Prediction
- Scotland and Haiti will both make history when they kick off Group C in the FIFA World Cup 2026 at the Boston Stadium on Sunday.
- Clarke's side bring more attacking threat than the Haitians and should have the ability to break through the compact shape that Sébastien Migné's side like to defend in.
- Migné's men will counter-attack and it could be an open match.
- A high-scoring affair looks likely here and the presence of both of these nations in the States should bring out plenty of atmosphere from the local fans and their diaspora communities.
- Haiti can be a threat on the counter, but they won't get many openings against this disciplined Scotland team and are likely to be left frustrated in the end.
