After a 1-1 draw against Morocco, Brazil need a different kind of performance when they face Haiti on Friday, June 19.
Vinicius Jr., Raphinha, and Igor Thiago should prove too much for a struggling Haitian defence. Here are my Brazil vs Haiti predictions and World Cup picks for this Group C clash.

TOP PICK
Who will win Brazil vs Haiti: Brazil -2.5 (-108)
Brazil were far from impressive against Morocco in their opening match of the 2026 World Cup, but this is a completely different challenge. This could well be the most one-sided match of the second round of group-stage fixtures.
As things stand, there appears to be only one likely outcome. Haiti will look to sit deep in a 4-3-2-1 formation and strike on the counterattack whenever the opportunity arises.
Brazil could initially be frustrated by the number of bodies behind the ball, but the quality of Vinicius and Raphinha should eventually unlock the Haitian defense.
I expect Brazil's attacking talent to make the difference, with the goals likely to flow in this Group C clash in Philadelphia. It's also worth noting that Brazil have never scored fewer than six goals in a match against Haiti.

Brazil vs Haiti Over/Under pick: Over 3.5 (-116)
This is not the type of game in which Brazil can afford to take their foot off the gas after scoring one or two goals. They were far from convincing against Morocco, so any opportunity to erase that impression should be seized.
Ancelotti could also make a few changes to his starting line-up. Cunha may come in for Paqueta after his solid display against Morocco, while Fabinho could replace Casemiro in midfield. The main task for Brazil's midfielders will be to provide quality service to the attacking players.
Vinicius, Raphinha, Thiago, and Cunha should all be heavily involved, with Brazil expected to dominate possession and create the vast majority of the chances. Panama, a team that could be considered comparable to Haiti, suffered a 6-2 defeat to Brazil just days before the World Cup began.
Haiti are likely to spend long periods defending, and it's difficult to see them holding out against Brazil's attacking quality.
I even like the alt line of Over 4.5 at +213.
