Scotland are still not guaranteed a place in the next round after they followed up John McGinn's winner against Haiti with a 1-0 loss to Morocco.

But Scotland qualify for the Round of 32 if:

They defeat Brazil.

Scotland will qualify as Group C winners (and meet the Group F runners-up in Houston on 29 June) if:

They defeat Brazil, and Morocco fail to beat Haiti.

Scotland will qualify as runners-up (and meet the Group F winners in Monterrey on 29 June) if:

They defeat Brazil, and Morocco defeat Haiti.

The Seleção currently sit top of the group as Carlo Ancelotti's decision to put faith in Matheus Cunha against Haiti paid off, registering a FIFA Power Ranking score of 8.0.

The Manchester United man netted twice, while Vinícius Júnior added a third with his second goal of the tournament to put his side on four points from two games to equal Cunha’s Attacking Score of 8.0.

Players to watch 🔥

Scotland's Scott McTominay has had a relatively quiet tournament so far by his high standards and there remains a question mark over who gets the nod up front with Ché Adams, Lyndon Dykes and Lawrence Shankland all vying for places.

The exciting Ben Gannon-Doak is capable of causing Brazil's full-backs plenty of problems if he returns to the starting line-up after being benched against Morocco.

For Brazil, Viní Jr has been directly involved in six goals in his last five games for his country and netted in each group game so far but Ancelotti also has a decision to make in attack in keeping faith with the in-form Cunha or bringing Igor Thiago back in.

Neymar has also made huge strides in his bid for fitness and could make his first appearance of the tournament here - albeit it would likely be off the bench.
