Scotland made a historic start to World Cup 2026 by winning their opener 1-0 against Group C rivals Haiti, and they head to Miami's Hard Rock Stadium knowing that a point against Brazil on Wednesday would likely see them through to the round of 32.
However, the Tartan Army suffered a 1-0 defeat against Morocco last Friday, and they will need to muster a stronger performance against Carlo Ancelotti's Selecao if they are to take anything from the game.
The travelling Scottish supporters at this summer's World Cup have garnered widespread attention and praise for the party atmosphere they brought to Boston, and Miami will be hoping to experience some of the same.
