World Cup 2026 Group C odds and bets at ToonieBet

On paper, it looks very simple in terms of the teams expected to do well in Group C. 

Brazil are the overwhelming favourites to top the group at -400. They’re followed by Morocco at +400 with Scotland and Haiti further out at +900 and +15000, respectively.

What Group C also has in Brazil is a side that could go all the way. They’re one of the favourites to do so at +900. Morocco to win the World Cup is +5000, while Scotland and Haiti are +25000 and +300000.

Value could lie with Morocco having another great tournament, as they did at Qatar 2022, although a win is a stretch according to the odds.

FIFA World Cup 2026 Group C teams

Group C is a mixed bag in terms of quality. Brazil, the five-time World Cup winners, have as good a chance as any side to win record sixth and Morocco is an international team on the rise. Scotland and Haiti, however, are making long-awaited returns to the biggest stage in the sport.

Brazil

FIFA Ranking: 6 | Coach: Carlo Ancelotti | Qualified: CONMEBOL round robin, fifth place

Brazil have not won the tournament since 2002. After something of an underwhelming qualifying campaign, the Seleção turned to legendary manager Carlos Ancelotti to lead the team. While there will be key players missing, such as Eder Militao and Rodrygo, there’s still plenty of talent in the squad. At the top of the pitch, Ancelotti can call on Vinicius Junior, with whom he worked previously at Real Madrid.

Morocco

FIFA Ranking: 8 | Coach: Mohamed Ouahbi | Qualified: CAF Group winners

You can describe Morocco as the standout second team in Group C, especially if FIFA rankings are anything to go by. The Atlas Lions qualified with a perfect record and headed to the World Cup after winning AFCON. Under manager Mohamed Ouahbi, Morocco has begun to deploy a more attacking style, but retain their defensive structure well. Key players include PSG’s Achraf Hakimi, the best right-back in the world, and Real Madrid’s Brahim Diaz.

Scotland

FIFA Ranking: 43 | Coach: Steve Clarke | Qualified: UEFA Group C winners

Scotland is making their first World Cup appearance in a generation, ending a 28-year absence. Manager Steve Clarke has built a resilient side, and there will be a need for plenty of fortitude in Group C. Captain Andy Robertson and midfielder Scott McTominay lead by example on the pitch and will be key to their efforts.

Haiti

FIFA Ranking: 83 | Coach: Sebastien Migne | Qualified: CONCACAF Group C winners

Hardscrabble Haiti are returning to the World Cup finals after a long absence, in their case 52 years, and it will be only their second ever appearance at the tournament. They earned their right to qualify, and under Sebastien Migne, they’ve become an organized, difficult side to break down. Their key players are Jean-Ricner Bellegarde of Wolverhampton, a dynamic midfielder, and striker Wilson Isidor of Sunderland. Their odds to go through are +750. Considering what’s happening at home, just qualifying is a victory in itself.

Players to watch in Group C

Players can change games, and the best can win games. Here are the ones to watch in Group C:

  • Vinicius Junior (Brazil) – Undoubtedly one of the best attackers on the planet. The 25-year-old has the pace and dribbling ability to make full-backs look silly, and will be the player Ancelotti relies on most at the tournament. Their great working relationship from their Real Madrid days will be key.
  • Achraf Hakimi (Morocco) – From one of the best wingers to arguably the best full-back in world football. Achraf Hakimi, 27, has got it all. Going forwards he’s excellent, but he can defend too. He’s also a serial winner at both club and country levels, and will once again captain his nation at a major tournament.
  • Scott McTominay (Scotland) – He’s become Scotland’s most influential player in recent years. The 29-year-old midfielder, who is enjoying a new lease on life after moving from Manchester United to Napoli, can influence the game defensively and in the final third. He’s got the ability to pop up and score crucial goals when Scotland need him the most.
  • Brahim Diaz (Morocco) – The 26-six year old winger is the best player to help spark the offence for Morocco. When playing down the right, the link-up between him and Hakimi is a problem for any defence, and the hope is they can wreak havoc. Sometimes you need a player who can produce a bit of magic, and that’s what Diaz is capable of.
  • Wilson Isidor (Haiti) – Group C is going to be tough for Haiti. They’re the weakest nation. So, what they need are players who have a great work ethic. Isidor never gives up on anything. The 25-year-old Sunderland striker also has quality, proven by scoring goals at the top level this season.

Young talents and debutants in Group C

Morocco’s Bilal El Khannouss, 22, continues his rise in the professional game. On loan at Stuttgart from Leicester City, with the deal to become permanent this summer, the attacking midfielder has both the creativity and composure to impress on the big stage. 

For Scotland, 20-year-old winger Ben Doak could be the player to give them the invention they need in games. He’s been out injured for a while, but now he’s back fit and will be keen to make his case for playing time with Steve Clarke.

Group C Qualification Scenarios: Who Goes Through?

Brazil is not only almost certain to advance from Group C, but they should win the group.

If you consider FIFA rankings, Morocco should be the team to finish second in the group. However, you can’t write off a rejuvenated Scotland. It makes the Scotland-Morocco game on June 19 massive. All teams will fancy their chance of beating Haiti relatively easily, but it’s what they do against each other that will count the most.

Expect Brazil to win the group, Morocco to finish as runners-up and Scotland aiming to be one of the best eight third-place sides.

Potential Round of 32 Matchups for Group C Teams

The winner of Group C will take on the runner-up from Group F. The runner-up in Group C will face Group F’s winner. If the team that finishes third is one of the best eight to do so, they will take on a group winner from Group A, B, D, E, G or H.

It’s Scotland’s first World Cup game in 28 years, and it’s a must win. They’re -225 to do so, with Haiti at +500 to win. The draw is +375. Victory for either side here will be huge.

Group C Round 2 matches

June 19 – Scotland vs. Morocco | Boston

This game will be decisive for Morocco if their tournament begins with a loss to Brazil. Scotland to win is +280, Morocco to triumph is +105, and the draw is +214.

June 19 – Brazil vs. Haiti | Philadelphia

Brazil should breeze through this match and secure first place in the group as a result. They’re -2000 to win, the draw is +1000, and Haiti is a huge +3500 to pull off a shock victory.

Group C Round 3 matches

June 24 – Scotland vs. Brazil | Miami

June 24 – Morocco vs. Haiti | Atlanta
