Argentina will take the field Saturday in a preparatory match against Jordan as Group J play concludes in the 2026 World Cup. Argentina have secured first place in the group and are scheduled to meet Cape Verde in the Round of 32 on July 3, while Jordan have been eliminated. Lionel Messi, the all‑time leader in World Cup goals, currently tops the Golden Boot race with five goals. Manager Lionel Scaloni confirmed that Messi will come off the bench in the second half, with Argentina opting for a heavy rotation. Given the uncertainty surrounding Messi’s minutes, both Julián Álvarez and Lautaro Martínez are listed with the lowest anytime goal‑scorer odds at +300.
Kickoff is set for 10 p.m. ET at Dallas Stadium. The most recent Argentina versus Jordan odds from FanDuel Sportsbook list Argentina as heavy favorites at -800 (risk $800 to win $100) on the 90‑minute money line, with Jordan at +11800 and a draw at +800. The total goals over/under is projected at 3.5.

Top Argentina vs. Jordan predictions
Green predicts that the match will exceed 3.5 total goals, with odds of +128. Argentina will probably bear most of the offensive burden, while Jordan have managed to score in each of their group games, potentially adding to the tally. Since Messi will be on the bench, the impact will depend on how much attacking firepower Argentina can deploy without him.
Green considers this sufficient to generate a sizable total against a vulnerable Jordan defense. He noted that Jordan’s defense has been their Achilles heel at the 2026 World Cup; they scored in both group matches but appeared shaky in a 3‑1 loss to Austria and a 2‑1 defeat to Algeria. That does not bode well for their encounter with Argentina. Argentina have won nine consecutive games, a streak that began in October 2025, and enter the fixture with high confidence.
