Match Analysis

Scotland: Scotland's Biggest Match in 28 Years

Scotland haven't been at a World Cup since 1998, and a win against Brazil — even a rotated Brazil — would be one of the greatest results in Scottish football history. Robertson will drive the crowd, McGinn will drive the press.

If Scotland can keep it goalless at halftime, pressure will build on a potentially rotated Brazilian side. The crowd at SoFi will be split but Scotland's vocal support is significant.

Brazil: Brazil Manage the Group Finale

Brazil almost certainly arrive at MD3 already through to the knockout rounds. The decision Dorival Júnior faces: rotate the stars and risk a loss, or keep the squad sharp. Either way, Brazil have the quality to win.

Even a rotated Brazil side with Endrick and second-choice midfielders is too much for Scotland. The depth of this squad is their superpower in a 72-match tournament.
