SOUTH AMERICAN DOMINANCE BECKONS

Brazil and Morocco\nFight for Supremacy

Group C pits two of Africa and South America's finest against each other, with Scotland and Haiti battling for scraps.

FAVOURITE — BrazilDARK HORSE — MoroccoWATCH — Brazil v MoroccoOUTSIDERS — Scotland, Haiti

Brazil enter as clear favourites, anchored by world-class midfield depth: Casemiro's poise, Bruno Guimarães' energy, and the attacking threat of Vinícius Júnior, Raphinha and young starlet Endrick. Under Ancelotti's proven hand, they should navigate this group with authority, though their defensive credentials remain a question mark.

Morocco will offer the stiffest resistance, boasting a compact defence marshalled by Mazraoui and Aguerd, with En-Nesyri's physicality leading the line and Sofyan Amrabat's midfield craft. Scotland arrive with genuine Premier League and European pedigree—Robertson, McTominay, McGinn—but lack the elite finishing power to truly threaten the top two. Haiti, ranked 83rd, are the group's clear underdogs.
