Stat Attack
- This is Jordan’s first World Cup meeting against Argentina.
- Argentina have never met Jordan previously in all competitions.
- Jordan’s Yazeed Abulaila has made seven saves from 12 shots on target against his goal.
- All five of Argentina’s goals in the group stage so far have been scored by Lionel Messi.
Prediction
Officially eliminated from the group and tournament, Jordan have nothing to fear as they’re distant underdogs by a mile in this fixture but they will of been disappointed to had not held onto their lead against Algeria, as this game is largely going to be about defensive tactics.
Argentina unsurprisingly are rotating their squad but I still expect them to be very strong and honestly don’t see them losing this if they stay focused, as this is a group that they can top unbeaten with momentum to take into the knockout stages.
Prediction: Jordan 0-3 Argentina
