Teams
Group Analysis
Group C is headlined by five-time champions Brazil alongside Haiti, Morocco, and Scotland. Brazil arrive as one of the title favorites despite the 2022 disappointment, with a young, dynamic squad. Morocco, fresh from their historic 2022 semi-final, will look to repeat the feat. Scotland return to the World Cup for the first time since 1998 with a passionate traveling support. Haiti make their first appearance since 1974, one of the lowest-ranked teams at the tournament.
Favorites to Advance
- Brazil (talent depth, tournament pedigree)
- Morocco (2022 semi-final, experience)
Dark Horses
- Scotland (tactical discipline, Robertson)
- Haiti (defensive organization)
Predictions
1. Brazil, 2. Morocco, 3. Scotland, 4. Haiti. Brazil should top the group with the quality of their attacking options, while Morocco's experience and the leadership of Hakimi will be enough for second. Scotland will be competitive but face a tough task to advance.
Head-to-Head History
Brazil and Morocco have met once at the World Cup, in 2022 group stage, with Brazil winning 2-1. Brazil and Scotland have never met at the tournament. Morocco and Scotland have never met at the World Cup.
