Group C, MD2 | Fri June 19 — 8:30 PM ET (Fox) | Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia
Haiti's identity — direct play, aggressive attacking-third pressing, accepted defensive volatility — is heroic against peers and combustible against Brazil. Pressing Brazil's back line high means leaving Vinícius and Raphinha in 1v1s for ninety minutes; sitting off means absorbing waves of the Cunha/Luiz Henrique possession variant Ancelotti deploys when Brazil expect the ball. Haiti's genuine weapons travel, though: Bellegarde's ball progression can find Brazil's makeshift fullbacks (the Ibañez/Danilo right side remains slow to recover), and Isidor–Nazon have the directness to punish a single turnover. Expect Brazil to dominate territory and Haiti to land two or three real counterpunches — the question is whether Brazil's finishing converts dominance before one of those lands.
Vinícius Júnior vs Carlens Arcus's flank — isolation after isolation.
Endrick's case for minutes. Bellegarde vs Casemiro/Fabinho's aging legs in transition. Neymar's status (expected to miss the first two games).
BRA 4-3-3 — likely the possession-tilted personnel. HAI 4-4-2/4-2-3-1. (Refresh.)
Haiti's only previous World Cup goal famously ended Dino Zoff's 1,142-minute shutout streak in 1974. Brazil's last group-stage loss to a CONCACAF side: never.

the model likes this, but the line is over 12h old (the book hasn't reposted), so it is not recorded until the price refreshes — an intra-day run logs it once it does.
Logged pick: Brazil @ -909 (draftkings), edge 9.3pp · settled won for +0.11u · CLV -0.5pp.
spreads home -2.5: model-priced edge +12.5% exceeds the 8% cap for uncorroborated markets (priced from our own score matrix, no consensus cross-check) — not recorded
