Scotland vs Brazil Preview

Wednesday’s Group C finale at Hard Rock Stadium sees Scotland take on group leaders Brazil, with both sides’ fates still in the balance — Scotland still can qualify while Brazil need only a point to guarantee progress to the knockout stage. Despite the contrasting stakes, this represents a final opportunity for the Tartan Army to extend their tournament with a result against the very best.

Scotland’s most recent outing ended in a 1-0 defeat at home to Morocco on 19th June, a result that made the group a three horse race. Prior to that, they beat Haiti 1-0 away in their tournament opener. Before that, a 4-0 away win over Bolivia in a warm-up friendly. Earlier in this run they beat Curacao 4-1 at home, and in their oldest result here they lost 0-1 at home to Ivory Coast. The Tartan Army have shown flashes of quality throughout this run but a difficult finish to the group leaves them with pride to play for.

Brazil’s most recent outing produced a comfortable 3-0 victory over Haiti on 20th June, a result that puts them firmly in control at the top of Group C. Prior to that, they drew 1-1 at home to Morocco in their previous group fixture. Before that, they beat Egypt 2-1 at home in a friendly. Earlier in this run they thrashed Panama 6-2 at home, and in their oldest result here they beat Croatia 3-1 at home. The Seleção have been ruthless throughout this run and arrive as overwhelming favourites to top the group.

The head-to-head record is overwhelmingly in Brazil’s favour, who have won four of the last five meetings, with one draw and no wins for Scotland. Most recently, Brazil won 2-0 at home in March 2011. In the previous encounter, Brazil also won, 2-1 at home, at the 1998 World Cup.

Brazil sit top of Group C on four points, level with Morocco but ahead on goal difference, while Scotland sit third on three points after their defeat to Morocco. A Brazil win or draw here would confirm progress regardless of the result between Morocco and Haiti, while Scotland will look to produce a shock result given Morocco are expected to beat Haiti in the other fixture.

In the UK, this match is live on BBC One and available to stream via BBC iPlayer. In the United States, viewers can watch on FOX Network or fuboTV. Brazilian fans can follow the action on SBT, Globo or CazéTV, while Scottish supporters can tune in via the usual BBC coverage.
