Pet has chosen his bet, Meridianbet offer best odds on Scotland v Brazil | OneFootball

This Wednesday at 7 PM (Brasília time), at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Brazil faces Scotland in the decisive Group C round of the 2026 World Cup — and Dejan Petković has already made his pick.

The match, the moment, the decision

Brazil leads Group C with four points and depends only on itself to advance as group winner. The Seleção cannot relax: Scotland, in third place with three points, still has a chance to qualify — and could even advance in defeat, depending on the parallel result between Morocco and Haiti.

How Brazil comes in — strength and focus

The Seleção is coming off a convincing thrashing in the second round, with three goals scored in the first half alone, confirming its technical superiority over lower-level opponents. Matheus Cunha was the standout in the center-forward role — and should be kept there by Ancelotti.

The main lineup news is the absence of Raphinha, ruled out with a thigh muscle injury. Young Bournemouth winger Rayan, just 19 years old, is the favorite to take over on the right wing. Neymar, meanwhile, is available for the first time in the tournament after recovering from injury, but the tendency is for him to be saved for a more decisive match.

Vinícius Júnior is the main focal point of the attack and the only Brazilian player to have found the net in every match played so far in the tournament. Brazil’s left side promises to be the most dangerous channel of the game.

How Scotland comes in — organization and pressure to survive

Under Steve Clarke, Scotland is expected to play with compact lines and a defensive approach — the British side’s standard model against technically superior opponents. The mission is to block central spaces, force Brazil out wide, and try to capitalize on quick transitions.

Scott McTominay remains the team’s main reference point — top scorer of the Clarke era, with 15 goals for the Scottish national team. Kieran Tierney and Hickey are medical doubts, and their absence would further weaken the European side’s defensive depth.

The scenario is challenging for Scotland: in its previous eight appearances in the tournament throughout history, the British side was eliminated in the group stage every time — and this would be the ninth. A win or a draw could change that chapter, but Brazil’s technical level makes that task extremely difficult.
