Haiti vs Scotland – predictions and odds – 2026 World Cup (14/06/2026)

Haiti and Scotland kick off their World Cup campaigns in a clash of cultures and styles that is as exotic as they come. The Caribbean side are making their second World Cup appearance following their debut in Germany 1974, whilst the Scots will hear their spectacular anthem played at a World Cup for the first time since 1998.

On paper, Scotland are clear favourites, as the Tartan Army are a solid, reliable side with several players capable of making the difference against a Haiti side lacking players of international standing. One such player will undoubtedly be Scott McTominay, whose life – and consequently his sporting career – was transformed by the olive oil and sunshine of Naples. The exceptional Scottish midfielder arrives at this World Cup as Scotland’s standard-bearer and is expected to shoulder that responsibility from the outset.

The Napoli player’s superb aerial ability, combined with his knack for popping up in the opposition’s box, are undeniable. Everything suggests it is highly likely that the former Manchester United man will score against a Haiti side that faces a tough test in dealing with the crosses from the flanks and the intensity of a Scotland team arriving in North America hungry and eager to please their passionate supporters.
