Scotland vs Brazil FIFA World Cup clash: Where to watch live, probable XI and prediction

Five-time champions Brazil will lock horns against Scotland in a Group C encounter at the 2026 FIFA World Cup at the Miami Stadium on Wednesday. Brazil just need to avoid loss against Scotland, as a win or even a draw would help them secure qualification for the knockout stages.

Should Brazil lose to Scotland, they will remain on four points and Scotland would overtake them in the standings with six points.

Should Morocco beat or draw against Haiti in the other match, then the Selecao will drop to third place with four points, which should be enough for them to qualify given that they have a healthy goal difference.

Scotland, too, can afford to draw against Brazil in order to qualify for the round of 32. A win over Brazil will confirm their top-two spot in the Group C standings.
