu Laila – Haddad, Al-Arab, Nasib, Abu Dahab, Abu Taha – Al Rashdan, Al Rawabdeh – Al-Taamari, Olwan, Al-Naimat.
Argentina: Emiliano Martinez – Molina, Senesi, Otamendi, Tagliafico – De Paul, Enzo Fernandez, Mac Allister – Messi, Lautaro Martinez, Garnacho.

World Cup 2026 prediction : Jordan vs Argentina
Jordan to score at least once
The final result looks set to go Argentina’s way, but this bet does not require Jordan to pull off anything outrageous. They just need one goal, and there are reasons to think it is possible. Jordan have found the net in both of their first two games in the competition. Even when under pressure, they created chances and never stopped trying to play forward. Against a team that has already qualified and is guaranteed to finish top, the backdrop looks more favourable than it did against Austria or Algeria.
At the other end, Lionel Scaloni is expected to shuffle his pack. Several senior players could be rested, which may weaken the collective solidity seen from the start of the tournament. A reshaped defence often hands an opening to a side playing with a bit more freedom. Argentina still have the cleaner technical edge, of course, but Jordan have players capable of making the most of a transition or a set piece. In a match where La Albiceleste will mainly be trying to manage their workload before the business end of the competition, Jordan scoring at least once feels like a credible shout.

First, a word on our predictions
- What we publish on mathodds is analysis, nothing more. We are offering an opinion, a read on the moment, but never a guarantee. Sport is what it is: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a goal out of nowhere… and the script changes completely.
- Let us be clear: there is no such thing as a risk-free bet. Even when something looks “obvious”, it is never quite that simple. And yes, that means you can lose. In fact, sooner or later, you will.
- The best approach is to stay sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Above all, do not touch money you need to live. And most of all: do not chase losses, because that rarely ends well.
- A bet should stay a bit of fun, not a job or a source of income. If it starts to take up too much space in your life, if it irritates you or puts you under pressure, take a break. And if needed, speak to a specialist support service. That is what it is there for.
- At the end of the day, responsibility sits with you. Reading our content means accepting that risk exists and will never go away, even with the best analysis in the world.
- Essential reminder: betting is forbidden to minors and must comply with the law in your country. Gambling can spiral quickly (money losses, family tension, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No commitment from us
Our predictions are not a contract. They carry no legal weight. In plain English: you cannot use them to demand anything if a bet does not land.
Information changes
A prediction is always based on what we know when it is written. But in the meantime, a team sheet changes, a player gets injured, the weather turns… and the analysis can quickly be out of date. We cannot be held responsible for that.
Your role
Before betting, just make sure wagers are legal where you live. If they are not, that is your responsibility, not ours.
Responsible gambling first
We cannot say it often enough: gamble in moderation. If you are struggling to keep control, do not wait to seek help. We cannot be responsible for compulsive or excessive use of the information published on the site.
