Jordan vs Argentina

A true David vs Goliath clash awaits as already-eliminated Jordan take on tournament favourites Argentina in their final Group J fixture, with 0-3 our predicted outcome. While Jordan are playing only for pride, Argentina will be looking to maintain their perfect record and head into the knockout stages with maximum confidence. Jordan's World Cup debut campaign has proven to be a tough learning experience. Consecutive defeats to Austria and Algeria ended their hopes of reaching the next round, and coach Jamal Sellami is expected to rotate his squad. Al Fakhouri, Abu Hasheesh, and Azaizeh are all pushing for starting spots as Jordan look to finish the tournament on a positive note. Defensive issues have been a recurring problem, with the side conceding 1.8 goals per game across their last ten matches.

Argentina, meanwhile, have lived up to expectations. Victories over Algeria (3-0) and Austria (2-0) secured qualification with a game to spare, while Lionel Messi has been in a splendid form, scoring five goals already at the tournament. The reigning world champions have been rock-solid defensively as well, conceding just 0.2 goals per game across their last ten outings. Cristian Romero is expected to miss out through injury, but experienced defender Nicolas Otamendi is ready to step in. As Argentina have been dominant throughout the tournament, Away Win seems like a sure bet, alongside Argentina to Win to Nil and Over 2.5 goals (Argentina possess enough attacking quality to cover this line on their own).
