The competition has reached a phase where Brazil, five-time world champions, will aim to secure qualification for the round of 32 as they take on Scotland in a tournament that now features a demanding si games-a-day format. While Brazil are widely expected to advance, they face a Scotland side in Miami who are chasing a historic milestone – reaching the knockout stage for the first time. In the same group dynamics, Morocco, who earlier held Brazil to a 1-1 draw in one of the standout early matches, are well placed to collect maximum points against already-eliminated Haiti.
They will move to the top of Group C if Brazil fail to defeat Scotland. That scenario could create a more complicated route ahead for Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil in the later stages of the tournament. Speaking on Tuesday, Ancelotti confirmed that Neymar has recovered from injury and is in contention for selection against Scotland. The return of Neymar provides a boost, especially with winger Raphinha sidelined due to injury and expected to miss around two weeks. Today’s World Cup Matches (Thursday In India) Switzerland vs Canada (12:30 AM IST) Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Qatar (12:30 AM IST) Scotland vs Brazil (3:30 AM IST) Morocco vs Haiti (3:30 AM IST) Czechia vs Mexico (06:30 AM IST) South Africa vs Korea Republic (06: 30 AM IST) The day is especially notable as the final group-stage matches are scheduled to kick off at the same time, adding extra intensity across venues. Co-hosts Mexico have already secured progression to the knockout round after finishing top of Group A with two wins.
They now face the Czech Republic, who must win to keep their hopes of advancing alive. South Africa, meanwhile, showed significant improvement in their previous outing when they held the Czechs to a draw, bouncing back from a difficult start to the tournament that included a 2-0 defeat to Mexico in which they ended the match with two players sent off. They now meet South Korea, led by Son Heung-min, with both sides still in contention for a place in the next phase. In Group C, Canada have already secured qualification and will meet Switzerland in Vancouver. The Swiss know exactly what is required – victory guarantees progression, while anything less leaves them dependent on other results to stay alive in the competition. Elsewhere in the group, Bosnia-Herzegovina face Qatar, who suffered a heavy 6-0 defeat to Canada in their previous match. Both teams remain mathematically in the hunt for qualification, though their chances are slim. This busy day marks the start of a stretch featuring four consecutive days with six matches each, a format introduced after the tournament’s expansion to 48 teams for the first time.
