Group C Preview - Brazil, Morocco, Scotland and Haiti
Morocco stands out as one of the best value picks to win any of the twelve World Cup groups this summer.
Brazil are short-priced favourites at just 1.17, but that looks far too skinny in a group featuring the tough-to-beat AFCON champions, a returning Scotland and outsiders Haiti.
The Atlas Lions have already proven their quality on the world stage after reaching the semi-finals in Qatar four years ago, and they remain one of the most tactically sound sides in the tournament.
Brazil, who have not reached a semi-final since their home humiliation against Germany 12 years ago, have yet to impress under Carlo Ancelotti, but with Neymar back in an attack-minded selection, will have plenty of backers this summer.
Let’s have a closer look at Group C.
Brazil
- FIFA Ranking: 6
- Manager: Carlo Ancelotti
- Odds to Win Group B: 1.17
Five-time World Cup winners Brazil are massive odds-on favourites to win Group C, but their price reflects history more than recent form.
An uninspiring qualifying campaign included six defeats and only eight wins from 18 matches in the CONMEBOL section. Friendly defeats against Japan and France offered little encouragement, although the vastly experienced Carlo Ancelotti will still be expected to guide Brazil safely through the group.
The Italian boss has a wealth of attacking talent available. Ancelotti named nine forwards in his 26-man squad, including all-time top scorer Neymar and Premier League forwards Gabriel Martinelli, Rayan, Igor Thiago and Matheus Cunha.
Neymar's surprise return is the headline story, but at 34, and having not scored for his country since 2023, it remains to be seen how much influence he will have stateside.
Despite several question marks, Brazil should qualify with little trouble, but they could find themselves usurped for top spot by an impressive Morocco side.
Morocco
- FIFA Ranking: 8
- Manager: Mohamed Ouahbi
- Odds to Win Group B: 7.0
Morocco head to the USA as one of the tournament’s dark horses after their superb run to the semi-finals in Qatar four years ago.
The Atlas Lions were forced into a surprise managerial change in March following the departure of Walid Regragui, with Mohamed Ouahbi now in charge of a side that has lost just one of their last 43 internationals since January 2024.
Shock victories against Portugal, Spain and Belgium in Qatar underlined Morocco’s ability to compete with the elite sides on the biggest stage. More recently, they are unbeaten in 27 games since August last year.
Despite the coaching change, Morocco remain compact, disciplined and dangerous on the counter-attack. With so much game time together over the past 12 months, the Atlas Lions boast a club-like atmosphere, while the addition of Brahim Diaz to their attacking ranks should give them increased firepower in the final third.
Overpriced at 7.0 to win the group, Ouahbi’s side are capable of troubling Brazil in their opening fixture on June 13. They will also be confident of seeing off spirited Scottish and Haitian challenges.
Scotland
- FIFA Ranking: 42
- Manager: Steve Clarke
- Odds to Win Group B: 13.0
Scotland return to the World Cup for the first time since 1998 with a realistic chance of qualification for the knockout phase, but their opening game against Haiti will prove crucial.
A stunning 4-2 win against Denmark secured Scotland's place in the Americas, and they should have enough quality to at least see off section outsiders Haiti.
Steve Clarke’s men flattered to deceive at times during qualifying, but lost just one of six matches against Denmark, Greece and Belarus. Physically strong and good on the ball, Scotland are expected to be compact, physical and dangerous from wide deliveries, second balls and set pieces.
Scott McTominay, John McGinn and Andy Robertson remain crucial members of a squad that, while lacking in depth, is not short of spirit or experience.
With Ben Doak emerging as Scotland’s brightest young hope, Clarke’s men will be dangerous on the counter-attack and, while unlikely to finish in the top two, could prove awkward opponents, particularly for Morocco, who also do much of their best work in transition.
A final fixture against Brazil in a sweltering Miami will evoke memories of tournaments gone by. Scotland and Brazil previously met at the 1974, 1982, 1990 and 1998 World Cups, and this summer’s clash should provide one of the more colourful atmospheres in the United States.
Haiti
- FIFA Ranking: 83
- Manager: Sébastien Migne
- Odds to Win Group B: 100.0
Haiti return to the World Cup for the first time since 1974, but their task looks stiff in a section containing two of the world’s top-ten-ranked sides.
Back on the global stage after a 50-year absence, Haiti impressed in qualification, topping their Concacaf group two points clear of Honduras.
Sebastien Migne’s side are expected to use a compact 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2 shape, focusing on defensive organisation and quick transitions. Massive underdogs, and the second-lowest-ranked nation at the finals, Haiti (83rd in the FIFA rankings) will fancy their chances of unsettling a potentially nervy Scotland side in their opening fixture.
While short in big names, Wilson Isidor, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Duckens Nazon and Louicius Deedson offer pace and power, but their lack of international experience could be their undoing.
A June 13th opener against Scotland in Boston gives Haiti their best chance to pick up points in a demanding section.
