What Brazil vs. Scotland Starting Lineups Mean for World Cup 2026 Predictions
Rayan’s introduction to the starting XI will be welcomed following the news of Raphinha’s latest injury. The Brazilian teenager is considered one of the country’s brightest young prospects, and could have an immediate effect in his first career World Cup start tonight.
After a tough 1-1 draw vs. Morocco, Brazil’s attack broke through for three goals vs. Haiti on 1.75 expected goals (xG). Now, with Rayan starting on the right wing, you can expect him to invert at times, looking for a shot or pass from long range.
For PrizePicks, that puts extra focus on players like Matheus Cunha, Vinícius Jr., and Lucas Paquetá, who will all see more space as a result of Rayan’s gravity. At just 19-years-old, Rayan has already solidified himself as a threat from distance with his cannon of a left foot.
