World Cup 2026: Brazil vs Haiti Tips, Odds & Prediction

* Odds supplied by Betway and accurate when this was published.

Haiti stand in Brazil's way at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on Saturday, with the match kicking off at 02:30 CAT. The five-time champions of the world were frustrated by Morocco in a draw first time out and badly need a win against the lowest ranked team in Group C. Haiti went down by a narrow margin to Scotland and have yet to score at the tournament. Check our dedicated section for every one of our World Cup betting tips.

Brazil

Brazil were not at their sharpest against Morocco, and I believe Carlo Ancelotti will want his attackers to be much more ruthless this time. Vinicius Junior has the speed and skill to rip open a deep Haiti back line, and Raphinha brings a scoring threat from the right flank. Injuries are not a real worry, and Ancelotti has enough depth to rotate if he wants to. I see Brazil hogging the ball and pinning Haiti back, so the main question is simply the size of the winning margin.

Probable Lineup: Becker; Ibanez, Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhaes, Santos; Bruno Guimaraes, Casemiro; Raphinha, Paqueta, Vinicius Junior; Thiago.

Haiti

Haiti gave Scotland a decent game, but as I see it they lack the ability to worry a team as good as Brazil across a full ninety minutes. Sebastien Migne will get his side to sit deep with plenty of bodies behind the ball, aiming to frustrate and break when the chance comes. Goalkeeper Johny Placide can expect plenty of work, and he will need to be at his very best to stop Brazil running up a big total. Frantzdy Pierrot is their main out ball in attack, but good openings should be scarce against a Brazil team eager to put things right.

Probable Lineup: Placide; Arcus, Ade, Delcroix, Experience; Deedson, Bellegarde, Jean Jacques, Providence; Pierrot, Isidor.

The difference in quality is huge, and I am confident Brazil will hit their stride against a Haiti team that drew a blank against Scotland. Ancelotti's forwards should have far too much movement and class for a back line that will be pinned inside its own half for most of the game. My forecast: Brazil 3 Haiti 0.

BTTS: No (1.56)

My selection is BTTS: No, because Haiti could not score against a far weaker Scottish side and should find it close to impossible to get past a Brazil defence led by Marquinhos and Gabriel Magalhaes. Brazil will push plenty of men forward, but their defenders are quick enough to handle whatever Haiti offer on the counter. At 1.56 this is the most reliable value on offer.
