How to watch

The stakes

For Scotland this is a generational night — their first World Cup finals appearance since France 98, in front of a Boston crowd that will sound a lot like Glasgow. For Haiti it's only their second World Cup ever, the first since 1974, and arguably the biggest match in the country's footballing history. Group C also contains Brazil and Morocco, so both sides know this match is their most realistic route to points: lose it and the group becomes a mountain.

Form & key battle

Scotland qualified on the back of organized, high-energy football with set-piece menace — corners and long throws into the box are a genuine weapon. Haiti are quick, direct and dangerous in transition, but tournament inexperience and a likely deep block mean the game flows through Scotland's midfield. If Scotland convert one of their first-half set pieces, they manage the game from there; if it's still 0–0 at the hour, nerves and Haitian counters make it a coin flip.
