Brazil were held in their opener and need a convincing response against a Haiti side that they dismantled 7-1 the last time they met in a major tournament. With Neymar, Vinícius Jr., and Raphinha leading a deep attacking unit, the Seleção are expected to dominate possession and create a high volume of chances. Haiti's narrow 0-1 loss in their first group game and a modest 1.05 xG suggest they will sit deep and try to frustrate, but the gulf in class and Brazil's urgency to secure qualification should overwhelm that defensive block. The key battle will be Brazil's creative midfield against Haiti's low block; an early goal could open the floodgates.
Brazil's individual quality and depth far exceed Haiti's; the historical 7-1 win underscores the mismatch, and Brazil must win after their opening draw.
Haiti failed to score in their first group match and managed only 1.05 xG; Brazil's defense, despite conceding once, should keep a clean sheet against a limited attack.
Brazil created better chances in their opener (1.26 xG) and are up against a minnow they hit seven past in the past; the likelihood of at least three goals are strong.
