Jordan took an important lead in the 36th minute thanks to Nizar Al-Rashdan’s goal. Algeria pressed hard, controlling possession and threatening through Riyad Mahrez but couldn’t convert before halftime. Ramiz Zerrouki received a yellow card for Algeria just before the break.
No substitutions occurred in the first half. Jordan’s Abdallah Nasib is a slight concern due to a knock, while Algeria might bring on Houssem Aouar or Anis Hadj Moussa to boost their attack after halftime.
Current Standings in Group J
Jordan deploy a 3-4-2-1 formation. Yazeed Abulaila guards the goal behind defenders Saed Al-Rosan, Yazan Abu Al-Arab, and Mo Abualnadi. Wing-backs Noor Al-Rawabdeh and Ehsan Haddad support midfielders Nizar Al Rashdan and Mohannad Abu Taha. Upfront, Mousa Tamari, Ali Iyad Olwan, and Odeh Fakhouri lead the attack.

Recent Form
Jordan come into this match without a win in five games: two draws and three defeats. Their last outing was a 3-1 loss to Austria. Prior results include draws against Nigeria and Costa Rica, plus losses to Colombia and Switzerland. They scored seven goals but conceded thirteen in that span.
Algeria have won three, drawn one, and lost one in their previous five matches. Apart from a 3-0 defeat to Argentina, they secured big wins over Bolivia and Guatemala and held Uruguay to a goalless draw. They netted twelve goals while conceding three.
Kits and Colors
Jordan will wear their home white kit featuring red diamond patterns on the sleeves inspired by the traditional keffiyeh scarf. The shorts and socks are white with subtle red accents, creating a clean look.
Algeria sport their green away strip with dark green sleeves and red trim. The jersey displays the Algerian flag crest on the chest and Arabic calligraphy on the back of the neck. Shorts and socks match the darker green shade.
What’s at Stake
Both teams face a must-win scenario. Victory pushes the winner to three points, matching Austria and Argentina, keeping hopes alive for the knockout stage. A draw leaves them with one point each, making qualification tough but not impossible if other results go their way. A loss could put either side on the brink of elimination.
