2026 World Cup Group C predictions, tips & odds

Group C at the 2026 World Cup features one of the tournament’s strongest favourites in Brazil.

Morocco and Scotland are positioned closely behind in what should be a competitive race for qualification, while Haiti complete the group as the clear outsiders, but their route to the finals shows they are capable of troubling opponents.

Football Whispers breaks down Group C in full, including fixtures, latest odds and predictions.

Group C winners odds

• Brazil – 1/5
• Morocco – 5/1
• Scotland – 12/1
• Haiti – 100/1

Brazil’s price reflects their status as overwhelming favourites, while Morocco and Scotland sit in a realistic battle for second place. That being said, Morocco come to this World Cup as the first African nation ever to make it to the WC semis four years ago, along with being the current AFCON winners, even though that win was awarded to them after the final, which they lost, by the Confederation of African Football (CAF). So, they are the dark horse of the group and could easily finish ahead of Brazil, who had struggled a bit during the qualifiers.

Group C qualification odds

• Brazil – 1/66
• Morocco – 1/9
• Scotland – 2/7
• Haiti – 9/1

Based on these odds, Brazil are expected to progress comfortably, while Morocco hold an edge for second, and Scotland remain close enough to mount a challenge. Haiti face a tough ask to pick up points and their chances of progressing, even as one of the best third-placed teams, are slim at best (eight of 12 third-placed teams will qualify for the knockout stages).

2026 World Cup Group C prediction and betting angles

Brazil

Brazil arrive with one of the deepest squads in the tournament, even if they no longer lean on a single marquee figure in the form of Neymar.

Their attacking options include Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo, Raphinha, Matheus Cunha and rising talent Estevão, giving them multiple profiles across the front line. At the back, Marquinhos and Gabriel Magalhães form a proven partnership at European level, while the midfield is built around players operating in Europe’s top leagues.

Brazil finished fifth in CONMEBOL qualifying, which is a reminder that they are still developing under the astute new management of Carlo Ancelotti, but their talent level remains significantly above the rest of the group.

Morocco

Morocco enter the tournament as Africa’s highest‑ranked side and arguably remain 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.

The core members in the squad are spread across Europe’s major leagues, with strength in every line. For example, Achraf Hakimi remains one of the world’s most complete full‑backs and offers a major outlet on the right flank.

That being said, Morocco were involved in the AFCON drama earlier this year, when they were declared the winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations after CAF overturned the final result, awarding them a 3-0 default victory over Senegal. Morocco originally lost to Senegal 1-0 in January, but in March, they were awarded the title because Senegal walked off the pitch in protest before returning to the game.

Even though Morocco were on the “winning” side of this incident, it caused a ripple effect that led to their manager, Walid Regragui, resigning, leaving the new manager, Mohamed Ouahbi, in a tough position to get the team ready for the World Cup with only a few months at the helm.

Scotland

Scotland return to the World Cup for the first time since 1998 after a strong qualifying campaign, winning their group ahead of Denmark, despite them being 23 places in front of them in the FIFA rankings.

Their squad blends Premier League and Serie A experience, with Andy Robertson, John McGinn and Scott McTominay forming the core of the side. McTominay has been one of Europe’s most productive midfielders, not only scoring for his nation but also heading into the summer with 18 goal contributions for Napoli across all competitions.

Scotland’s challenge will be turning competitive performances into results against a pair of higher‑ranked opponents.

Haiti

Haiti make their second World Cup appearance and their first since 1974. They qualified ahead of Costa Rica and Honduras, two established regional sides, which underlines their progress in recent years.

The squad features players based across Europe and North America, including Wilson Isidor, who has provided attacking depth since joining the national team setup, and Wolves star Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, who became the first Haitian international to appear in the Premier League.

Based on their odds, they face a mountain to climb from Gameweek 1.

Group C best bets

No bets advised, as Brazil’s 1/5 to win the group and Morocco’s 1/9 to qualify offer limited value. However, we do believe that Morocco can finish at the top of the group, ahead of Brazil, which has a nice value at 5/1 odds. Obviously, it is a long shot given Brazil's quality and reputation, but it could be worth a punt on a small bet.
