Brazil's status as five-time World Cup champions and depth across attack and midfield under coach Carlo Ancelotti anchor trader expectations for Group C dominance, reflected in their 71.5% implied probability to top the standings ahead of the June 13 opener against Morocco. Morocco's 20.5% share stems from their 2022 semifinal run and organized defensive structure, positioning them as the clearest challenger in a group that also features Scotland's first appearance since 1998 and Haiti's return after 52 years. Recent squad finalizations and pre-tournament friendlies have reinforced Brazil's favoritism while highlighting Morocco's set-piece threat and counter-attacking potential, with the remaining two sides viewed as long shots given limited recent international success and experience at this level.
