How it plays out

Haiti vs Scotland is a clash of styles: North & Central America against Europe. Our model can barely split them: Haiti 33%, Scotland 43%, with a 24% chance the points are shared.

Tactically, Haiti will want to lean on fearless underdog spirit to get at Scotland, whose goals from open play is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Scotland's set-piece delivery could punish Haiti if inexperience at this level goes unaddressed. Whoever wins that exchange likely wins the match.

Keep an eye on Frantzdy Pierrot (ST, Gaziantep) and Scott McTominay (CM, Napoli): the two most likely to decide it with a moment of quality. As a Matchday 1 fixture, it sets the tone for Group C: an early win is worth more than three points for the nerves.
