Scotland still has a chance to finish first in Group C of the World Cup. With that in mind, coach Steve Clarke announced the lineup to face Brazil starting at 7pm (Brasília time) this Wednesday (24). The match will be played at Hard Rock Stadium in the United States.
Check out Scotland’s lineup:
Gunn; Patterson, Hendry, McKenna and Robertson; Scott McTominay, Ferguson, McLean and McGinn; Shankland and Ben Doak.
So, the main Scottish stars are confirmed. McTominay and Andy Robertson will fill midfield and left back, respectively. Brazil, however, will also field its strongest possible lineup.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti is expected to start with: Alisson; Danilo, Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhães and Douglas Santos; Casemiro, Bruno Guimarães and Lucas Paquetá; Vini Jr, Rayan and Matheus Cunha.
So, for Clarke’s side to finish first, they need to beat Brazil and hope Haiti defeats Morocco. A win over the Seleção and a draw between the other two teams in the group would leave Scotland relying on goal difference to take top spot.
Besides winning, Ancelotti’s team needs to hope for a draw or a Morocco loss against Haiti. However, if the Africans win, first place will be decided on goal difference. Therefore, a big win over Scotland would be more comfortable for Brazil.
While Brazil and Scotland play at Hard Rock Stadium, Morocco and Haiti will play at the same time at Atlanta Stadium, also in the United States. The Haitians, however, have already been eliminated.
Patterson was one of Scotland’s worst players against Morocco. I imagine the right back’s confidence is shaken, which could be good for young Rayan. The Brazilian forward has become a lucky charm for Brentford (England), which has not lost since the former Vasco player joined the team in January.
