Scotland vs. Brazil World Cup 2026 Prediction, Spread, Over/Under – Wednesday, June 24

How to watch Scotland vs. Brazil: FOX (English) | Telemundo (Spanish)

Kickoff Time: 6 p.m. ET

Venue: Hard Rock Stadium, Miami, Florida

Group: Group C

Brazil is considered the heavy favorite heading into its final group-stage match after a strong showing against Haiti last Friday.

La Seleção will face a Scotland side that has failed to replicate the attacking success we saw during UEFA World Cup qualifiers and in pre-tournament friendlies. Scotland has scored just 1 goal across its two games, taking just 15 combined shots over 180 minutes.

Even so, Scotland still technically has an outside chance at winning Group C with a result here, and Haiti upsetting Morocco, which also kicks off at 6 p.m. ET. PrizePicks is offering a 33.33x payout for Scotland to win Group C, with Brazil still the favorite at 1.38x.

Brazil’s patented dangerous attack was finally seen in its Matchday 2 game against Haiti. La Seleção scored 3 goals, all in the first half, before coasting for the remainder of the match. Haiti had come off a valiant performance in a losing effort against Scotland in which the Caribbean side held more possession than the Scots and outshot them.

Scotland will need to avoid another early goal against its opponent after conceding to Morocco in the second minute of the game. Morocco would go on to control the match following the goal, with Scotland never really able to find its footing following the early blunder. The European side will need to avoid playing from behind if it wants a chance to secure at least a point from this match.

Scotland vs. Brazil Favorite to Win, Spread, Total Goals – Wednesday, June 24

Brazil enters Wednesday’s game as the favorites, returning a 1.26x payout if they win outright, via PrizePicks Team Picks. Meanwhile, Scotland will look to keep Brazil’s dangerous attackers at bay, whilst it looks to attack more aggressively after two mediocre performances.

For context, Scotland had scored a combined 8 goals in its final two pre-tournament friendlies, finishing the two matches with 38 shots across the 180 minutes. Scotland managed just 6 total shots against Morocco and generated just 0.51 xG after a full 90 minutes.

Scotland vs. Brazil Picks, Player Stats for World Cup: 06/24/26

Here are the top Scotland vs. Brazil player picks to target on PrizePicks for Wednesday, June 24. Today’s World Cup 2026 picks are headlined by Vinícius Júnior, Casemiro, and Angus Gunn.

Scotland GK Angus Gunn vs. Brazil 

Angus Gunn Projections via PrizePicks: 4 Goalie Saves, 30.5 Passes Attempted, 8 Goalie Fantasy Score

• We touched on Gunn’s relatively quiet tournament so far, but the Nottingham Forest keeper will likely be forced into more action later tonight. Brazil has logged 5.0 shots on target per match, which is more than Gunn has seen in his two matches combined. 
• Gunn is averaging 32.5 passes attempted across his two games despite Scotland conceding possession to its opponents in both matches. Keepers tallied 32 and 35 passes attempted against Brazil in this tournament, respectively.
• The Scottish native has surpassed an 8 goalie fantasy score in one of two games thus far. Based on PrizePicks’ scoring system, Gunn will need to save more than he conceded, which the two other keepers who played Brazil have both done.

Brazil F Vinícius Júnior Pick vs. Scotland 

Vinícius Júnior Projections via PrizePicks: 0.5 Goals (Demon), 6.5 Attempted Dribbles, 1.5 Shots (World Cup Discount)

Today’s World Cup Discount drops Vinícius Júnior’s shots from 2.5 to 1.5 for a limited time. Let’s look at that projection and more for Brazil’s star winger.

• Vini Jr. has now scored in each of Brazil’s first two games and is tied with Cunha for the most goals scored for the South American side. He’s put one in the back of the net in four of his last five matches for both club and country.
• The Real Madrid superstar has attempted 14 dribbles in Brazil’s first two matches. With Scotland conceding possession often, expect Vini Jr. to have plenty of chances to showcase his flair down the left flank in this match.
• Vini Jr. currently leads Brazil with 4 total shots across the two matches. All four of his shots have come in the first halves of both games. Scotland has conceded the most shots to its opponents in Group C.

Brazil MF Casemiro vs. Scotland 

Casemiro Projections via PrizePicks: 64.5 Passes Attempted, 0.5 Shots (Goblin), 0.5 Goal + Assists (Demon)

• Casemiro has been a solid option for Ancelotti in the midfield across the first two matches of the competition. He is averaging just 38.0 passes per match after the first two fixtures but will likely see an increase as Scotland struggles to keep possession. Scotland has allowed an average of 550.5 passes per game in its first two matches.
• The decorated midfielder has yet to take a shot in the 2026 World Cup. With Scotland typically playing a low block and dropping into a back five when not in possession, there will certainly be space for Casemiro to have a go if he pleases.
• Casemiro has just 1 goal contribution for his country in 10 World Cup appearances. While the midfielder is primarily known for his defensive prowess, Casemiro is no stranger to a goal in a big moment throughout his career.
