On Monday evening, in California, having both lost during the opening round of group games, Jordan and Algeria will attempt to pick up points for the first time at this World Cup.
When they equalized just after half time, the Jordanians would have been dreaming of delivering something of a sizable upset, but their lead only lasted 26 minutes, with their higher-ranked opponents proving to be too strong as the game reached its climax. The Algerians never came close to seriously pushing the world champions last time out, but they’ll now expect themselves to do much better.
The Algerians are quite strongly fancied by the betting market ahead of this game, and although they lost the first time out, it’s not overly difficult to see why. The best bet may just be ‘Algeria to Score Over 1.5 Goals’.

Jordan - Algeria: Form Analysis
Did we see enough from this Jordan team to suggest that they’ve got a win up their sleeve in the final two group games? Not really. Sure, they scored a goal and got forward with promise on a couple of occasions, but in the end, they were well beaten by an Austrian team that didn’t go beyond third gear. Could they enjoy moments of promise against Algeria? Absolutely. Can they be strong enough to avoid defeat? Unlikely.

The Algerians very nearly took the lead against Argentina, to the point where the creative and dangerous Fares Chaibi had the ball in the net, only to have his celebrations cut short by the offside flag. They then crumbled a bit, but their record in general suggests that they can get the job done against much lesser opposition, as they usually do.

Jordan & Algeria Squad Analysis
Following his goal against Austria, Schalke forward Ali Olwan is expected to once again feature prominently for Jordan, with Noor Al Rawabdeh, who provided the assist for Olwan’s goal, likely to play a leading role for the second game on the spin too. To add experience at the back and guard against mistakes, Saleem Obaid could come into the starting XI.
If he wants his players to get on the front foot and really push for the win, he could turn to creative midfielder Houssem Aouar, while Mohamed Amoura would add pace up top.
We probably shouldn’t expect Algeria head coach Vladimir Petkovic to change too much, even though his team are coming into this game off the back of a defeat. If he wants his players to get on the front foot and really push for the win, he could turn to creative midfielder Houssem Aouar, while Mohamed Amoura would add pace up top.

Our Jordan vs Algeria Prediction
Ahead of the World Cup, we saw this Algerian team shift through the gears to score four goals against Bolivia, delivering a performance that tells us they could very easily score multiple goals against a Jordan team that looked lacking in defensive strength against the Austrians.
After all, Petkovic’s men are up against a team that has conceded two or more goals in each of their last six games. That’s not easy to ignore.
Our Jordan vs Algeria Pick: Algeria to Score Over 1.5 Goals.
