Haiti vs Scotland – Predicted lineup and team news
Haiti are set to make a long-awaited return to the FIFA World Cup after 52 years, where they will take on Scotland, a side that has also ended a 28-year absence from the tournament. The two teams are scheduled to meet on Saturday at the Boston Stadium.
Haiti’s build-up to the competition has produced mixed results, but there have been plenty of positive signs ahead of only their second appearance at a World Cup. They narrowly lost 1-0 to Tunisia and then secured a 1-1 draw against Iceland earlier in the year. Confidence grew with an impressive 4-0 win over New Zealand, although they ended their preparations with a tight 2-1 loss to Peru. Despite these results, their well-organised defence has shown that they will not be easy opponents to break down.

Haiti team news
Heading into this historic opening match, Haiti have no fitness concerns at all.
Head coach Sébastien Migné has the advantage of selecting from a fully fit 26-man squad, allowing him flexibility in terms of tactics and team selection.
The side is likely to line up in a balanced 4-4-2 system, designed to match Scotland’s strength in midfield.
Veteran forward and all-time leading scorer Duckens Nazon is expected to start in attack, most likely alongside Sunderland striker Wilson Isidor, although Frantzdy Pierrot remains a strong option and could challenge for a place in the starting lineup.
