Jordan vs Argentinaprediction, odds, kickoff time & how to watch: 2026 World Cup

Jordan vs Argentina is a clash of styles: Asia against South America. Our model makes Argentina a heavy favourite (75%), with Jordan given just 1% and a 24% draw on the cards. The FIFA ranking gap is stark (#63 vs #3), and the contender tiers agree.

Tactically, Jordan will want to lean on al-Taamari's flair to get at Argentina, whose pressure of the title defence is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Argentina's messi's magic could punish Jordan if squad depth goes unaddressed. Expect both coaches, Jamal Sellami and Lionel Scaloni, to set up around exactly that battle.

Keep an eye on Yazan Al-Naimat (ST, Al-Ahli Doha) and Lautaro Martínez (ST, Inter): the two most likely to decide it with a moment of quality. By Matchday 3, qualification math is usually on the line, so expect both sides to know exactly what result they need.
