Champions vs Debutants: Form and History
On paper, this is a mismatch. Argentina are the reigning world champions and three-time winners, and start as heavy favourites.
Jordan are the underdogs — but simply being here is historic. This is their first-ever World Cup appearance, as one of four debutant nations at this tournament.
The two sides have never met before, in any competition. With no shared history, there is no head-to-head record — this Group J game is their first encounter.
A few things to watch:
- Messi watch: fresh off a hat-trick against Algeria, the Argentina captain is in form — see whether he features in our guide on whether Messi is playing at this World Cup.
- Jordan’s big moment: a debut side chasing a famous result against the champions; staying compact is their best route to a point.
- Argentina’s line-up: if top spot is settled on 22 June, watch whether they rotate and rest key players.
