Haiti vs Scotland

Haiti's recent form shows inconsistency with mixed results in their World Cup preparation. Their 2-1 defeat to Peru highlighted defensive frailties, though they bounced back with an impressive 4-0 victory over New Zealand that demonstrated their attacking potential. During CONCACAF qualification, Haiti showed resilience with crucial wins over Nicaragua and Costa Rica, but also suffered heavy defeats including a 5-1 loss to Curaçao. Their attacking players have shown they can find the net against weaker opposition, but defensive organization remains a concern. The team's ability to compete at World Cup level will depend on whether they can maintain the attacking intensity shown against New Zealand while tightening up defensively.

Scotland enters the tournament in excellent form, winning their last two friendlies convincingly with a 4-0 victory over Bolivia and 4-1 triumph against Curaçao. This attacking momentum built throughout their successful World Cup qualification campaign, where they secured their place with notable victories including beating Denmark 4-2 at home. Their recent performances suggest a well-balanced team capable of both creating and converting chances. The squad appears to have found the right tactical approach under their current management, with players showing confidence in the final third. Scotland's preparation has been ideal, with the team looking sharp in attack while maintaining defensive solidity that will be crucial in group stage competition.
