Scotland

Scotland know they are in a reasonably strong position to claim one of the eight best third place finishers in the group stage but Steve Clarke’s side will be keen to get something out of this upcoming clash against heavily fancied Brazil in order to further strengthen their claims.

A 1-0 win against minnows Haiti handed Scotland the perfect start to their World Cup campaign but a narrow 1-0 defeat in their following game in Group C to dark horses Morocco put a dent in the Scots progress.

Nevertheless, Scotland will now relish the opportunity to claim a major scalp in the shape of Brazil on Wednesday evening but having produced a somewhat mixed bag of results in recent times consisting of four wins but also four defeats, they will have to produce something magical in order to pick up all three points.

Fast Fact: Scotland's most celebrated World Cup moment is Archie Gemmill's stunning solo goal against the Netherlands in 1978.

Brazil

A slightly disappointing 1-1 draw with Morocco in their opening game in Group C was followed by a resounding 3-0 victory over the basement dwellers in the group, Haiti, to give Brazil a four-point haul from their opening two games in the group stage.

Despite producing a rather chaotic and unconvincing qualifying campaign in the CONMEBOL section which resulted in a disappointing 5th place finish in the South American table, Carlo Ancelotti’s side have slipped to just two defeats within their previous 10 internationals overall.

In addition, Brazil have collected six wins in this period and the Selecao look like they are building momentum on their way to progressing through to the knockout rounds of this tournament.

Fast Fact: Holds the record for 5 World Cup titles (1958, 1962, 1970, 1994, 2002).

The Betting Verdict

Brazil have won each of the last four meetings against Scotland while each of Brazil’s last 10 internationals have also produced over 1 goal as well. The outcome should be simple.

Scotland 0-2 Brazil
