Jordan and Algeria head into their Group J Matchday 2 encounter under immense pressure after both sides suffered disappointing defeats in their opening matches.
With neither team managing to collect a point, this fixture could prove decisive in determining who remains alive in the race for the Round of 32.
Jordan endured a difficult start to their campaign, falling 3-1 to Austria despite showing glimpses of attacking intent. The Jordanians struggled to cope with Austria's movement and quality in the final third, leaving them with plenty to improve before this must-win encounter.
Algeria's opening defeat was even more painful. The Desert Warriors were comprehensively beaten 3-0 by Argentina, with Lionel Messi producing a vintage performance and scoring a sensational hat-trick.
Algeria found it difficult to contain the Argentine captain and now face a situation where another loss could effectively end their hopes of progressing.
With both teams searching for their first points of the tournament, expect a tense and fiercely contested battle.
