Scotland and Brazil still have plenty left to play for in Group C as they head into their final Group Stage match against each other.
While Brazil have bagged four points from their first two matches, the consensus is they haven’t quite hit first gear yet. Scotland will be hoping they don’t when they meet in their final game of Group C, with the Scots’ qualification to the last 32 possibly coming down to goal difference should they lose this clash.
To celebrate the momentous occasion that is the World Cup, Sportsbet is bringing back its exclusive Super Sub feature!
How does Super Sub work? Well, it’s very simple. Place a bet on select player markets throughout the Men’s World Cup and if that player is subbed off your bet rolls over to the new player that replaced them.
For example, if you’ve bet on Kylian Mbappe to score during one of France’s matches and during that match he fails to do so and is directly substituted for Jean-Philippe Mateta who ends up scoring instead, your original bet on Mbappe is paid as a winner!
Super Sub is not exclusive to goalscoring markets either, it also applies to anytime assist, player to win one or more fouls, shots on target and more, just make sure to read all the T&Cs before locking in your bet.

Scotland vs Brazil Prediction
Scotland will need to put on the performance of their lives if they are to make sure they are to qualify for the next stage of the tournament, potentially as one of the best third-placed sides in this year’s tournament.
Indeed, it seems they are going to have their backs against the wall, as reflected in the pre-match odds. As our Scotland vs Brazil betting odds page shows, Brazil have been made the heavy favourites in the moneyline, which isn’t a real shock.
Given the superstar quality of the South Americans, it’s hardly surprising to see such confidence in their chances.
However, it’s worth recognising that this Selecao side is far from the one that many associate soccer with.
They have superstars in Vinicius Jr and Neymar, but they arguably don’t have the same type of players that made many fall in love with Brazil, such as those in the 90s and 00s. Indeed, the Samba flair that they wowed everyone over those decades have been missing ever since, which is why they haven’t been competing at the top level.
Still, with that said, the players they have are arguably of a greater level compared to Scotland’s squad. That’s likely why they are big favourites and why we think they will be the likely winners of this game…
If you fancy backing Brazil's stars, it's worth brushing up on how the World Cup betting markets work first, and you can always check out the all-time leading goalscorers to see whose record might tumble.
Scotland vs Brazil Score Prediction
Carlo Ancelotti will know Brazil are all but through to the next stage of the tournament, although a positive result will guarantee that. For Scotland, meanwhile, it’s a little more complex. A win guarantees progression, and a draw might be enough. But even defeat could see the Scots in the last 16, providing they don’t get a battering.
This could see the two nations approach the game in two ways: ultra-defensive or attacking.
Brazil are likely to want to attack, as they’ll want to exert their dominance on the competition after a disappointing opener against Morocco. They showcased glimpses of their quality against Haiti, but they were still far from their best.
Aside from a lapse in defensive judgement against Morocco, Scotland put in a solid showing, suggesting this game could be a lot closer than some may have predicted.
We think it’s likely that the ‘Under 2.5 Goals’ market hits in this one, as the Scots could be relatively defensive. We don’t think the BTTS will hit because Scotland struggled against a tough Moroccan side.
Our prediction is Brazil to likely win 2-0…
Player Markets to Watch
Vinicius Jr has continued to be an integral part of the Brazil team at this tournament, having scored in both games so far. He offers value as an anytime goalscorer, but against Scotland, he could have better value as the first goalscorer.
The Selecao’s attacks will often go through him, and he’ll look to get on the ball and do what everyone in soccer knows he is capable of achieving. He could also be worth value in the ‘To Score or Assist’ market, as he provided one to Matheus Cunha in the game against Haiti.
Cunha’s double against Haiti means he has value to score anytime in this one, too. He is in good form after a positive debut year for Man Utd and has three goals in his last five competitive fixtures for Brazil.
An outside bet could be for Gabriel Magalhaes to score anytime. If Brazil are able to get corners, the Arsenal defender proved he could be a threat in the Premier League, and he could be just as dangerous in this game
