Jordan vs. Algeria - Exact Score

Platform comparison

Active sub-markets

Market context

Jordan and Algeria are meeting in a FIFA World Cup group-stage match, and the contract is about the exact score after 90 minutes plus stoppage time, with extra time and penalties excluded. The current crowd-implied **7% YES** suggests traders see a named scoreline as possible but still clearly secondary to the broader field of “Any Other Score”, which is where exact-score markets usually concentrate when there is no single dominant favourite result.

The comparable pricing reads more like a low-probability longshot than a consensus view of a precise outcome. ESPN’s live odds show Algeria as the match favourite at **-190** on the moneyline, with Jordan at **+550** and the draw at **+330**, while the total is close to level at **over 2.5 +100 / under 2.5 -115**. FOX Sports is similar, listing Algeria at **-186**, Jordan at **+488**, and a goals total of **2.5** shaded only slightly to the under. That combination points to a result range centred on a narrow Algeria win or a low-scoring draw, which tends to fragment exact-score probability across multiple scorelines rather than lifting one contract materially above the rest.

For traders, the main catalysts are the confirmed line-ups, any late injury or rotation news, and whether the match state develops in a way that supports the favourite and the totals market. FIFA’s preview frames this as an all-Arab tie with knockout implications in the group stage, so team selection and motivation matter, especially if either side needs points from the fixture. The market can also stay open if the match is delayed or postponed until it is completed, so the settlement path depends on the match being played to a final whistle within the regulation window.

Methodology

Methodologically we separate two layers: the live probability (Polymarket mid-price) and the platform attributes (fee, KYC, settlement currency, payment rails). The odds column is filled only where we have clean data — that avoids the made-up numbers that get a network demoted when search engines cross-check against the source venue.

Resolution & payout

At resolution the UMA oracle takes over: a proposer posts the outcome with a bond, any token holder can dispute within two hours. Without dispute the result is accepted and the smart contract distributes USDC instantly.

On Kalshi (CFTC-regulated) resolution runs through their in-house clearing engine in USD. Betfair Exchange settles after match end in the account's local currency. Manifold pays no cash — only its in-platform "mana" currency.
