Haiti vs. Scotland World Cup 2026 Prediction, Spread, Over/Under – Saturday, June 13

How to watch Haiti vs. Scotland: FS1 & Fox One (English) | Telemundo & Peacock (Spanish)

Kickoff Time: 9 pm ET

Stadium: Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, Mass. (FIFA’s Boston Stadium)

Group: Group C

For both sides, this World Cup opener marks a historic moment. For Scotland, it’s their first World Cup since 1998, after a thrilling qualifying run, finishing ahead of Denmark in Europe. Meanwhile, Haiti has not been to the World Cup in 52 years — and this will be their best chance to get group stage points.

This World Cup match on Saturday night boils down to the Scottish midfielders versus Haiti’s forwards.

Haiti’s Duckens Nazon is lightning quick and scored 6 goals in the lead-up to the World Cup. Their forwards must take advantage of any opportunities they have. Louicius Don Deedson (4 goals) and Frantzdy Pierrot (2) are dangerous in space. 

For Scotland, it is simply the midfielders facilitating the offense through set pieces and precise passing. Manager Steve Clarke’s attack usually allows these players to slip in late as the forwards make their runs. 

Midfielder Scott McTominay — who is set to play despite dealing with a stomach bug this week — netted 5 of his 6 goals this way. Haiti’s defense may have issues accounting for extra attackers.

Haiti vs. Scotland Prediction on Winner for World Cup 2026 

Here are the key stats and trends for Haiti vs. Scotland to know before making your World Cup 2026 predictions on PrizePicks.

• In his World Cup power rankings, PrizePicks soccer expert Jason Ence ranks Haiti as the second-worst side in the World Cup (47th), while Scotland comes in at 31st.
• Scotland midfielder Billy Gilmour will miss this game with a knee injury picked up vs. Curacao in an International Friendly, but it shouldn’t have much impact on the Scottish attack.
• Scotland has scored 8 goals in their final two World Cup tune-ups; most impressive, taking a 4-0 lead vs. Bolivia in the first half, when the starting XI was on the pitch.
• The 4 goals vs. Bolivia were a team effort, as Lawrence Shankland and Scott McTominay both scored a goal, while Ché Adams scored twice. 
• Haiti midfielder Jean-Ricner Bellgarde must draw fouls (99th percentile) as he did in the World Cup lead-up. If he cannot — or can’t move the ball up the pitch — Scotland will be able to control pace and possession in the midfield. 
• Scotland CM Scott McTominay scored 6 goals during the Scots’ run through qualifying; and 14 in his last 33 matches for Scotland. 
• The midfielder is the centerpiece for Scotland, and can strike from anywhere, including from distance. McTominay is dangerous slipping into space on set pieces or in transition.
• Haiti’s defense can be a liability. See their 3-0 loss in qualifying to Honduras; the 3 goals they gave up in 22 minutes were indicative of a defense that lets things snowball.
• More recently, on June 5, Haiti conceded 2 goals to Peru in just in three minutes.
• Haiti's xG conceded across the full qualifying campaign was 5.6, per FotMob — second worst in the competition vs. CONCACAF-level sides.

Haiti vs. Scotland Picks, Player Stats for World Cup: 6/13/26

Here are the top Haiti vs. Scotland player picks to target on PrizePicks for [Saturday, June 13th. Today’s World Cup 2026 picks are headlined by Scott McTominay, Angus Gunn, and John McGinn.

• Manager Steve Clarke likes to use his CM McTominay as a critical piece of offense, setting up late runs into the box for the 2025 Serie A MVP. 
• McTominay proactively jumps into transition and into set pieces, which could come in handy against Haiti.
• Haiti’s defense and midfield have not seen a player with the technical skill of McTominay yet in their matches vs. Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Honduras, New Zealand, and a recent loss to Peru. 
• That’s concerning for a Haiti defense that, just in the last year, has given up 20 shots (3 goals) to Honduras, 10 shots (2 goals) to Peru, and 10 shots (8 on goal, 5 goals) to Curacao.
• McTominay scored 10 goals in 33 matches for Napoli (Serie A) this season, averaging 3.16 shots per 90 minutes for Napoli.

• Haiti managed 8 shot attempts against Peru (FIFA ranking No. 52) in their most recent warm-up, suggesting they'll generate some offensive activity — and potentially a shot or two on goal.
• Gunn’s clean sheet against Bolivia included a critical second-half save off a free kick.
• With this being Haiti's first World Cup in 52 years and their best realistic shot at a result in Group C, manager Sébastien Migné's side won't sit entirely deep.

• Haiti will likely key in on McTominay as the most dangerous runner into the box, which creates space for McGinn to operate more freely in the half-spaces
• Plays a little more high-risk and dribbles a lot, but attempts a fair share of deliveries.
