World Cup 2026 Group C Odds : Brazil, Morocco, Scotland and Haiti

Group C is one of the most intriguing sections of the 2026 World Cup.

Brazil are the heavy favourites and will be desperate to end a 24-year wait for a sixth World Cup triumph, but Morocco are a genuine threat to their dominance of the group and Scotland have a very real chance of making history by reaching the knockout rounds for the first time ever.

Haiti complete the group, making their first World Cup appearance since 1974, and their presence gives the other three sides a winnable game that could prove critical when it comes to goal difference and the race for third-place qualification.

Team	FIFA Ranking	To Win Group	To Qualify
Brazil	5th	4/7	1/20
Morocco	14th	3/1	4/7
Scotland	39th	9/1	7/4
Haiti	83rd	40/1	9/1

Group C Fixtures and Schedule

Here is the full fixture schedule for Group C:

• 13 June, 11pm: Brazil vs Morocco, MetLife Stadium, New Jersey
• 14 June, 2am: Haiti vs Scotland, Gillette Stadium, Boston
• 19 June, 11pm: Scotland vs Morocco, MetLife Stadium, New Jersey
• 20 June, 1:30am: Brazil vs Haiti, SoFi Stadium, Los Angeles
• 24 June, 11pm: Morocco vs Haiti, MetLife Stadium, New Jersey
• 24 June, 11pm: Scotland vs Brazil, Gillette Stadium, Boston

The opening night fixture between Brazil and Morocco on 13 June is one of the standout games of the entire group stage. A Brazil win sets the group up as expected, but a Morocco victory or even a draw would throw the whole section wide open.

Scotland’s opening game against Haiti on 14 June is the one Steve Clarke’s side simply must win. Three points there would give Scotland a platform to build from ahead of the much harder tests against Morocco and Brazil to come.

The final matchday is fascinating. Scotland against Brazil in Boston while Morocco face Haiti simultaneously could produce a dramatic finish if Scotland have already qualified and Brazil need a win to secure top spot.

Brazil: Desperate to End a 24-Year Wait

Brazil have not won the World Cup since 2002, and the pressure on Carlo Ancelotti’s side to end that drought is enormous. The Italian became Brazil’s first ever foreign head coach, a decision that caused considerable debate in the country, and he has made some bold squad selections that have divided opinion further.

Including a 34-year-old Neymar ahead of younger talent raised eyebrows, though Neymar is carrying a calf injury and his availability for the opening stages of the tournament remains in doubt. The real attacking threat comes from Vinicius Junior, Raphinha and Rodrygo, who give Brazil a front line of genuine world-class quality when they are all fit and firing.

In defence, Gabriel Magalhaes and Marquinhos provide a solid spine, and Ancelotti has focused heavily on tightening up the back line after Brazil’s inconsistent qualifying campaign in CONMEBOL, where they finished fifth of the six automatic qualifiers and suffered six defeats in 18 games.

Brazil are 4/7 to win the group, which is shorter than their recent form perhaps warrants. They dropped points in each of their last four World Cup finals groups, and Morocco on the opening night will not be an easy opponent. At 4/7 there is limited value, and the smarter play is to look at the group winner market after the opening round of fixtures.

Morocco: The Biggest Threat to Brazil

Morocco reached the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, becoming the first African nation to do so in the tournament’s history. That run was built on extraordinary defensive resilience and the ability to grind out results in high-pressure knockout games, and Walid Regragui has kept much of that squad together heading into 2026.

Achraf Hakimi is the standout name in their squad and one of the best full-backs in the world, capable of driving forward and creating danger from deep. In front of him, the Moroccan midfield is disciplined and hard to play through, and they will not give Brazil or Scotland easy passages through the middle of the pitch.

Their opening game against Brazil is the one the neutrals will want to see. Morocco proved in Qatar that they are not afraid of big occasions, and if they can take something from that game, their chances of qualifying from the group improve significantly. They are 3/1 to win the group and 4/7 to qualify, and the qualification price looks fair given their squad quality and recent tournament pedigree.

Scotland: Can They Finally Make History?

Scotland are back at a World Cup for the first time since France 1998, and they have never made it out of the group stage in any of their eight previous tournament appearances. The 7/4 to qualify looks genuinely appealing, because Scotland are in a position where winning the Haiti game and picking up a point against Morocco could be enough to go through as a third-placed side.

Steve Clarke has built one of the most organised and difficult-to-beat sides in Scotland’s history. They topped their UEFA qualifying group with eight wins from eight matches, which is a remarkable record, and they have the defensive structure to keep things tight against better opposition.

Andy Robertson provides quality and experience at left-back, Scott McTominay and John McGinn give them drive and goals from midfield, and the squad has more technical quality than previous Scotland generations. The challenge is converting that into results when the stakes are highest, which has historically been Scotland’s stumbling block.

The Haiti game on 14 June is non-negotiable. Scotland need to win it, and win it well enough to give themselves a positive goal difference heading into the later fixtures. After that, a point against Morocco on 19 June would put them in a very strong position for third-place qualification.

Haiti: World Cup Returnees

Haiti are making their first World Cup appearance since 1974 and only their second in history, which is a remarkable achievement given the political and social instability the country has faced over the past decade.

They are 40/1 to win the group and realistically are not expected to progress, but they will not simply roll over. Haiti qualified through the Concacaf region and have shown they can be organised and competitive. Getting a result against any of Brazil, Morocco or Scotland would be a major achievement, but they will give everything they have across all three games.

Key Players to Watch

Vinicius Junior is the player everyone in Group C will be trying to stop. The Real Madrid forward is electric at his best, capable of changing a game in an instant with his pace and directness. If Brazil get him into space in behind defences, the goals will come.

Achraf Hakimi for Morocco is another one to watch closely. He is as effective going forward as he is defensively, and his threat from right-back gives Morocco an extra dimension that opposition teams struggle to account for across a full game.

For Scotland, Scott McTominay is the player the Tartan Army will be counting on for big moments. He scored the bicycle kick goal against Denmark that secured Scotland’s place at this tournament, and he has the ability to produce something special when it matters most.

Group C Betting Tips

Scotland to qualify at 7/4 is the standout bet in this group. The expanded format means three points and a reasonable goal difference could be enough, and Scotland are in a strong position to get that from the Haiti game alone. At 7/4 there is genuine value given their recent qualifying form and the favourable draw they have received.

Morocco to win the group at 3/1 is worth a small interest for those who think they can repeat their Qatar heroics. Their opening game against Brazil is a 50/50 in many analysts’ eyes, and a Morocco win there would make them strong favourites to top the section.
