AMMAN, Jordan (Interstat) — Argentina, riding a three-match winning streak, faces Jordan on Saturday in a World Cup group-stage match at Amman International Stadium. The game, organized as part of the 2026 World Cup, kicks off at 8 p.m. local time. Argentina arrives after a 2-0 victory over Austria on Monday, June 22, extending its run of clean sheets. Lionel Scaloni’s side has not conceded since a 1-0 loss to Ecuador on Sept. 9, 2025, a span of six matches. The Albiceleste have outscored opponents 12-0 in that stretch, including a 3-0 win over Algeria on June 16 and a 4-1 thrashing of Brazil in March. Captain Lionel Messi, likely making his final World Cup appearance, has been central to the attack. The 38-year-old forward scored in the Austria win and has tallied in four of Argentina’s last five matches. Midfielder Rodrigo De Paul and striker Lautaro Martínez have also contributed, with Martínez finding the net against Algeria and Brazil. Jordan enters the match after a 2-1 loss to Algeria on Monday. The defeat snapped a three-match unbeaten run that included scoreless draws with Qatar and Japan on April 18. Jordan’s only win in its last five games came against Oman on June 5, 2025, a 3-0 result. Coach Hussein Ammouta’s squad has struggled against top-tier opponents, losing 3-1 to Austria on June 17 and dropping a 1-0 decision to Iraq in June 2025. Striker Musa Al-Taamari, Jordan’s leading scorer, will need support from midfielder Nizar Al-Rashdan to break Argentina’s stout defense. Interstat’s game simulator projects a 2-0 Argentina victory, reflecting the visitors’ dominance. Argentina has not lost to an Asian opponent since a 2018 friendly against Japan. Jordan is making its first World Cup appearance, and a positive result would be a historic upset. The match marks the first meeting between the nations. Argentina will look to secure advancement to the knockout stage, while Jordan aims to remain in contention. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m.
