Argentina vs. Jordan projected lineups, starting 11 for World Cup Group J game in Arlington

Jordan and Argentina meet at Arlington, Texas in their final World Cup Group J match, although both teams already know their fate.

Argentina secured top spot with victories over Algeria and Austria, while Jordan were eliminated after defeats to those same opponents in their opening two matches.

With first place already guaranteed for Lionel Scaloni's side, the contest offers Argentina a chance to build momentum ahead of the Round of 32, while Jordan will be aiming to end their tournament on a positive note.

Here is how the teams are predicted to line up

Argentina projected starting 11

(4-3-3, right to left): 12. J. Musso (GK) — 26. N. Molina, 19. N. Otamendi, 6. M. Senesi, 3. N. Tagliafico — 16. G. Lo Celso, 5. L. Paredes, 21. V. Barco — 15. N. Paz, 9. J. Alvarez, 11. N. Gonzalez

• Injured: C. Romero (knee, doubt)
• Suspended: None
• On a yellow card: F. Medina

Argentina could rotate after sealing top spot in Group J with a game to spare, while Cristian Romero is a doubt after aggravating a knee issue against Austria.

Juan Musso could start in goal, with Nicolas Otamendi and Marcos Senesi forming the central defensive pairing. Giovani Lo Celso, Leandro Paredes and Valentin Barco could line up in midfield.

Further forward, Nico Paz and Nico Gonzalez are expected to support Julian Alvarez, with Lionel Messi likely to be rested ahead of the Round of 32.

Jordan projected starting 11

(3-4-2-1, right to left): 1. Y. Abulaila (GK) — 3. M. Abualnadi, 5. A. Nasib, 21. Y. Al Arab — 13. M. Abu Taha, 15. N. Al Rawabdeh, 8. N. Al Rashdan, 23. E. Haddad — 10. O. Fakhoury, 11. M. Al-Tamari — 9. A. Olwan

• Injured: None reported
• Suspended: None
• On a yellow card: H. Dahab

Jordan have no fresh injury or suspension concerns despite their elimination after defeats to Austria and Algeria.

Jamal Sellami is expected to stick with the core of the side that started the opening two group matches. Mousa Al Tamari will once again provide Jordan's main attacking threat behind striker Ali Olwan, while Noor Al Rawabdeh and Nizar Al Rashdan are likely to continue in central midfield.

With knockout qualification no longer possible, Jordan will be aiming to end their first-ever World Cup campaign with a positive result against the group winners.

Jordan vs. Argentina predictions, betting odds

With first place already secured, Argentina can afford to manage minutes ahead of the Round of 32, giving several squad players the chance to impress. Jordan, meanwhile, will be determined to avoid leaving the tournament without a point.

The reduced pressure could produce a more open contest than expected, but Argentina's depth should still prove decisive against a side that has struggled to create clear-cut opportunities in its opening two matches.
