channel pressure
Where it'll be decided
The central channel is the primary tactical battleground for both sides. With over 70% of attacking volume directed through the middle, the match will likely hinge on which side can better secure the central corridor. Jordan's right wing remains a secondary point of interest where they may look to exploit Argentina's defensive spacing.
