A victory combined with a Morocco draw or loss against Haiti would also give Scotland first place in Group C. A draw keeps Scotland&#8217;s hopes alive but is not guaranteed to be enough, as they would need to hope other results fall their way among the eight best third-place teams. A loss eliminates Scotland from the tournament.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14>Brazil is well-positioned heading into the final matchday with four points, and a win over Scotland would seal their advancement. A draw also keeps Brazil in strong shape, while a loss could put them in jeopardy depending on Morocco&#8217;s result against Haiti. Brazil&#8217;s goal difference advantage over Morocco(+3 to +1) gives them an edge in tiebreaker scenarios.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14>Morocco enters the final matchday tied on points with Brazil and can advance with a win, a draw or even a loss if Brazil beats Scotland. To win Group C outright, Morocco needs a win against Haiti while also making up a two-goal deficit on Brazil in goal difference. Morocco is in control of its own fate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14>Haiti has been eliminated and cannot advance to the Round of 32.
