World Cup Day 14 Preview: Canada and South Korea Aim to Advance; Brazil Faces Scotland for Group C Lead

The 2026 World Cup resumes Wednesday with crucial matches in Groups A, B, and C. It’s the last day of group stage play for these groups, with all games kicking off simultaneously. Mexico has already secured a spot in the Round of 32, but many other teams have everything to fight for.

Canada, co-hosts of the tournament, share the top spot in Group B alongside Switzerland. Meanwhile, South Korea could join Mexico in advancing if they secure a victory. Group C remains tightly contested, featuring Brazil, Morocco, and Scotland, any of which might progress depending on results.

This match features the bottom two teams in Group B fighting to stay alive. One team will be eliminated here, while the other could still advance depending on goal differences and other results.

Odds: Brazil (-280), Scotland (+410), Draw (+410)

Scotland has never defeated Brazil in 10 previous encounters, with eight losses and two draws. Both teams sit comfortably in the race to reach the Round of 32, with Brazil leading Group C at four points and a +3 goal differential, while Scotland trails closely with three points. Brazilian star Neymar may return after missing earlier matches due to a calf injury, but Raphinha’s availability is doubtful.

Odds: Mexico (-110), Czechia (+270), Draw (+280)
