## Team News & Predicted Lineups

**Jordan (4-4-2):** Shanak; Al-Basha, Haddad, Zubaidi, Al-Rashdan; Al-Taamari, Bani Attiah, Abdallah, Al-Naimat; Olwan, Al-Mardi

**Argentina (4-3-3):** Rulli; Molina, Otamendi, Balerdi, Tagliafico; Mac Allister, De Paul, E. Fernández; Di María, Lautaro, Messi (c)

Two key absentees for Argentina: **Cristian Romero and Gonzalo Montiel** are both ruled out through injury. Scaloni is also widely expected to rotate his squad — with the knockouts in mind, don’t be surprised to see fringe players get minutes. Jordan have a clean bill of health and will field their strongest possible lineup — when you’re already eliminated, there’s no reason to rest anyone.

The spotlight, as ever, falls on Lionel Messi. Against Austria, he became the **all-time leading World Cup goalscorer with 18 goals**, surpassing Germany’s Miroslav Klose. Can Jordan deny him number 19?

Argentina have scored 15 goals and conceded none across their last five matches. Jordan have lost four of their last five. The gap in class is stark — but Jordan’s Ali Olwan already made history by scoring his country’s [first-ever World Cup goal](https://www.fifa.com/en/match-centre/match/17/285023/289273/400021497) against Austria. They’ll want more.

## Head-to-Head

This is the **first-ever competitive meeting** between Jordan and Argentina — in fact, it’s the first documented meeting between the two nations at any level. History begins at AT&T Stadium, Dallas.

## Prediction

Argentina will win — that’s not a bold call. But Scaloni’s likely rotation opens the door for Jordan to stay competitive, and the debutants have shown they can score. Expect Argentina to control possession, with a rotated squad still too good to lose. **Argentina 3-0 Jordan** — comfortable, professional, and another platform for Messi’s farewell tour.
