What is at stake
Brazil were stunned into a 1-1 draw by Morocco, Vinícius Júnior’s goal not enough to avoid a frustrating start that left the favourites bottom of nobody’s expectations but second in the group. Haiti pushed Scotland but lost 1-0, a creditable debut showing without a reward. Brazil need a win to settle nerves and protect their goal difference; Haiti need a miracle to stay in contention, but a competitive display would still mean plenty.
Players to watch
For Brazil, Vinícius Júnior and Rodrygo carry the threat in behind, with Raphinha and Casemiro driving the side from deep. The talent is undeniable; the question is end product after a wasteful opener. For Haiti, Frantzdy Pierrot leads the line and will rely on service from Duckens Nazon, with the game plan built on staying compact and hitting Brazil on the break.
Our Brazil vs Haiti prediction and verdict
Brazil were stung against Morocco and have the firepower to take it out on Haiti, who will struggle to contain Vinícius and Rodrygo for 90 minutes. We expect a much sharper Brazil to win 3-0, rebuilding their goal difference and easing the pressure before a decisive final group game.
