Haiti’s heavy favoritism for a group-stage exit stems from its placement in a formidable Group C alongside Brazil, Morocco, and Scotland. The side, ranked around 83rd globally and returning to the tournament for the first time since 1974, opened with a 0-1 defeat to Scotland on June 13, leaving it pointless and already facing an uphill climb. Upcoming fixtures against Brazil and Morocco present significant quality gaps in squad depth, tactical organization, and recent international form. While Haiti showed defensive discipline in the opener, advancing would require unlikely results across the remaining matches, such as multiple upsets or favorable tiebreakers among the stronger sides. Trader consensus reflects these structural and results-based barriers.
