Nizar Mahmoud Al-Rashdan’s early goal was not enough as Algeria came from behind to beat Jordan 2-1 in the World Cup, with the standout player being the Jordanian midfielder who struck first before the North Africans turned the tie around to set up a meeting with Switzerland next. Algeria controlled large spells but needed a second-half response to avoid an upset against a stubborn Jordan side.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who will win the World Cup match between Jordan and Algeria?
Algeria are the clear favourites. CheckLive's analysis gives them a 66% win expectation based on superior form, a massive mental edge, and a strong recent run. Jordan's winless streak and defensive issues make an upset unlikely.
Which team has better form entering this match?
Algeria have the better form, winning three of their last five and scoring 12 goals. Jordan are winless in five, losing three and drawing two. Algeria's momentum and confidence are far higher.
Will both teams score in the Jordan vs Algeria match?
It is unlikely both teams score given Algeria's defence has conceded only three in five games, while Jordan's attack has managed just six goals in the same stretch. Algeria's control should limit Jordan's chances.
