Defeats on Matchday 1 leave Algeria and Jordan desperate when they face off in Santa Clara on Monday night.
While Algeria was subject to the first World Cup hat-trick of Lionel Messi’s career, Jordan’s maiden goal at this tournament wasn’t enough to keep pressing juggernaut Austria at bay.
Manager Jamal Sellami has insisted his Jordan team still has a "lot to offer" in North America this summer, but its stint will be brief if a result isn’t earned against Les Fennecs. Vladimir Petković is a wily figure on the touchline, but his tenure as Algeria boss will almost certainly be over if the North Africans endure an early exit.
There are holes in Algeria’s roster, but the talent it’s blessed with in forward areas means there‘s an expectation back home that this team should excite, even if it’s appearing at the tournament for the first time since 2014. The upcoming duel against World Cup minnows is the perfect time for the likes of Ibrahim Maza to come to the fore.
Here’s where and how you can watch the match-up between Jordan and Algeria.

What’s Next for Jordan, Algeria?
Jordan’s maiden World Cup will surely conclude at the end of the group stage if it suffers back-to-back defeats. On Matchday 3, Sellami’s side faces titleholders Argentina, who continue to be inspired by Lionel Messi’s magic.
That fixture takes place at AT&T Stadium on June 27, with Algeria facing Austria in what has the makings of a fiercely-competitive tussle in Kansas City. That match could decide who finishes second in Group J.
