Haiti Preview
Haiti enter the tournament with a clear route into this match. Their back line must stay connected before the midfield releases runners into space. A disciplined first half would let Haiti grow into the contest without chasing the game.
Duckens Nazon gives Haiti a direct reference in attack. Wilde-Donald Guerrier is not listed in the projected XI, so the card follows the synced match hub selection. Haiti can still threaten when Derrick Etienne and Frantzdy Pierrot attack second balls.
Haiti enter the match at FIFA ranking #83. The synced card uses a projected 4-2-3-1 shape, not a confirmed starting lineup. Any late injury or suspension detail remains yet to be confirmed until the official matchday update.
Scotland Preview
Scotland bring more established experience across midfield and defence. Andrew Robertson, Billy Gilmour, John McGinn, and Scott McTominay give them several routes through the middle third. Their challenge is turning control into clean chances.
Steve Clarke’s projected shape uses a back three and active wing-backs. That structure can pin Haiti deep, yet Scotland must protect the space behind both wide players. Che Adams gives the attack a mobile target around the penalty area.
Scotland arrive at FIFA ranking #43. The current match hub projects a 3-4-2-1 structure, while the final team sheet remains pending. Readers should track the live hub before kickoff because selection details can change.

Key Battle to Watch
Haiti’s central screen against Scotland’s midfield runners can shape the game. Haiti need to protect their preferred attacking route while staying compact after turnovers. Scotland need to win the same space without exposing their defensive line.
The first midfield exchanges should reveal which team can impose its plan. Haiti will want controlled aggression. Scotland will look for moments when the opposition shape stretches. The duel can also decide which side spends longer defending near its own box.
Set pieces can change the rhythm if open-play chances stay limited. Haiti need strong first contacts inside both penalty areas. Scotland need clear marking assignments and calm second-ball reactions. Those details often carry extra weight in an opening group fixture.
Group C Standings
