Brazil vs Haiti: Team News and Expert Analysis
The Brazilians, after changing coaches, qualified for the World Cup with modest results by their standards—28 points from eighteen matches, similar to Paraguay. Only in their most recent friendlies did they start to win consistently: in April, they edged out Croatia 3-1, and then in the summer defeated Panama and Egypt. However, at the World Cup, they were unable to extend their winning streak against Morocco, but at least, after conceding first, they managed to equalize.
Haiti is finally returning to the World Cup. They advanced to the main round of CONCACAF qualification alongside Curaçao, and then topped their group with Honduras, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua, collecting eleven points. In friendlies, they were a surprise by crushing New Zealand 4-0, but overall, they mostly lost to opponents, even those at Peru's level. In their first World Cup match against Scotland, despite an even game, they conceded and couldn't reply, ultimately losing.
The South American giants average 2.3 goals per match but also concede a fair number—1.2 on average. The islanders' numbers are more modest, but their goal difference is still positive: 1.5 goals scored per game and 1.1 conceded.
