Match preview

Jordan and Algeria meet in Group J of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, a clash between Asian and African sides with contrasting styles. Jordan, under coach Hussein Ammouta, have developed a disciplined, counter-attacking approach, relying on defensive solidity and quick transitions. Key to their game is the creativity of winger Mousa Al-Tamari and the finishing of striker Yazan Al-Naimat. Algeria, led by Djamel Belmadi, boast a more possession-based, fluid attack, with Riyad Mahrez's dribbling and set-piece prowess complemented by the pace of Baghdad Bounedjah and the midfield energy of Ismaël Bennacer. Jordan will look to absorb pressure and hit on the break, while Algeria aim to dominate possession and exploit width. The key battle could be in midfield, where Algeria's technical superiority may be tested by Jordan's work rate. Jordan need a result to keep knockout hopes alive, while Algeria seek to build momentum after their opener. Expect a tense, tactical affair with Algeria slight favorites but Jordan capable of an upset.
