Overview
- Jordan and Algeria play on Monday, June 22 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara with kickoff set for 8 p.m. MST (11 p.m. ET).
- Both sides enter the game without points after Jordan lost 3-1 to Austria and Algeria fell 3-0 to Argentina, making this fixture pivotal for progression hopes.
- Algeria has formally complained to FIFA about Polish referee Szymon Marciniak after a studs-on-calf incident involving Lionel Messi and Aissa Mandi in their opener.
- Team news lists Jordan defender Abdallah Nasib as doubtful, while Algeria will likely keep Luca Zidane in goal and could welcome back attackers Mohamed Amoura and Riyad Mahrez.
- Bookmakers and models favor Algeria to win and U.S. viewers can watch on FS1 (streaming via Fubo), with U.K. coverage on ITV1/ITVX; a loss for either team would leave qualification prospects very thin given the tight Group J standings.
