Brazil should wrap up top spot in Group C without too much drama. They've collected four points from their opening two games and now face a Scotland side sitting third on three points, needing something from this Miami clash to stay in the hunt for progression as one of the best third-placed teams.
Scotland's recent form shows mixed results in 2026. A 0-1 loss to Morocco on June 19 sits alongside a 1-0 win over Haiti three days earlier, plus comfortable friendly victories against Bolivia and Curaçao. Their expected 4-3-3 features Angus Gunn behind Nathan Patterson, Jack Hendry, Grant Hanley and captain Andy Robertson, with Scott McTominay, Lewis Ferguson and John McGinn in midfield supporting Ryan Christie, Lyndon Dykes and Che Adams up top.
Brazil arrive with their own patchy record lately. A 3-0 win over Haiti on June 19 followed a 1-1 draw with Morocco, after earlier friendly successes against Egypt and a 6-2 thrashing of Panama. Neymar returns from his right calf injury and is expected to start in their 4-2-3-1 alongside Vinicius Junior, with Raphinha carrying a hamstring concern that might limit his impact. Alisson starts in goal, protected by Danilo Luiz, Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhaes and Alex Sandro, while Casemiro and Bruno Guimaraes anchor midfield.
Key men for Scotland include McTominay, McGinn, Robertson and Che Adams, who'll need to produce if they're to trouble a Brazil attack led by Neymar and Vinicius. The standings leave little room for error. Brazil sit first, Morocco second, and Scotland must improve on their current tally or risk early elimination.
