Brazil will be aiming take all three points against Haiti in their second World Cup 2026 group game in Philadelphia on Saturday morning after being held to a 1-1 draw by Morocco.
With Scotland topping the group in its early stages, only a win for the Selecao could see them hold the advantage heading into the final group match.
Meanwhile, Haiti were narrowly defeated 1-0 by the Scots in their opener, and will take encouragement from that as they face one of the pre-tournament favourites.

Brazil did not get off to the start they would have hoped as they were held to a draw by Morocco, who recorded more shots than them in the game.
That was the first time in 23 World Cup matches that the Selecao did not have more shots than their opponents, and showed how difficult they found it to break down the Atlas Lions.
A piece of magic from Vinicius Jr earned them a point, but they will like to think they have a better chance of beating Haiti, who rank 77 places below them in the FIFA rankings.
It looks like Carlo Ancelotti will be without top appearance-maker and scorer in the squad Neymar once more, but the Italian may be tempted to make a couple of changes to try and freshen up the team.
As for Haiti, Leverton Pierre has been ruled out of the tournament and was subsequently replaced by Garven Metusala, but Sebastien Migne may be tempted to stick with a similar XI that narrowly lost to Scotland.
It was an impressive performance by Les Grenadiers despite defeat, and interestingly they recorded more shots (15) than anyone else in Group C.
Brazil should be tougher opponents on paper though, and incidentally Haiti have lost the previous H2Hs by an aggregate score of 22-2!
Nonetheless, the Selecao side are perhaps not as strong as the five-time winners of the past, and there have already been some shocks at this World Cup for Haiti to gain spirit from.

Whispers predicts: Brazil 3-1 Haiti
Brazil are strong 1/8 (1.13) favourites to win, but while we agree with the bookies, these odds are too short for us to back.
Instead, BTTS – Yes at 6/4 (2.50) appeals, given Brazil's fragility at the back against Morocco and Haiti's spirited attacking performance against Scotland.
Vinicius Jr was Brazil's saviour against Morocco, and with his individual quality, Vinicius Jr to score anytime at 87/100 (1.87) also appeals.
With 13 goals across their last five internationals and the desperate need to win, the Selecao could fill their boots here and Over 3.5 goals at 10/11 (1.91) could also be worth backing.
Overall, we are predicting a 3-1 Brazil victory, which is available at 12/1 (13.00).
> Vinicius Jr to score anytime at 87/100 (1.87) | Likelihood: Probable
> Over 3.5 goals at 10/11 (1.91) | Likelihood: Probable
> BTTS – Yes at 6/4 (2.50) | Likelihood: Possible
