Brazil Takes on Haiti in the World Cup: Full Preview, Expert Predictions, and Confirmed Lineups
Brazil is set to face Haiti in their second Group C match of the 2026 World Cup on Friday, seeking their first win. After a sluggish performance against Morocco, Brazil's coach Carlo Ancelotti will be looking to improve. The team's forward, Vinicíus Júnior, attributed their struggles to the dry pitch at MetLife Stadium, but a different surface awaits them in Philadelphia.
Haiti, ranked 85th in the world by FIFA, is determined to make an impact despite being a significant underdog. Although they were defeated by Scotland, Haiti demonstrated their ability to compete by edging possession and matching their opponent in expected goals. Brazil, however, is expected to dominate the match.
Changes are anticipated in Brazil's lineup, with Manchester United's Matheus Cunha potentially replacing Brentford's Igor Thiago. Veteran Danilo may also be drafted into the starting XI, while Lucas Paquetá could be benched. Brazil's predicted lineup includes Alisson, Danilo, Marquinhos, Gabriel, Santos, Casemiro, Guimarães, Raphinha, Cunha, and Vinicíus Jr.
Haiti's manager, Sébastien Migné, may stick with the same team that faced Scotland, with the only debate surrounding the starting place of Dallas FC's Louicious Deedson. Haiti's predicted lineup includes Placide, Arcus, Adé, Delcroix, Expérience, Deedson, Jacques, Bellegarde, Providence, Isidor, and Pierrot. The match will be broadcast on various networks, including FOX, fuboTV, and ITV.
