Scotland vs Brazil — match preview
Scotland meet Brazil in Group C of the 2026 World Cup. Passionate, well-drilled Scots ending a long wait, dangerous on set pieces.
Brazil arrive with their own plan. Five-time winners under Ancelotti — more structured, still loaded with attacking talent. The match-up between Scott McTominay and Vinícius Júnior is the headline individual battle.
On paper Brazil have the stronger squad, but World Cup group games are rarely straightforward — the underdog only needs one moment, and the favourite carries the pressure of expectation.
