Jordan and Algeria are both on 0 points, so this is a must-win game for both sides, with the hunger for points at full intensity. Algeria boast a host of Europe-based players led by Riyad Mahrez, and they have been scoring freely in warm-up matches, showing plenty of attacking firepower. Jordan’s defense has huge weaknesses, conceding at least two goals in each of their last six matches, while injury concerns at center-back make it difficult for them to withstand high-intensity pressure. If Jordan want to get a result, they will have to rely on counterattacks, and Orouan has been in good scoring form lately. Both teams have reliable scoring options. Previous meetings have often produced high-scoring affairs, and neither side is likely to sit back and defend cautiously in pursuit of qualification. The game should see end-to-end action with plenty of space for goals, so the lean here is toward over 2.5 goals. For reference only, as there could still be plenty of twists and turns on the day.
