Brazil’s Prospects
Brazil, winners five times before, wants a sixth World Cup title since their last one in 2002. Morocco, who finished fourth in 2022, is the toughest opponent in the group thanks to their solid defense. Haiti and Scotland are weaker based on their rankings and shouldn’t be as big a challenge.
