Jordan vs Algeria Head-to-Head: Record, Stats & Form (Updated June 2026)

Jordan and Algeria meet for what is a genuinely historic occasion: the two sides have no recorded head-to-head history, making their World Cup 2026 fixture on 23 June 2026 a first-ever competitive encounter. Algeria arrive ranked 29th in the world, while Jordan sit at 68th, a gap that underlines the differing trajectories each side has taken into the tournament.

Head-to-Head Record

There are no recorded meetings between Jordan and Algeria in the data available. With no shared history to draw on, the most meaningful lens through which to assess this fixture is each side’s recent form and their standing coming into the World Cup 2026. That context is covered in full below.

Jordan: Recent Form

Jordan’s last six matches tell a story of two distinct phases. Three home draws — against Morocco (2-2), Costa Rica (2-2) and Nigeria (2-2) — were followed by three successive away defeats, conceding nine goals across those three losses against Switzerland (1-4), Colombia (0-2) and Austria (1-3). The overall picture across six matches reads W0 D3 L3, with eight goals scored and 15 conceded. That defensive record — an average of 2.5 goals against per match — is a significant concern, and Jordan have not kept a single clean sheet in this run. They average 1.33 goals scored per match and have managed just 0.5 points per game, failing to score on one occasion.

• vs Austria — Away — 1-3 L (17 Jun 2026)
• vs Colombia — Away — 0-2 L (7 Jun 2026)
• vs Switzerland — Away — 1-4 L (31 May 2026)
• vs Nigeria — Home — 2-2 D (31 Mar 2026)

Algeria: Recent Form

Algeria’s recent form is considerably more encouraging, though it comes with nuance. Their last six matches produced W3 D1 L2, with 12 goals scored and just five conceded — an average of 2.0 goals for and 0.83 against per match. Notably, four of their six matches ended in clean sheets for the Fennec Foxes, a defensive solidity that stands in sharp contrast to Jordan’s recent record. The standout results include a 7-0 home win over Guatemala and a 4-0 away victory against Bolivia, though they also suffered a 0-3 loss to Argentina in their most recent outing. Algeria have accumulated 1.67 points per game across this stretch, though they failed to score in three of the six matches.

• vs Argentina — Away — 0-3 L (17 Jun 2026)
• vs Bolivia — Away — 4-0 W (11 Jun 2026)
• vs Netherlands — Away — 1-0 W (3 Jun 2026)
• vs Guatemala — Home — 7-0 W (27 Mar 2026)

How Jordan and Algeria Compare

The statistical contrast between the two sides is stark. Algeria have been far more defensively organised over their last six matches, conceding fewer than one goal per match on average and keeping clean sheets in four of those six outings, while Jordan have leaked 15 goals in the same number of matches without a single shutout. In attack, Algeria average 2.0 goals per match compared to Jordan’s 1.33, though it is worth noting that Algeria failed to score in three of their six recent fixtures — including a goalless draw with Uruguay and the heavy defeat to Argentina. Jordan, for their part, showed some attacking resilience in their home draws, scoring twice in each of those three matches, but their inability to contain opponents on the road has been a defining feature of their recent run.
