Jordan and Algeria meet in a high-stakes World Cup Group J clash that likely determines knockout progression. Jordan, debutants struggling for form, must win after their opening defeat and a looming matchup against Argentina. Algeria, coming off a heavy loss to Argentina but strong in pre-tournament form, are tipped to bounce back. Algeria are favored for the win, with over 2.5 goals expected based on both teams' recent goal-scoring and conceding trends. Key players to watch include Fares Chaibi, with possible lineup changes for Algeria.

Jordan vs Algeria World Cup Tips, Prediction & Live Stream


Progression to the knockout phase most likely hinges on this result for both teams as Jordan and Algeria square off in Group J action at the World Cup on Monday night at Levi's Stadium.

Tournament debutants Jordan were upstaged 2-1 by Austria in their first World Cup outing and with the daunting task of facing reigning champions Argentina in their final group game, all three points is basically essential if they want to have any chance of advancing into the Round of 32. Jordan kept things tight with Austria and were level with 15 minutes remaining before conceding two late goals. However, a run of six straight games without a win and conceding 2+ goals in all six of those fixtures doesn't bode well heading into this do-or-die showdown.

Meanwhile, Algeria came undone against Argentina following a Lionel Messi masterclass and now must dust themselves off if they want to reach the knockout phase of the World Cup for just the second time. Considering Algeria were in strong form ahead of the tournament with seven wins from their last nine games before the Argentina defeat, you'd back them to turn things around against lesser opposition here.

So I'm taking the Desert Warriors to secure all three points, along with the game producing Over 2.5 goals. Algeria have scored 3+ goals themselves in four of their last 10 games, while Jordan have gone over this total in five of their last six, along with seeing both teams score in all of those fixtures.

With those numbers in mind, a 3-1 correct score for Algeria appeals, while Fares Chaibi looks good value to find the back of the net after having a goal chalked off for offside against Argentina - although his spot in the starting side might be under question if Mo Amoura or Riyad Mahrez are drafted in from the bench.

  • Algeria have scored 3+ goals in four of their last 10 games
  • Jordan have conceded 2+ goals in their last six games

  • Chaibi had a team-high eight shots on target during AFCON at the start of the year

Jordan vs Algeria Head To Head

This will be the first meeting between the nations since a 1-1 draw in a friendly back in 2004.

Jordan Form Analysis

Jordan arrived at their maiden World Cup in poor form and although they produced a strong effort against Austria, they were decidedly second-best and now face a steep mountain to climb in order to reach the knockout phase.

But there were some positives for sure - Jordan were level with Austria for shots (11) and shots on target (4) throughout the contest, but they were happy to cede possession, giving up 63 per cent of the ball.

That lack of possession proved costly in the end, with Jordan conceding an own goal and a penalty in the final quarter of the game to go down 3-1. Ali Olwan scored his nation's first ever goal at a World Cup, assisted by Noor Al Rawabdeh.

Jordan Team News

Abdallah Nasib went off injured in the loss to Austria and will be monitored ahead of kick off.

Olwan should retain his spot in the starting squad after his historic goal, while Rennes forward Musa Al Taamari will be hoping to add to his 24 goals for the national team.

Algeria Form Analysis

It was a disappointing opening performance from Algeria as they were humbled 3-0 by reigning champions Argentina.

In strong form pre-tournament, many - including myself - expected Algeria to really take to Argentina, but a certain Lionel Messi had other ideas, scoring a brilliant hat-trick.

Fares Chaibi had the ball in the back of the net for Algeria in the opening 10 minutes, but the goal was ruled out for offside and they struggled to create any meaningful chances after.

Algeria Team News

Vladimir Petkovic made a couple of questionable calls for that Argentina game, opting to leave Mohamed Amoura - who top scored with 10 goals in qualifying - and star veteran Riyad Mahrez on the bench.

The pair are surely in contention to start this game, with Anis Hadj Moussa probably the most likely to make way.
