Here is the latest team news and confirmed lineups for Argentina vs Jordan in their final Group J match. La Albiceleste have already confirmed their position as group winners following convincing 3–0 and 2–0 victories over Algeria and Austria respectively. However, Lionel Scaloni will want to avoid a loss of momentum to prepare for their Round of 32 match on Friday. Lionel Messi, who has scored all five of his team’s goals, will also have the opportunity to extend his record as the FIFA World Cup’s all-time top scorer.
Similarly, Jordan are playing without tangible consequences, having already been eliminated. Yet Jamal Sellami’s side have given a good account of themselves, falling 3–1 to Austria in their opener before a narrow 2–1 loss against Algeria. A similar, resilient performance against the reigning champions would be a source of pride for a relatively small football nation, and would provide a platform for future tournaments.
