Jordan host Algeria at Levi’s Stadium on Monday, June 22 at 11:00 PM ET \/ 10:00 PM CT \/ 9:00 PM MT \/ 8:00 PM PT, with both nations needing a result to keep their World Cup 2026<\/a> hopes alive after a difficult opening matchday in Group J.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

This is a heavy mismatch on paper. Algeria arrive as a CAF heavyweight stacked with European-based talent — Riyad Mahrez, Amine Gouiri, Mohammed Amoura, Rayan Aït-Nouri — and the betting markets have priced them short at -167 (1.60)<\/strong> with bet365. Jordan, the second-lowest ranked side in their group, are out at +475 (5.75) on the moneyline. Algeria’s squad depth and ceiling sit a tier above what Jordan can muster in San Francisco Bay Area.<\/p>\n\n

Levi’s Stadium is a neutral venue without the elevation challenges some other host cities present, which should suit Algeria’s technical, possession-leaning approach. Below we walk through the picks, the team news, and where the value sits.<\/p>\n\n

Match Result: Algeria to win<\/td>-167 @ bet365<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>Algeria’s European-based core has the edge in quality at every position. Jordan are competitive but a level short.<\/td><\/tr>\n
Correct Score: 0-1 (Algeria win)<\/td>+600 @ bet365<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>Shortest-priced correct score in the market. Jordan typically defend deep against stronger opposition — a single goal often settles these.<\/td><\/tr>\n
Both Teams to Score: No<\/td>-125 @ bet365<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>Jordan struggle to break down compact backlines. Algeria’s back unit, anchored by Mandi and Aït-Nouri, should keep this tidy.<\/td><\/tr>\n
Total Goals: Under 2.5<\/td>-111 @ bet365<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>Algeria the side likelier to score but Jordan happy to sit. Cagey first half likely; a 1-0 or 2-0 grind is the most plausible script.<\/td><\/tr>\n
Anytime Goalscorer: Amine Gouiri<\/td>+140 @ bet365<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>Joint shortest in the market alongside Benbouali and Boulbina. Gouiri’s a senior pick and Algeria’s main central reference.<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
