Jordan Betting Preview

Jordan comes into this match after they lost to Austria by a score of 3-1 in their first game. Jordan tied the game at one in the 50th minute, but they allowed goals in the 76th minute and 12th minute of stoppage time for the loss. Jordan recorded 11 total shots, four shots on target, and had 37% of the possession in the game. Jordan got their goal from Olwan, while he added two shots on target and Abulaila made one save in goal.

Jordan comes into the World Cup ranked 65th in the latest official FIFA rankings and they lost to Colombia by a score of 2-0 prior to this tournament. In that loss, Jordan allowed a goal in the 41st minute and another in the 55th minute for the defeat. Jordan recorded 10 total shots, two shots on target, and had 36% of the possession. Jordan has played three other friendlies this year: a 4-1 loss to Switzerland, a 2-2 draw with Nigeria, and a 2-2 draw with Costa Rica. 

Algeria Betting Preview

Algeria comes into this match after they lost to Argentina by a score of 3-0 in their opening game. Algeria trailed 1-0 at halftime and they allowed goals in the 60th minute and 76th minute in the second half for the lopsided loss. Algeria recorded seven total shots, zero shots on target, and had 52% of the possession in the game. Algeria was led by Chaibi, who had three total shots, while Zidane made three saves in net. 

Algeria comes into the World Cup ranked 27th in the latest official FIFA rankings and they defeated Bolivia by a score of 4-0 prior to this tournament. In that win, Algeria led 1-0 at halftime and scored three goals in the span of five minutes in the second half to pull away. Algeria has played three other friendlies this year: a 1-0 win against Netherlands, a 0-0 draw with Uruguay, and a 7-0 win over Guatemala. 

Jordan vs Algeria Prediction

Both of these teams come into this match with zero points in Group J, so both teams desperately need a win here. Algeria had decent possession numbers against Argentina, but couldn’t get any shots on target. Jordan did score a goal against Austria, but only had the ball 37% of the time and did allow three goals. Algeria is the better team in this game and I think they will pull away in the second half, as Jordan has allowed 2+ goals in five straight matches. Take Algeria -1.5 here.
