Jordan vs. Algeria - Head-to-head record

Jordan and Algeria meet in a World Cup clash that offers little in terms of direct historical rivalry. There are no extensive head-to-head records to analyse for past trends, besides one friendly game that ended in a draw (1-1) more than 20 years ago.

For this game, the outcome is more likely to depend entirely on how players adapt on the day and on their performances in the tournament so far.

Jordan - In desperate need of points

Following a difficult start to their World Cup campaign, Jordan are under pressure to secure a positive result against Algeria. We will now take a closer look at their current form, analyse their recent performances and tactical approach. We will also preview the expected Jordan vs. Algeria line-ups for this crucial group stage match.

Recent form

Jordan began their World Cup 2026 campaign with a challenging 3-1 defeat to Austria in the group stage. This loss extends their difficult run, as they are now winless in their last six international matches. Before the tournament, they also lost friendlies against Colombia and Switzerland.

This winless streak is concerning, particularly after a successful Arab Cup 2025 where Jordan reached the final, beating Saudi Arabia and Iraq. Their form has since dipped, with draws against Nigeria and Costa Rica marking their only positive results before this World Cup fixture.

Despite recent results, Jordan has an almost fully available squad (only Sabra is missing). Attacker Ali Olwan, who scored their sole World Cup goal, and creative midfielder Noor Al-Rawabdeh, who assisted it, are key figures. Mousa Al-Tamari’s performance will be vital as they aim to break their winless run and keep their tournament hopes alive.

Results of the last five matches

Probable line-up for Jordan

Abulaila; Haddad, Al-Arab, Abualnadi, Nasib; Al-Rawabdeh,  Al-Rashdan, Abu Taha; Fakhouri, Al-Tamari, Olwan.

Manager: Jamal Sellami.

Algeria - Looking to bounce back

Let’s analyse Algeria’s current situation. We will review the team’s momentum, their expectations, and the standout players for this crucial World Cup group stage match.

Recent form

Algeria’s World Cup campaign began with a 3-0 loss to Argentina, ending a strong run of 14 wins in their last 21 international matches. They had previously secured notable friendly victories against Bolivia and the Netherlands, highlighting their attacking prowess.

Their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations run ended in the quarter-finals against Nigeria, providing valuable tournament experience for the current World Cup group stage. Crucially, Algeria boasts a fully fit squad with no reported injuries, a significant advantage for this important match.

Facing immense pressure, Algeria will rely on key players, such as Riyad Mahrez, to spark a reversal of fortune. A win in the Jordan vs. Algeria encounter is essential to keep their World Cup aspirations alive. Therefore, expect an attacking approach as they aim to score and revive their campaign.

Results of the last five matches

Probable line-up for Algeria

Zidane; Mandi, Bensebaini, Belaid; Ait-Nouri, Zerrouki, Boudaoui, Belghali; Gouiri, Mahrez, Maza.

Manager: Vladimir Petkovic.
