2026 World Cup Picks: Brazil vs. Haiti (Friday)
Friday features four matches, with none bigger than the meeting between the United States and Australia. With a win, the United States would punch its ticket to the knockout stage. Below, I explain why I expect the United States to have no trouble with Australia, especially if the Stars and Stripes' offense plays to its potential. Then, I highlight what to expect when Scotland meets Morocco and Brazil faces Haiti. Here are the best 2026 World Cup picks for Friday, June 19th’s game Brazil vs. Haiti.

Brazil vs. Haiti
Haiti is stepping into a terrible situation, facing off against a Brazil team that just drew 1-1 against Morocco. Brazil is a team that can score in bunches, and I expect them to be unrelenting against Haiti in this match.
The Brazilians have scored 12 goals in their last four matches, with a 6-2 win over Panama and a 3-1 win over Croatia showing exactly what this offense is capable of. This is also a squad that defeated South Korea 5-0 in October.
Haiti gave up just one goal in their first match, but if Scotland had finished around the net, the score could easily have been 3-0 or worse. While Haiti hasn't allowed more than three goals in a match since last June against Curaçao, they also haven't played a team that is nearly as good as Brazil.
Haiti has struggled defensively at times, allowing three goals to Honduras and Costa Rica each in the last nine months. The only thing potentially working in Haiti's favor is that Neymar isn't expected to play. But even without him, Brazil should have no trouble getting the better of an average, at best, defensive team.
Pick: Brazil Over 3.5 Goals (+134)
