Group C kicks off with a fixture that could set the tone for the rest of the draw, as the 2026 FIFA World Cup<\/a> hands Brazil a Morocco side that has been quietly rebuilt since reaching the semifinals three years ago. Kick-off is Saturday, June 13 at 6:00 PM ET \/ 5:00 PM CT \/ 4:00 PM MT \/ 3:00 PM PT, with MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford the host.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

On paper, this is a mismatch. The Sele\u00e7\u00e3o rank among the shortest-priced teams in the tournament and have spent the build-up tightening a squad that was already deeper than most rivals can dream of. Morocco, though, are not a typical mid-seed: they reached the final four in Qatar, they have improved at international level since, and they have made a habit of frustrating teams who underestimate them.<\/p>\n\n

That dynamic shapes our whole read on the game. Brazil should win it, but the route there matters. Morocco have the legs and the structure to drag favourites into a longer afternoon, and the smart money is on Brazil edging through a more open contest than the price suggests.<\/p>\n\n

At the sportsbooks, Brazil sit at \u2212175 on bet365 to take all three points, the draw is +300, and a Morocco upset is priced at +425. The line is firmly with the South Americans, but +800 on a 2-1 Brazil correct score reads like the market quietly agreeing that this won’t be a stroll.<\/p>\n\n

Brazil vs Morocco: Best Bets & Predictions<\/h2>\n\n

The shape of our card leans into both the Brazil win and the open-game read, with Over 2.5 and BTTS supporting the same thesis: this is a Sele\u00e7\u00e3o victory with a Moroccan goal in it.<\/p>\n\n
