World Cup Best Bets - Group C - June 25

Morocco are in a strong position heading into their final group game, knowing that a draw against the weakest side in Group C will likely be enough to see them through as one of the top two sides. The three points they secured against Scotland in their last match coupled with their draw with Brazil means they have four points. This is enough to see Morocco sitting in second on goal difference. Defeat in this match would still see Morocco go through in second if Scotland lose to Brazil, but Morocco will know they should beat an opponent that have conceded four times and failed to score. 

Scotland need a big result against Brazil after seeing their promising start to their World Cup campaign hit a speedbump. Their 1-0 win over Haiti made way for a 1-0 loss to Morocco. After ending on both sides of a single-goal scoreline, Scotland need to find a way to score goals in this one. Brazil boast a front-line that found form against Haiti as they scored three times. This likely means that Scotland will not be able to count solely on scoring one goal and keeping a clean sheet. A point may prove enough to go through as a best third-placed finisher, but as one of the first groups to play their final games, Scotland will not want to leave their fate up to the other teams at the tournament.
