Brazil vs Haiti — World Cup 2026 Group · Matchday 2
Match preview / What to expect
Updated Jun 6, 2026Brazil face Haiti in Group C in a meeting of vastly different football pedigrees, with Carlo Ancelotti's Selecao heavy favourites against the Caribbean side.
Brazil's attacking riches are obvious, with Vinicius Junior and Raphinha supplying the flair and Bruno Guimaraes controlling midfield. Sebastien Migne's Haiti will set up to defend deep and compactly, relying on the likes of Duckens Nazon and Frantzdy Pierrot to make the most of any rare opening.
This is an opportunity for Brazil to build momentum and goal difference. Haiti's task is to stay organised, frustrate the favourites and seize any half-chance on the counter.
