FIFA World Cup 2026 Group C betting guide: Brazil, Morocco, Scotland & Haiti
Group C is the one group at this tournament where the top spot is not really in dispute. Brazil arrive under Carlo Ancelotti with one of the strongest squads they've assembled in years, Morocco are back as the team that reached the 2022 semi-finals and haven't forgotten how they did it, Scotland are in their first World Cup since 1998, and Haiti are making their return to the tournament after more than 50 years away. This World Cup 2026 Group C betting guide — part of our full World Cup 2026 betting guide — covers every fixture, the winner odds, and where the money is worth putting for Singapore bettors.

Group C winner odds and qualification chances
| Team | Group winner odds (decimal) | Advance to R32 (%) |
|---|---|---|
| Brazil | 1.35 | ~95% |
| Morocco | 5.00 | ~65% |
| Scotland | 11.00 | ~58% |
| Haiti | 51.00 | ~12% |
Brazil at 1.35 is one of the shortest group-win prices in the entire tournament. The question isn't whether they top it — it's who takes second. Morocco at 5.00 are the logical pick, but Scotland at 11.00 is worth looking at: in the expanded 48-team format, eight of the twelve third-place finishers advance to the Round of 32. Scotland don't need to beat Brazil. They need to not embarrass themselves against Morocco and beat Haiti convincingly. That's a realistic task.
Team by team
Brazil
Carlo Ancelotti arrived as Brazil's coach having won the Champions League multiple times. His brief is simple: end the 24-year wait for a World Cup. The squad he has is the most complete Brazil has taken to a tournament in that whole period. Vinicius Jr at 25 is at the peak of his powers — the most dangerous winger in world football right now, not just on this team. Rodrygo provides a different kind of attacking quality from the other flank. Casemiro controls the midfield. Alisson in goal is among the best three keepers in the tournament.
Brazil will win this group. At 1.35, backing that directly is a thin return for the stake. The better structure is to use Brazil as an accumulator leg — Brazil to qualify at a short price paired with Morocco to qualify — and look at Vinicius Jr first goalscorer in the Morocco opener at 06:00 SGT on 14 June for a higher-return individual market.
Morocco
Walid Regragui's Morocco beat Belgium in the group stage, then knocked out Spain and Portugal to reach the semi-finals in 2022. That run was not a fluke. The same core is back. Achraf Hakimi at PSG is one of the best right-backs in the world. Hakim Ziyech brings creativity in the final third. Sofyan Amrabat controls the midfield, and Yassine Bounou is an elite shot-stopper. The 4-3-3 Regragui runs is built to absorb pressure and stay compact — the same qualities that frustrated superior teams in Qatar.
5.00 to top the group is longer than it should be. The more targeted play is Morocco to qualify at a shorter price, plus Morocco to beat Scotland on 20 June at Gillette Stadium. That game at 06:00 SGT is the one that decides second place in this group.
Scotland
Scotland ended a 28-year World Cup absence by qualifying through UEFA. Andy Robertson at Liverpool is their most recognisable name and brings Premier League quality at left back. Scott McTominay has developed into one of the better box-to-box midfielders in European football, having earned a move to Napoli in Serie A. Lawrence Shankland leads the line with a decent eye for goal domestically.
Scotland at 11.00 to win the group is a longshot. But Scotland to advance as one of the eight best third-place finishers is a more realistic target. Beat Haiti convincingly, keep it close against Morocco, don't ship five against Brazil. The expanded format was built for teams in exactly this position. The Haiti game at 09:00 SGT on 14 June is the one to watch first — Scotland's goal difference in that game sets the platform for everything else.
Haiti
Haiti are in their first World Cup since 1974. They qualified through CONCACAF and the achievement is real. Frantzdy Pierrot leads the attack and Duckens Nazon provides pace from wide. Their CONCACAF campaign showed a physically committed, organised side that won't simply fall apart. The realistic assessment is that results against Morocco give them any path through — and Morocco are not easy to score against.
Haiti's most interesting market is total goals against Scotland on 14 June. Scotland will win, but Haiti have shown they can score in CONCACAF. Both teams to score in that game, at the right odds on sureWin, is the most defensible Haiti market here.
Group C predictions
Brazil win the group. The more interesting match is Brazil vs Morocco at MetLife Stadium on 14 June at 06:00 SGT. That is effectively the Group C final, played on day one. A Morocco result there keeps the race for second alive. A comfortable Brazil win makes Morocco's path harder and opens the door for Scotland.
Second place goes to Morocco. The combination of their defensive record and 2022 knockout experience makes them better equipped for the pressure moments than Scotland. The final matchday — Scotland vs Brazil and Morocco vs Haiti simultaneously at 06:00 SGT on 25 June — is the one to have positions open on sureWin's live markets.
Our selections: Brazil to win Group C (1.35) | Morocco to advance to the Round of 32 | Value pick: Scotland to advance as a third-place qualifier.

Which team is favourite to win Group C at the 2026 World Cup?
Brazil at 1.35 (decimal) under Carlo Ancelotti. Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, Casemiro, and Alisson give them quality at every position in this group. Brazil haven't won the World Cup since 2002 and this squad has the depth to go deep in the tournament.
What time do Group C matches kick off in Singapore (SGT)?
Both Matchday 1 games are on Sunday 14 June at 06:00 SGT (Brazil vs Morocco) and 09:00 SGT (Haiti vs Scotland). On 20 June, games are at 06:00 and 08:30 SGT. The final round on 25 June has both games simultaneously at 06:00 SGT — watch both if you have live bets across the group.
Can Scotland qualify from Group C at the 2026 World Cup?
Yes, via the third-place route. In the expanded 48-team format, eight of the twelve third-place finishers advance. Scotland need to beat Haiti, stay competitive against Morocco, and manage their goal difference. They won't win this group, but a third-place finish with enough points is realistic.
