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.

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 17 goal contributions for Napoli so far this season.

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 1/8 to win the group and Morocco’s 1/9 to qualify offer limited value.
