Brazil vs. Morocco World Cup 2026 Prediction, Spread, Over/Under — Saturday, June 13
How to watch Brazil vs. Morocco: FOX (English) / Telemundo/Peacock
Kickoff Time: 6:00 p.m. ET
Venue: MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey
Group: Group C
The World Cup means everything to Brazil. They've won the competition a record five times and have won their group in each of the last 11 tournaments.
But since winning in Japan in 2002, Brazil have not once passed the quarterfinals. Their performance in CONMEBOL qualification was mediocre at best, and it was clear a change was needed. That’s why Carlo Ancelotti was hired to come in and take over as manager, and he’s done well.
This Brazil team has flaws, but Ancelotti has brought stability to the squad. They’ve won four of their last six friendlies, all played against World Cup-qualified sides, with only a 2-1 defeat to France blemishing their record.
Ancelotti has brought back the swagger to the Brazilian team and could be precisely the manager this attacking nation needs. He’s a manager who is brilliant at utilizing the tools at his disposal to get the best out of a team, and he’s done that with a Brazil team that is loaded in attack with the likes of Vinícius Júnior, Raphinha, Igor Thiago, and Matheus Cunha.
One area where Brazil is weak is at fullback, but that’s a problem Morocco doesn’t have. RB Achraf Hakimi is the best in the world at his position, and his opposite flank will be manned by Noussair Mazraoui. They will be tasked with slowing down the likes of Raphinha and Vinícius Júnior, while also pushing forward in attack.
Morocco loves to sit back and counterattack with pace, utilizing the trio of Brahim Díaz, Ismael Saibari, and Bilal El Khannouss in attack.
Many are familiar with Díaz given his time at Real Madrid, and he’s key to this Moroccan attack. He scored in five consecutive matches at AFCON and bagged a goal in their recent 1-1 draw with Norway.
The biggest concern for Morocco is how they’ll perform under new management. The abrupt resignation of Walid Regragui less than 100 days before World Cup 2026 threw things into disarray.
Mohamed Ouahbi is now in charge. He’s a former U-23 manager with no major international experience, although he’s unbeaten in five matches.
Brazil have not lost their opening World Cup match since 1934. Given the attacking talent at their disposal and the clear advantage at manager, the odds are in their favor of extending that streak.
Our 2026 World Cup Power Rankings place Brazil eighth and Morocco 15th.

Brazil vs. Morocco Picks, Player Stats for World Cup: 6/13/26
Here are the top Brazil vs. Morocco player picks to target on PrizePicks for Saturday, June 13. Today’s World Cup 2026 picks are headlined by Vinícius Júnior and Brahim Díaz.
Brazil FW Vinícius Júnior Pick vs. Morocco: 24.5 Passes Attempted
- Vinícius Júnior has averaged 30 passes per match in his last six Brazil starts where he’s played at least 57 minutes.
- Each of those six starts has seen him attempt at least 28 passes.
- The winger averaged 35.97 passes per 90 minutes for Real Madrid in La Liga play this season.
- Brazil held possession at a 62.1% clip during CONMEBOL qualification, with 461.4 accurate passes per match.
- Vinícius Júnior will be matched up with Morocco’s Achraf Hakimi, who is a key piece of Morocco’s attack. His desire to push up could often leave Vini with space to operate with teammates finding him in space.
- Carlo Ancelotti has made Vinícius Júnior the focal point of Brazil’s attack. His 18 chances created since Ancelotti’s appointment are the most of any player in the squad.

Morocco FW Brahim Díaz Pick vs. Brazil: 19.5 Passes Attempted
- Brahim Díaz is the primary forward playmaker for Morocco, and over his last nine national team appearances, he’s averaged 24.57 passes per 90 minutes.
- Díaz has seen a bit less of the ball of late, managing just 24 passes in 97 minutes over his last three starts.
- During AFCON, Morocco averaged 57% possession with Díaz averaging 28.46 passes per 90 minutes.
- Díaz will likely be matched up with 35-year-old Alex Sandro, who is significantly slower.
- In addition, Díaz will be operating on the same side of the pitch as Vini and Hakimi. Should Brazil continue to push the attack down that flank, recoveries by Hakimi and the Moroccan defense would lead to Díaz being a primary outlet for transitioning into attack.
Combine Morocco + Díaz World Cup picks for bigger payouts on PrizePicks.
