For Argentina, one thing is already certain for the 2026 World Cup: Lionel Scaloni’s team will finish first in Group J. Following a 3-0 win over Algeria—with a hat trick from Messi—and a 2-0 victory over Austria, La Scaloneta heads into the final match with a perfect record and a guaranteed spot in the Round of 16. They’ll face Jordan, which lost 3-1 to Austria and 2-1 to Algeria in its World Cup debut and has already been eliminated.
From a sporting standpoint, there is little at stake, but the final match holds symbolic value: finishing the group stage undefeated and giving the substitutes some playing time before the decisive stage.
Jordan will face the match without its top scorer from the qualifiers, Yazan Al-Naimat, who is sidelined with a torn cruciate ligament. On the Argentine side, the squad is at full strength, though Scaloni will rotate the lineup: Leandro Paredes and Facundo Medina are on yellow cards, and if they receive another, they would miss the round of 16.
