Ladbrokes previews Scotland vs Brazil at the World Cup
Brazil are tipped to win and score at least two goals in their final Group C game
Vinicius Junior is backed for two shots on target with Aaron Hickey shown a card
Scotland face Brazil in their final World Cup group game with their hopes of reaching the knockout stages for the first time still all to play for.
The Tartan Army lost 1-0 to Morocco last week to leave them third on three points in Group C, with Brazil getting up and running with a 3-0 win over Haiti to see them climb to top spot.
Scotland could go through even with a narrow defeat against the five-time winners as one of the best third-placed teams, but the Selecao will have eyes on topping the group ahead of Morocco, who have a more favourable game against Haiti in their final game.
Ahead of a pivotal game for the Scots, Ladbrokes brings you an in-depth preview, including lineups, predictions and tips for your Brazil vs Scotland bet builder.
Our predicted XI (4-3-3): Alisson / Danilo, Gabriel, Marquinhos, Santos / Guimaraes, Casemiro, Paqueta / Rayan, Cunha, Vinicius Jr
Scotland vs Brazil bet builder tips
Vinicius Jr to have 2+ shots on target
The unused Neymar may still be the legendary figure in Brazil but it is their modern-day star Vinicius Junior who has been the key figure in their World Cup campaign so far, scoring in both games against Morocco and Haiti.
Real Madrid's left winger has averaged 1.5 shots on target over the first two games and will fancy himself to cause problems for the Scottish defence and we expect him to test Angus Gunn with at least two efforts on goal.
Aaron Hickey to be shown a card
That ties in nicely with the second of our bet-builder picks, with Aaron Hickey - the man tasked with marking Vinicius - in for a potentially tricky game.
The Brentford right-back is not afraid to get stuck in and may resort to bringing the Real Madrid man down in order to thwart his threat. Hickey has already picked up a yellow card against Haiti, and we believe he could pick up a suspension with another booking in Miami.
Brazil to score over 1.5 goals
While Brazil have already secured progression, they will be keen to secure top spot in Group C and thus have a more favourable knockout tie.
Goal difference will therefore come into play to get there ahead of Morocco, who have an easier game against Haiti, so we are expecting another attacking display from Carlo Ancelotti. Despite the blow of Raphinha's injury, the Selecao look like they are clicking into gear going forward and that's why our experts believe at least two goals could be on the cards.
Brazil to win
While a win for Scotland over Brazil at a World Cup would be a special moment, we are struggling to see anything other than a victory for Brazil, which could still prove a satisfactory result for Steve Clarke's men.
Avoiding a heavy defeat is key for Scotland, so they will undoubtedly make it difficult - much like they did against Morocco - but we are tipping Brazil to get the job done.
