Group H of the 2026 World Cup opens on Saturday with Scotland facing Haiti. Scotland returns to the tournament for the first time since 1998, while Haiti makes its debut after an impressive qualifying run. Both teams are placed in a challenging group that also includes Brazil and Morocco.
The match kicks off at 9 p.m. ET. Current odds from FanDuel Sportsbook show Scotland as a -195 favorite on the 90‑minute money line, Haiti at +400, and a draw at +360. The total goals over/under is set at 2.5.
SportsLine analyst Martin Green, a veteran sports writer and handicapper, has released his predictions for the game. Green notes Scotland’s strong qualifying campaign, where they topped their group unbeaten and scored 13 goals in six matches, including a 4‑2 victory over Denmark. He expects Scotland to enter the match in high morale after ending a 28‑year World Cup absence.
Haiti, also debutants, qualified despite playing home games in Curaçao due to security concerns, finishing ahead of Honduras and Costa Rica. Their attack features Sunderland forward Wilson Isidor and Wolves midfielder Jean‑Ricner Bellegarde, offering a genuine scoring threat.
Key betting lines
- Money line: Scotland -195, Haiti +400, Draw +360
- Over/Under 2.5 goals: Over -158, Under +128
- Spread: Scotland -1.5 (+138)
Green’s primary recommendation is to bet the over on 2.5 goals at -158, citing both teams’ offensive capabilities.
