Argentina vs Jordan Prediction

This will be the first meeting between those two National Teams.

In this Argentina vs Jordan Prediction, Argentina is coming as huge -550 favorites. Argentina have already been qualified for the knockout stage of the World Cup and have been playing excellent football with a red-hot Messi, who has scored all of its five goals and a rock-solid defense that has yet to concede a goal. I don’t expect any sort of resistance from an inferior Jordan squad that concedes 2.5 goals per game, so take Argentina by -2 in this one.
