Jordan vs Argentina bet builder tips

Argentina -1 handicap

Argentina have looked every bit the world champions through their opening two matches, beating Algeria 3-0 before following that up with a 2-0 victory over Austria.

Having already wrapped up first place in Group J, Lionel Scaloni is expected to rotate his squad, but the quality available means there should be little drop-off.

In fact, the fringe players may be even more motivated as they look to force their way into the starting XI for the knockout rounds.

An Argentina -1 handicap selection has landed in each of the reigning champions' last five matches and in seven of their last ten overall.

Jordan, meanwhile, have lost by two or more goals in three of their last five games and have already been eliminated from the tournament.

Everything points towards Argentina winning comfortably once again.

Over 2.5 goals

Argentina have averaged 2.5 goals per game at this World Cup, and we expect them to better that return against a Jordan side that has struggled defensively.

Four of Jordan's last five matches have seen over 2.5 goals scored, while four of Argentina's last six outings have also produced at least three goals.

With the pressure off both teams and Argentina expected to rotate in several attack-minded players eager to impress, this has all the ingredients for an entertaining contest.

We're backing at least three goals to be scored.

Under 1.5 Jordan goals

Argentina are one of only two teams at this World Cup to have won every match without conceding a goal.

Even with rotation expected, the defensive quality available remains exceptional, with players such as Valentin Barco, Marcos Senesi and Nicolas Otamendi all capable of stepping in.

Jordan have scored just three goals across their last four matches and have failed to score more than once in any of those fixtures.

Against one of the strongest defences in world football, we're tipping Jordan to score no more than one goal.

Julian Alvarez to score

Julian Alvarez looks primed for a rare start after featuring for just 61 minutes across Argentina's opening two group matches.

Despite strong interest from some of Europe's biggest clubs following another outstanding season with Atletico Madrid, Lionel Scaloni has preferred Lautaro Martinez through the opening games.

That gives Alvarez every incentive to seize his opportunity here.

The striker scored 10 goals in 15 Champions League appearances this season, alongside eight more in La Liga, while he has already netted 14 times for Argentina despite often playing second fiddle to Lionel Messi and Lautaro Martinez.

He has already registered a big chance and a shot on target despite coming off the bench twice, and with a start expected against Jordan, we're backing Alvarez to find the back of the net.
