Brazil failed to secure a victory in their opening match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, drawing against Morocco. However, the result was not considered a major disappointment, as Morocco have emerged as one of the most improved national teams in world football over the past two years.
A single point leaves Brazil in a solid position, and they now face what appears to be the weakest team in Group G: Haiti.
For the Seleção, anything less than three points would be viewed as a major surprise. Given the quality gap between the two sides, Brazil will also be aiming for a convincing victory to strengthen their goal difference.
Haiti, meanwhile, began their campaign with a defeat to Scotland, marking their second consecutive loss in all competitions. The Caribbean nation faces a daunting challenge against one of the tournament favorites.
The gap in quality is also reflected in the FIFA rankings, where Brazil are ranked 5th while Haiti sit 85th—a difference of 80 places.
Head-to-Head Record
History strongly favors Brazil.
The two nations first met in 1959, when Brazil recorded a dominant 9-1 victory.
Subsequent meetings have produced similarly one-sided results:
- 2004 (Friendly): Brazil 6-0 Haiti
- 2016 (Copa América): Brazil 7-1 Haiti
Across those three encounters, Brazil have scored an astonishing 22 goals against Haiti.
