Argentina
- Argentina have 5 wins from 5 and have scored 14 goals in that run.

Jordan
- Jordan have lost 3 consecutively and failed to win any of their last 5 overall.
- Jordan boss Jamal Sellami will know that his side need to remain disciplined and they will likely play either a 4-5-1 or 3-4-3 formation.
Key Players

-
Jordan:
