- Argentina have a perfect win record in their last five games, winning their opening World Cup match and scoring 14 goals in their last five.
- Jordan have lost three consecutive matches, failing to win in their last five in all competitions.
- Lionel Messi has scored five goals in his last five appearances, including three in Argentina's opening World Cup 2026 match.
Jordan to remain grounded by an Argentine steamroller
Lionel Scaloni's men have made a perfect start to Group J of the FIFA World Cup, taking three points with their first game while Jordan sit third after their defeat.
Jordan have been in poor form for some time and this week's Jordan vs Argentina preview suggests the match against Argentina will be the toughest test yet for recently appointed manager Jamal Sellami, who must instill defensive discipline and counter-attacking bite if his side are to trouble the tournament favorites.
The first Jordan vs Argentina prediction is that Jordan, who have lost their last three matches and failed to win in their last five in all competitions, will need to play with a compact 4-5-1 or 3-4-3 system on Sunday, relying on their ability to defend solidly and then transition quickly when in possession, usually through the pace of star striker Mousa Al-Taamari.
Messi and free-flowing Argentina on a roll
Scaloni has kept things simple since 2018, setting up with a 4-3-3 that allows for lots of central overloads, inverted full-backs and Lionel Messi to do as he pleases. La Pulga is in excellent form and will be a big threat again when the game is played at Dallas Stadium.
Argentina's fluid system, which allows Nico Gonzalez to display his creativity and provided an assist in their opening game against Algeria, should be more than enough to break down Jordan's deep block on Sunday. But it is in the defensive department where Argentina excel, as they proved by keeping a clean sheet against Algeria in their opener.
Furthermore, our Jordan vs Argentina prediction is that Argentina to keep the shutout looks the best bet here as Jordan will likely be unable to break through Argentina's organised defence, while the odds of 1.59 for 'Both teams to score - No' reflects the feeling that Argentina will win with relative ease. For punters seeking further insight, this Jordan vs Argentina betting tips analysis strongly supports a solid victory for Argentina.
