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
