Monday's Best 2026 World Cup Picks & Predictions: Jordan vs. Algeria
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Jordan (+500) vs. Algeria (-180), DRAW (+330) | O/U 2.5 (-115/-110)
Neither Jordan (0-0-1) nor Algeria (0-0-1) got their World Cup journeys off to a good start, each losing its opening match. The duo will square off on Monday at 11:00 p.m. ET from Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, CA.
I'll back Algeria to break into the win column on Monday night. Give me Algeira -1 on the alt spread. With Austria on the horizon and Argentina in the rearview, this may be Algeria's best chance to secure a victory in the 2026 World Cup. I think they'll take advantage of the opportunity.
Ultimately, I really have no trust in Jordan. They are winless across their last six matches, going 0-2-4 during the stretch. They've conceded multiple goals in all six of those matches. Considering Jordan can't keep the ball out of its net, I think there's a good chance Algeria stretches out a multi-goal victory. I'll predict 2-0 in Algeria’s favor.
Bet: Algeria -1 (-110)
