Head to Head

Brazil have the advantage over Scotland, with four victories to none, including one draw in five meetings.

Scotland Form

Scotland dropped crucial points in their bid to reach the knockout rounds of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, losing 1-0 to Morocco last weekend.

The Boys in Blue had 40% possession and six shots in the game, with six attempts on target.

Before that disappointing result, Scotland started their group stage campaign with a narrow 1-0 victory over Haiti.

The Tartan Army have won three of their last five fixtures, with two defeats. They scored nine goals and conceded three.

Scotland must win their final group game, as they are on three points after two matches, one point behind Morocco and Brazil. However, they have a poor record against their opponents, losing all four clashes.

Brazil Form

Brazil returned to winning ways in their Group C match against minnows Haiti last weekend, winning by three goals to nil.

The Canarinha had 57% possession and nine shots in the game, with five attempts on target.

Before that performance, Brazil did not have the best start to their FIFA World Cup campaign, drawing 1-1 with Morocco.

The Selecao have recorded four victories in their last five fixtures, with one draw. They scored 15 goals and conceded five.

Brazil got their campaign back on track in their previous match, and will start confidently against Scotland to secure another three points, as they are unbeaten in their last five matches and have never suffered a defeat against their opponents.
