2026 World Cup Group C predictions, tips & odds

Brazil, one of the tournament's favourites, began their 2026 World Cup campaign with a disappointing performance in Group C. The Selecao's hope of winning the group was dashed after their opening game, as they drew with Morocco and fell to third place.

However, they bounced back in their second game against Haiti, securing a victory that took them to the top of the standings above the Atlas Lions, who also defeated Scotland.

The Selecao sealed their top position in Group C with a comfortable win over Scotland in their third game, while Morocco maintained their second spot with a win over Haiti.

Following Brazil and Morocco's victories, they secured automatic tickets to the Round of 32, with seven points respectively, while Scotland remained in third position and Haiti in fourth place.

The Scottish team, despite coming third in their group, were eliminated from the tournament after failing to make the list of the eight teams to qualify for the knockout stage.

2026 World Cup Group C prediction and betting angles

Brazil

Brazil arrived with one of the strongest squads in the tournament, despite finishing fifth in CONMEBOL qualifying.

However, they failed to live up to expectations in their first game against Morocco, as the Atlas Lions held them to a 1-1 draw.

In their second game, the Selecao showed why they are one of the favourites to win the tournament, after thrashing Haiti 3-0 to go top of the standings.

They went on to build on their win over Haiti in their third game, defeating Scotland 3-0 to maintain their top position in Group C.

Following the victory, they fulfilled what the bookmakers predicted by reaching the Round of 32 and also topping their group.

Morocco

Morocco entered the tournament as Africa’s highest‑ranked side and arguably one of the most consistent national teams of the past four years.

Their 2022 World Cup semi‑final run demonstrated their ability to compete with elite nations, and they followed that with a perfect qualifying record, with eight wins from eight.

With the hope of replicating their 2022 World Cup performance, the Atlas Lions kick-started their campaign by gaining the first point for Africa after holding the five-time world champions to a draw.

The draw boosted their confidence, which they carried into their second game against Scotland, where they won 1-0 to move up to second place in the table.

They secured their second position on the table and sealed an automatic spot alongside Brazil, following their 4-2 victory over Haiti in their third group game

With seven points, they placed second in Group C, fulfilling the qualification prediction of the bookmakers.

Scotland

Scotland returned to the World Cup for the first time since 1998 after a strong qualifying campaign, winning their group ahead of Denmark, despite them being 42nd in the FIFA rankings.

Following their 28-year return, Scotland began their World Cup campaign with a narrow 1-0 victory over Haiti, having returned to the competition after 52 years.

The victory puts them at the top of the standings in Group C, but they dropped to third position after losing to Morocco in the second round.

They failed to bounce back from the defeat to Morocco and stumbled to another 3-0 loss to Brazil in their final group game.

The loss saw them fail to secure an automatic spot, ending the group stage game in third place, but their points were not enough to qualify via the list of best losers.

With eight best-loser spots still up for grabs, the bookmakers still give Scotland a chance to qualify, but it now depends on points from other groups.

Haiti

Haiti made their second World Cup appearance and their first since 1974. They qualified ahead of Costa Rica and Honduras, two established regional sides.

However, they started their World Cup campaign with a 1-0 loss to Scotland, making their qualification hopes a fantasy.

Their chances of making it to the next round were further reduced after being thrashed 3-0 in their second game by Brazil.

All hope were lost in their final group game, when they suffered a 4-2 defeat to Morocco, leaving them rooted at the bottom of the table.

The bookmakers already predicted that they would be eliminated, and their prediction were on point after failing to secure any points in Group C.

Group C best bets

Brazil and Morocco are already through to the knockout stage, while Scotland, despite their effort to get to the best losers' list, were knocked out of the World Cup.
