The Brazilian national team returns to the field this Friday (19) with a must-win game! After a lackluster 1–1 draw with Morocco in their opener—when Vinícius Júnior saved Carlo Ancelotti’s team from a bigger setback—Brazil faces Haiti knowing that a win will virtually secure their spot in Group C.
On the other side, Haiti is under pressure. In their return to the World Cup after 52 years, Sébastien Migné’s team lost 1–0 to Scotland in their opening match, despite controlling much of the possession. With no points, the Grenadiers need a positive result to keep their dream of reaching the knockout stage alive.
On the injury front, Brazil remains without Neymar, who is still recovering from a calf injury, and without fullback Wesley, who has been ruled out of the tournament due to injury. Haiti, on the other hand, has no medical issues to report and is expected to field the same starting lineup that faced Scotland.
