The situation in Group C of the World Championship in North America ahead of the final match day of the current stage cannot be considered clear-cut. The Brazil national team leads the standings with four points, thanks to a better goal difference than Morocco, which has the same number of points. Third is Scotland, which has three points thanks to a victory over Haiti, who have already been eliminated. In one of the third-round matches, Morocco should easily demonstrate their class over the Haitians, while the Scotland–Brazil fixture promises a lot of interest. On one hand, the favorite here is clear; such status would be hard to confer on a European side. On the other hand, Brazil has so far frightened opponents only with the names of its players. Even Haiti's national team had several scoring chances in the first half of the second half against the five-time champions. In order to take first place in the group, Brazil must beat Scotland. Moreover, if Morocco scores ten goals against Haiti, even a modest Brazil victory would drop Brazil to second place. The first position would give Carlo Ancelotti's side a pleasant opportunity in the Round of 16 to face the third-placed team from another group. Second place would pit them against either the Netherlands or Japan, which seems a comparatively worse outcome. Scotland is most likely to advance to the knockout stage from third place, even if they lose by one or two goals. That said, there is no reason not to challenge Brazil for guaranteed places in the Round of 16. To move above third place, Scotland only needs a win. Despite the defeat against Morocco, the British side left a positive impression, trying to come back until the final seconds of stoppage time. Brazil did not show dominant football in either the first or the second round. Moreover, the team has lost one of its two wide players, Rafinha, who sustained an injury. The absence of a prolific striker could also affect the result of the upcoming match. Let's bet that Scotland will play a worthy game.
