Jordan vs Algeria – Predicted lineup and team news

Jordan head into Tuesday’s early-hours fixture at San Francisco Bay Area Stadium looking to claim their first-ever World Cup points.

The tournament debutants earned widespread praise for pushing Austria to the limit on matchday one, remaining level until the 76th minute before an own goal and a stoppage-time penalty sealed a 3-1 defeat.

Jamal Sellami will demand greater defensive discipline tonight — conceding multiple goals has been a recurring problem across Jordan’s last six matches — but there is no shortage of belief in the camp after a spirited opening display.

Sellami faces a late fitness call on defender Abdallah Nasib, who was forced off in the 81st minute against Austria and faces an assessment ahead of kick-off. His absence could disrupt the three-man defensive structure, though Sellami has options to reshuffle the backline if needed. Yazan Al Arab and Mohammad Abualnadi are expected to continue regardless.

In midfield, Noor Al Rawabdeh and Nizar Al Rashdan provide the energy and defensive cover, with Ehsan Haddad holding his wing-back position on the right. Ali Olwan carries Jordan’s attacking threat with full confidence after scoring his country’s historic first World Cup goal — his 30th international strike. Musa Al Taamari adds pace and creativity alongside him.
