Argentina will be looking to make it a perfect three wins from three in Group J when they face Jordan at the AT&T Stadium in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Victories over Austria and Algeria mean Argentina have already secured top spot in their section and a last-32 meeting against the runner-up in Group H.
Jordan have suffered defeats to both Algeria and Austria, confirming their early exit from the World Cup and making this clash in Arlington a dead rubber.
However, The Chivalrous Ones still have pride to play for in this final group encounter and they will be hopeful of causing a few problems for the defending world champions.

Jordan v Argentina Prediction
Best Bet: Argentina to win and both teams to score @ 11/5
Argentina have made a solid start to their World Cup defence, following up a 3-0 victory over Algeria with a 2-0 triumph over Austria to progress into the knockouts as group winners.
Lionel Messi has once again been the star of the show, bagging all five goals, and he is expected to start this match as he bids to add to his World Cup goal record.
However, changes are expected in other areas and there could be a double tweak at centre-back, with Cristian Romero unlikely to be risked after coming off in the Austria win with a knee injury and Lisandro Martinez potentially being rested.
That could mean 38-year-old Nicolas Otamendi and Marcos Senesi, who has just three caps to his name and was a late inclusion to the squad due to Leonardo Balerdi's withdrawal, will be the centre-back partnership.
Argentina may have kept five clean sheets in a row, but it was not with this pairing at the heart of defence and this is something Jordan could expose.
Jordan have scored in 11 of their last 12 outings - the only team stopping them during that run being Colombia - and they will be desperate to give their supporters something to cheer about before heading home.
A consolation strike would be of no surprise, but that is all it will be given they are without a win in seven matches and have failed to keep a clean sheet in all of those.
Alternative Bet: Nico Paz to assist @ 9/4
Rumours are swirling around the future of Como attacking midfielder Nico Paz, who will reportedly be re-signed by former employers Real Madrid before then being sold this summer.
Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and Inter Milan are all said to be showing an interest and the quartet may get to see the Argentine in action in the final group match.
Head coach Lionel Scaloni could give Paz his first start of the tournament and he has the quality to set up a teammate.
The 21-year-old registered seven assists for Como in the 2025/26 Serie A season and he can transfer that form onto the international stage.
Jordan v Argentina Bet Builder Tip
Over 2 goals
Ali Olwan 2+ shots
Abdallah Nasib to be booked
Pays 16/1
There have been three or more goals in six of Jordan's last seven matches and in four of Argentina's last six assignments.
Jordan's Ali Olwan has attempted six shots in two World Cup games, an average of three per match, and he looks capable of getting at least another two efforts away.
Jordan's defence is expected to come under scrutiny and one player in danger of being booked is centre-back Abdallah Nasib, who will struggle to cope with the likes of Messi and Lautaro Martinez.
