The Argentine squad is looking to stay perfect in group stage play. The team already has wins over Algeria and Austria, securing its spot in the knockout stage as leader of Group J. Argentina has already found success at Dallas Stadium, picking up a 2-0 win over Austria at the venue on Monday.
Lionel Messi is the tournament’s leading scorer with five goals. He’s also the tournament’s all-time leading scorer, with 18 World Cup goals on his record going into Saturday.
Jordan is still looking for a positive result in its first World Cup appearance. The squad lost its first two matches in the tournament, falling against Austria and Algeria.
If Jordan wants to make an impact, it’ll have to strike quickly as Argentina will be without Messi to start Saturday’s encounter. The superstar could come into the match in the second half.
