Match preview

Scotland face Brazil in Group C of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, a clash between a resurgent Scottish side and the perennial favourites. Scotland, under Steve Clarke, have built a reputation for defensive solidity and counter-attacking efficiency. Their qualification campaign was marked by disciplined performances, with key contributions from midfielders like John McGinn and Scott McTominay. However, they will need to be at their best to contain Brazil's attacking firepower. Brazil, now led by Dorival Júnior, boast a wealth of talent including Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo, and the creative force of Lucas Paquetá. Their style is fluid and aggressive, often overwhelming opponents with pace and technical ability. Scotland's best chance lies in staying compact and exploiting set-pieces, while Brazil will look to dominate possession and break down the Scottish defence early. This match is crucial for both sides: Scotland aim to prove they can compete with the elite, while Brazil seek to assert their dominance in the group. Expect a tactical battle with moments of individual brilliance.
