Brazil's superior squad depth, headlined by stars like Vinícius Júnior and emerging talents such as Endrick, alongside five-time champion pedigree and dominant CONMEBOL qualifiers, drives trader consensus at 76.5% implied probability to top Group C, further bolstered by recent medical clearance for center-back Éder Militão after an April injury scare and coach Carlo Ancelotti nearly finalizing a 26-man roster with minimal disruptions. Morocco's 18.5% reflects their 2022 semifinal run, elite counter-attacking metrics from African qualifiers, and tactical discipline under new management, positioning them as realistic challengers for second while vying for automatic advancement or best-third spot. Scotland's 5.1% and Haiti's 1.2% underscore underdog status amid long absences from the World Cup stage, limited firepower, and tough opener matchups against the favorites in the expanded 48-team format.
