Scotland face Brazil in their final World Cup group stage match on Wednesday, June 24, with a historic place in the knockout rounds within reach. Steve Clarke's side need only a draw to almost certainly advance for the first time, while a victory would guarantee a top-two finish in the group.
Match Details and Broadcast Information
The game kicks off at 11pm BST at the Miami Stadium in Miami. It will be broadcast live on BBC One, with coverage starting at 10pm. Fans can also stream the match via BBC iPlayer or the BBC Sport website.
Scotland's Path to the Knockout Stages
After a 1-0 win against Haiti and a narrow defeat to Morocco, Scotland sit well-placed to progress as one of the eight best third-placed teams. A draw would effectively seal their place, while a victory would assure a top-two finish. However, a heavy defeat could jeopardise their chances, as goal difference may be crucial.
Team News
Scotland could be without Scott McKenna, Aaron Hickey and Lewis Ferguson, all of whom missed training at the weekend. There is also a question mark over Ben Gannon-Doak, who was a surprise substitute against Morocco. Brazil are without Raphinha due to a hamstring injury, but Neymar is fit and could feature from the bench.
What Scotland Need to Qualify
A win would guarantee a place in the knockout stages for the first time. A draw, while not guaranteed, would almost certainly be enough, taking them to four points. A 1-0 defeat would leave them on three points and a goal difference of -1, which should be sufficient to finish as one of the eight third-placed teams. However, a heavier loss could see their chances diminish.
