Match Preview: Brazil vs Haiti
Brazil arrive in must-bounce-back mode after being held 1-1 by Morocco, and Haiti are exactly the opponent to take that frustration out on. The historical ledger is brutal: three previous meetings, three Brazil wins, 17 goals conceded by Haiti including a 7-1 humbling at the 2016 Copa America. At -800 the market is screaming mismatch, and the eye test agrees.
Without Neymar, who stayed behind in training, Vinicius Jr and Raphinha lead an attack with Rodrygo and Endrick in reserve — depth that simply overwhelms a Haiti side making its first World Cup appearance in 52 years. Behind them, Marquinhos and Alisson form a spine that should keep a routine clean sheet against an opponent that already struggled to create against a far less technical Scotland.
The honest read is decisive but not arrogant: this is the genuine mismatch on the card, the category where favorites have gone to form firmly. Expect Brazil to apply vertical pressure from the first whistle, collapse Haiti's low block with wide overloads, and run out comfortable multi-goal winners. A 4-0 scoreline captures both the quality gap and Brazil's motivation to repair their goal difference.
