What are the qualifying scenarios for Group C?
As things stand, Brazil and Morocco are the frontrunners to secure direct qualification.
The two teams will be the overwhelming favorites against their respective opponents. Morocco will look to improve their goal difference against Haiti, the lowest ranked team this World Cup, in the hope of qualifying as group winners.
Brazil needs at least a draw to secure the top two. Scotland will most likely finish in third place and will be hoping to get into the top eight third-placed teams. It is better positioned if it finishes with four points.
Only twice has a team with four points in third place in the group failed to progress, and both times were at the U-20 World Cup. There is a success rate of just under 50% for teams that finish on three points, but almost all of those teams have a positive goal difference. Three points and a negative goal difference give a less than one in three chance of advancing.
