After a disappointing opening match with a 1-1 draw against Morocco, Brazil is aiming for its first victory at the 2026 World Cup when it faces the weaker opponent Haiti. Many major newspapers around the world are confident of a resounding victory for Carlo Ancelotti's team.

Sport Mole (England) commented: “Brazil didn’t perform as expected in the match against Morocco, but Vinicius’s superb finish helped the Selecao secure a valuable point. Despite being considered a title contender, Brazil clearly needs to perform better to live up to expectations.”
Brazil haven't won the World Cup since 2002. They haven't even gotten past the quarter-finals since 2014. It's hard to imagine Brazil failing to win against Haiti. In their most recent encounter at the 2016 Copa America, Brazil thrashed Haiti 7-1.

Haiti conceded 17 goals in their three previous defeats against Brazil. In their opening match of the 2026 World Cup, despite their best efforts, they suffered a 0-1 defeat against Scotland. Haiti will be eliminated from the World Cup if they lose to Brazil and Morocco wins against Scotland.
In their 1974 World Cup appearance, Haiti suffered easy defeats in all three matches. Just one point in this game would have allowed the CONCACAF team to make history.”
Sport Mole suggests that Brazil will vent their anger on weaker opponent Haiti to gain an advantage in the race to qualify for the next round.
Sport Mole predicts Brazil will win 4-0 against Haiti.
The Indian newspaper Sportskeeda also stated that Brazil is superior to Haiti in many aspects. In the past, the Selecao have won against Haiti 7-1, 6-0, and 4-0. Therefore, Brazil will have no difficulty securing a resounding victory in this match.
Sportskeeda also predicted Brazil would beat Haiti 4-0.
Meanwhile, Sports Illustrated (USA) predicted Brazil would win 2-0 against Haiti.
According to Opta's supercomputer predictions, Brazil has an 87.3% chance of winning. Haiti's chances of winning are only 4.3%. The probability of the match ending in a draw is 8.4%.
