Jordan vs Argentina preview

Argentina and Jordan head to AT&T Stadium with their group-stage fortunes already decided.

The reigning champions are guaranteed to finish top after dispatching both Algeria and Austria with a minimum of fuss, scoring five goals and conceding exactly none.

Can you guess who scored all five?

Lionel Messi struck a hat-trick in the opener before following up with a brace against Austria to become the tournament’s all-time leading goalscorer, taking his World Cup tally to 18.

In a normal year, that would virtually guarantee the Golden Boot, but things are a little different with Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland around.

The French and Norwegian strikers are hot on Messi’s heels after consecutive braces of their own, which could be good news for Messi backers and ticket holders fearing a dead rubber might see the Argentine rested.

With or without the 38-year-old, Argentina should get the job done. Lionel Scaloni’s side have won nine straight matches, conceding just once and keeping eight clean sheets.

As for Jordan, they’ll simply be playing for pride after being eliminated from the World Cup with a game to spare.

Al Nashama, which translates as “The Chivalrous Ones”, were competitive in defeats to Austria and Algeria, scoring in both matches. However, they are now winless in seven and have conceded at least twice in each of those games.

Tip: Lionel Messi to score 2+ goals

We’re backing Lionel Messi to score another two goals today, available at 11/4 with Betfair.

Why change a winning formula?

I understand the concerns that he’s now 39 and that this dead rubber looks the ideal opportunity to give him a rest, but I think there’s very little chance we don’t see Messi for at least an hour at AT&T Stadium.

The Argentine has got off to the perfect start in his bid for the Golden Boot, which is the one individual honour he has never won. He’ll also want to hold onto his World Cup goalscoring record for at least a few years, with Kylian Mbappe breathing down his neck on 16 goals.

Jordan, who are leaky to say the least, look the ideal opponents for Messi to fill his boots and keep his nose in front.
