What is the story about?
Brazil vs Scotland LIVE Score: Brazil face Scotland in their final group match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Miami on Wednesday, 24 June, aiming to finish top of the Group C standings before shifting their focus to the knockouts. The five-time world champions had begun their campaign with a 1-1 draw against Morocco in New York/New Jersey and collected their first win of the tournament with a 3-0 thrashing of Haiti in Philadelphia.
They now face Scotland at the Miami Stadium, hoping to collect their second win on the trot and finish top of Group C, though they will also be keeping an eye on the Morocco vs Haiti game to see if the Atlas Lions finish above them – either due to more points or a superior Goal Difference – or not.
And the big question for the Brazilian team and its fans ahead of their final group-stage fixture is whether star forward Neymar will finally make his first appearance of the World Cup or not.
The former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain star had been included in Brazil's squad despite concerns over his fitness, but did not enter the pitch at all during Brazil's Group C games against Morocco and Haiti.
And while coach Carlo Ancelotti confirmed star forward Raphinha would be missing the upcoming game due to an injury, he added that Santos star Neymar was available for selection, leading to speculation that the 34-year-old attacking midfielder could finally make his first appearance of the ongoing event on Wednesday.
Scotland aren't out of the knockouts race either, and can still advance past the group stage for the first time ever. They had beaten Haiti 1-0 in Boston before losing to Morocco by a similar margin. And while they will be hoping to seal their passage into the Round of 32 with a draw or even with an upset victory over Seleção.
However, they could still qualify for the next round even if they lose to Brazil on Wednesday, so long as they are among eight of the top third-ranked teams.
Brazil: Alisson, Danilo, Marquinhos, Gabriel, Santos, Casemiro, Guimaraes, Rayan, Paqueta, Vinicius Jnr, Cunha.
Scotland: Gunn, Patterson, Hendry, McKenna, Robertson, Gannon-Doak, McLean, Ferguson, McGinn, McTominay, Shankland.
