Brazil vs Haiti
📖 The Preview
Look, Brazil versus Haiti in a World Cup is about as close to a foregone conclusion as football gets. The Seleção come in as massive 86% favourites for good reason - the quality gap between these two nations is enormous, and a 3-0 win feels about right. Haiti will work hard and defend as long as they can, but Brazil have too much class across the pitch. Expect the goals to flow without Haiti getting on the scoresheet, which is exactly what the no-BTTS prediction tells you.

🎲 Betting Tips
Both Teams to Score: No
Haiti are extremely unlikely to score given their xG of just 0.52 in this matchup, a modest away record of LWD, and Brazil's strong defensive structure conceding under 1 goal per game on average. Brazil's quality defensive line should comfortably keep a clean sheet against a Haiti attack that lacks the firepower to trouble elite opposition.
Over 2.5 Goals: Yes
With Brazil's projected xG of 3.39 and the Poisson model listing 3-0 (14.9%), 4-0 (12.6%), and 3-1 (7.8%) as top outcomes, there is a very strong case for over 2.5 total goals. Brazil's attacking depth, home advantage, and the sheer quality gap against Haiti make a three-goal-or-more game the most probable outcome.
