Haiti face Scotland in World Cup opener Sunday

Sunday. Scotland. Group C opener.

Haiti kick off their World Cup campaign this Sunday against Scotland in Charlotte. It's the first Group C match for both sides, and for Haiti, the chance to set the tone immediately against a team expected to advance.

Scotland's preparations are in full swing. John McGinn is confident: "When the real stuff starts it doesn't matter what temperature it is, Scotland at a World Cup can turn it up even more." (2) The Scots are adapting to the Charlotte heat and believe they can start strong.

But nobody knows what Haiti are bringing. And that silence might be your biggest weapon.

The unknown factor

Haiti arrive with zero internal coverage, no tactical leaks, and no injury news from camp. While Scotland's buildup has been dissected in detail, your team remains a blank page. Opponents can't prepare for what they can't study.

A full preview from Ole covers Haiti's World Cup history, qualification path, and key figures, but the current form and squad situation are a mystery to everyone outside the camp. (1)
