Scotland vs Brazil — Group C, 24 June 22:00 UTC

Group C context

Scotland's Matchday 2 defeat to Morocco (0-1) means they sit on three points and must avoid defeat against Brazil to have a strong chance of qualifying — either as runners-up or as one of the best third-placed teams. Brazil bounced back from their 1-1 draw with Morocco by crushing Haiti 3-0, and a win here would seal top spot if Morocco also win their match.
