Morocco and Haiti close out Group C today in Atlanta, but only one side is still playing for something. Haiti was eliminated last week after back-to-back losses, while Morocco arrives with a chance to leapfrog Brazil and win the group outright.
Kalshi traders give Morocco an 77% chance to win today's match, with a tie at 15% and Haiti at 9%.

What's at stake
Morocco sits second in Group C on four points, level with Brazil but trailing on goal difference. A win today guarantees the Atlas Lions advance and puts the group's top spot in their own hands, since Brazil would need to match or better Morocco's result in its simultaneous match against Scotland to hold first. Haiti, already mathematically eliminated, is playing only for pride and a first World Cup goal since 1974.
Group C race
The picture for Group C is tight at the top. Brazil currently leads the Group C Winner market at 69%, with Morocco the clear second choice at 31%. Scotland, who face Brazil at the same time in Miami, sit at just 2%, and Haiti is priced under 1%. Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi made his priorities clear ahead of kickoff. "I want to beat Haiti and finish ahead of Brazil," Hespress reported. Finishing top of the group would also let Morocco return to its base camp in New Jersey rather than travel for the round of 32.
Morocco's tournament so far
The Atlas Lions opened with a 1-1 draw against five-time champion Brazil, a result built on Ismael Saibari's second-minute opener before Vinicius Junior equalized for the Brazilians. Morocco followed that up with a 1-0 win over Scotland, again through Saibari, who has now scored in both of Morocco's matches.
Brahim Diaz has set up both goals, and Ouahbi singled out his playmaker's growing influence on the side, according to Hespress. Ouahbi has downplayed any rotation against Haiti despite qualification being all but assured, insisting his team will field a strong lineup and play for the win.
Haiti's tournament so far
Haiti has been outscored 4-0 across its first two matches and was eliminated before this finale even kicked off. Scotland beat the Caribbean side 1-0 in the opener on a John McGinn rebound, and Brazil followed with a 3-0 win in which Matheus Cunha scored twice and Vinicius Junior added a third, all before halftime.
Haiti is winless in five all-time World Cup matches, spanning its 1974 debut and this tournament, and has yet to score a goal across either appearance. A point or a goal today would be a tournament-defining moment for a team with nothing left to play for in the standings.
The bigger picture
Zooming out to the title race, France remains the favorite to win the World Cup at 20.1%, with Argentina second at 14.6% and Spain just behind at 13.3%. Morocco sits further down the board at 2%, but a group win today would hand the Atlas Lions a more favorable position heading into the knockout rounds, the same run that took them to the semifinals in 2022.
