Argentina closes out the Group J stage of the 2026 World Cup against Jordan on Saturday, June 27, at 1 p.m. ET on FOX, and don't expect Lionel Scaloni's side to ease off despite already securing top spot.
My Argentina vs. Jordan predictions and World Cup picks expect the Albiceleste to keep their foot on the gas, with goals once again carrying the betting value.
Who will win Argentina vs Jordan: Argentina -1.5 (-175)
Laying the goals with Argentina is the logical side. Even if Lionel Scaloni rotates his squad, the talent gap remains enormous, and Jordan simply doesn't have the attacking quality to capitalize.
Argentina have kept eight straight clean sheets, allowing virtually nothing defensively, while Jordan have generated just 1.10 expected goals through two World Cup matches. Their lack of creativity makes it difficult to see where they consistently threaten.
At the other end, Jordan's narrow 3-4-2-1 continues to leave space in wide areas, and they've conceded multiple goals in seven straight matches. Argentina's quality on the flanks should create enough chances to pull away, making a comfortable two-goal victory the most likely outcome.
Playable to -180.

TOp pick
Argentina vs Jordan Over/Under pick: Over 2.5 (-167)
Argentina have already secured top spot in the group, but don't expect them to ease off. Their depth is among the best in the tournament, and this is a golden opportunity for fringe players to earn minutes ahead of the knockout stage.
Argentina's bench isn't filled with players simply trying to get through the match. It's packed with attackers trying to force their way into Lionel Scaloni's knockout plans, making this an ideal spot for the intensity to remain high despite first place already being secured.
The Albiceleste have been clinical in front of goal, turning 22 shots into 11 on target and five goals. They've now scored 2+ goals in eight straight matches, while the Over has cashed in five of those eight games.
Jordan, meanwhile, are defensively vulnerable. They've conceded 2+ goals in seven straight matches, and their narrow 3-4-2-1 leaves too much space behind the wing-backs — exactly where Argentina are at their most dangerous.
Messi won't score every goal forever, and this feels like the ideal breakout spot for Argentina's supporting cast. Even with nothing left to play for in the standings, the motivation to earn knockout-stage minutes should keep the goals coming as Argentina do the heavy lifting here.
Playable to -175.
