There will be fireworks when Brazil and Morocco face off at MetLife Stadium in what promises to be one of the standout matches of the opening round in Group C. As both sides are likely to adopt a cautious approach in their World Cup opener, we predict a 1-1 draw. Brazil head into the tournament in good spirits after producing a series of high-scoring displays in recent friendlies. However, Neymar misses the World Cup opener due to a right calf strain, while Chelsea striker Joao Pedro has been omitted from the squad. As a result, Brentford forward Igor Thiago is expected to lead the line. Brazil have won six of their last ten matches, averaging an impressive 2.4 goals per game, while their matches have produced 3.4 goals on average.
Morocco, meanwhile, head into the match full of confidence after lifting the Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year. Boss Mohamed Ouahbi can once again call upon PSV midfielder Ismael Saibari, while stars Achraf Hakimi and Brahim Diaz are expected to start. The Atlas Lions have been extremely difficult to break down, conceding just 0.4 goals per game across their last ten matches and keeping six clean sheets. Morocco have also won six of those ten outings, underlining their credentials as potential dark horses.
Brazil's attack is dangerous, but Morocco possess enough quality going forward to find the net. Therefore, Both Teams to Score is our main betting tip for this clash, alongside Over 3.5 yellow cards and Over 23.5 fouls (a hard-fought battle is expected, with both sides likely to be strong in the tackle).
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Saturday 13 June 2026 at 23:00.
