Jordan vs Algeria Tips
Algeria to Win
Selection: Algeria to Win
Odds: $1.60 (odds subject to change)
Algeria’s 3-0 defeat to Argentina looks worse on paper than it was. They ran into a Lionel Messi masterclass and were facing one of the tournament favourites, but they still showed enough quality through midfield to suggest they can bounce back quickly.
Jordan were competitive against Austria but have now gone six straight matches without a win and have conceded at least two goals in each of those games. Algeria possess more quality across the park and should have too much class in this must-win encounter.
Same Game Multi: Algeria to Win to Nil
Selection: Algeria to Win to Nil
Odds: $2.80 (odds subject to change)
The Desert Warriors defended reasonably well for large periods against Argentina before being punished by elite finishing. Jordan simply do not carry the same attacking threat and may struggle to create clear-cut opportunities if Algeria dominate possession.
Jordan’s defensive issues have been well documented, while Algeria have the technical ability to control the tempo of the match. A professional win without conceding appeals at attractive odds.
Best Value Bet: Riyad Mahrez to Score or Assist 2+ Goals
Selection: Riyad Mahrez to Score or Assist 2+ Goals
Odds: $5.50 (odds subject to change)
Riyad Mahrez remains the heartbeat of this Algerian attack and this feels like the type of game where his quality can take over. With Jordan expected to spend long periods defending, Mahrez should see plenty of the ball in dangerous areas.
Algeria desperately need a result and their captain will likely be heavily involved if they find success going forward. At the current price, there is genuine value in backing Mahrez to make multiple goal contributions.
Alternative Value Play
Selection: Algeria -1.5 Handicap
Odds: $2.60 (odds subject to change)
Jordan have conceded two or more goals in six consecutive matches and face a side that has scored three or more goals in four of its last ten outings. If Algeria click in attack, a multi-goal victory is well within reach.
Best Bet
Algeria to Win @ $1.60
Algeria face enormous pressure after their opening defeat, but they remain the stronger side on paper and should have enough class and experience to secure all three points.
A win would put Algeria firmly back in the race for the knockout rounds and keep Group J wide open heading into the final matchday.
