This isn’t just a football match — it’s two nations chasing history. Scotland return to the World Cup after a **28-year absence** (last appeared in 1998). Haiti play only their **second-ever World Cup** after a 52-year wait since 1974. When they meet at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Group C kicks off with a story no scriptwriter could dream up.

## Team Preview

**Haiti 🇭🇹 — The Caribbean Underdogs With Nothing to Lose**

Haiti’s World Cup story is one of sheer grit — they qualified after a 52-year absence, arriving in the USA with energy, passion, and a point to prove. Their attack is built around **Frantzdy Pierrot**, who bagged a brace in a recent 3-0 friendly win over Azerbaijan. Operating in a 4-2-3-1, Haiti will be compact and dangerous on the counter. Don’t dismiss them — they beat New Zealand 4-0 in recent form and drew with Iceland.

**Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 — Scotland’s Long-Awaited Return**

Scotland topped a tough qualifying group that included Denmark — with two stoppage-time goals in the final game, no less, which is very on-brand. **Scott McTominay, Andy Robertson, and Che Adams** form the spine of a squad with genuine Premier League quality. They scored four in each of their last two friendlies. The Tartan Army has waited 28 years for this — and the team knows it.

**Scotland (4-3-3):** Gunn; Hickey, McKenna, Hanley, Robertson; McGinn, Ferguson, Christie; Doak/McTominay; Dykes, Adams

## Match Prediction

Scotland’s Premier League pedigree and FIFA ranking advantage make them clear favourites here. But Haiti’s counter-attacking pace and Pierrot’s finishing ability mean this won’t be a stroll. Expect Scotland to control possession and eventually find the breakthrough — but don’t rule out Haiti nicking one.

**Prediction: Scotland 2–1 Haiti**
