Brazil vs Morocco prediction: I asked ChatGPT who’d win FIFA World Cup 2026 clash; AI picks winner of high-octane tie

Having been crowned champions for the last time in 2002, Brazil seek to end their trophy drought as the Selecao begin their FIFA World Cup 2026 quest against a dangerous Morocco on Sunday at the New York New Jersey Stadium. With a new coach in Carlo Ancelotti at the helm, Brazil have had a perfect build up to this tournament, baring Neymar.

Pressure will be on Ancelotti, as the former Real Madrid manager will look to change Brazil's fortunes this time. The Selecao have made quarterfinal exits in four of their last five editions. With the likes of Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhaes, Vinicius Jr, Raphinha and Matheus Cunha, Brazil look favourites.

For Morocco, things have been turbulent after long-serving coach Walid Regragui stepping down just three months before. The injuries to star players Nayef Aguerd and Abde Ezzalzouli added more to the misery. However, Morocco will take confidence from their semifinal entry in Qatar.
