Ralf Rangnick's team holds the advantage, with a goal difference of zero thanks to a 3-1 win over Jordan and a 2-0 defeat against Argentina. To keep second place in the group, this team only needs a draw, while Algeria can also accept the same result to get 4 points and likely continue as one of the third-ranked teams with the best results.
