Today's football tips for 13 Jun 2026: analysis of 3 matches on Day 3 of the 2026 World Cup and today's football schedule.
On 13 June 2026, today's football tips focus again on the 2026 World Cup Day 3 schedule, featuring three matches from early dawn to morning Thai time. The highlight is the Brazil national team, five-time World Cup champions. Follow the match analyses and key predictions as follows.
- 2026 World Cup Group B, first match / kickoff at 02:00.
Qatar, host of the last World Cup, is preparing for its second tournament appearance after winning Group A in the Asian qualifiers, drawing 0-0 with Oman and beating UAE 2-1. However, in the following six matches, they have not won, losing four and drawing two. Under coach Julen Lopetegui, former manager of Real Madrid, Sevilla, Wolverhampton, and West Ham, Qatar's form has been poor with two wins, four draws, and seven losses. Qatar's only meeting with Switzerland was a 1-0 friendly win in 2018. This match will feature three forwards: Akram Afif, Edmilson Junior, and Yusuf Abdurisak. Defensively, Pedro Miguel, a former Cape Verde youth international, will lead the backline.
Switzerland will compete in their 13th World Cup, aiming to go beyond the quarterfinals, which they reached three times (1934, 1938, 1954). After finishing top of Group B in qualifying with an unbeaten record of four wins and two draws, their last 14 games include only one loss, 3-4 to Germany in March. This match is expected to see Burnley's striker Sekou Amadou start ahead of Breel Embolo, supported on the wings by Dan Ndoye and Ruben Vargas. Granit Xhaka will control the midfield. Overall, Switzerland looks stronger and likely to defeat Qatar.
Match prediction Switzerland will narrowly beat Qatar for a comfortable win.
- 2026 World Cup Group C, first match / kickoff at 05:00.
Brazil, the most successful nation in World Cup history, will chase their sixth title after a 24-year gap. Carlo Ancelotti has been appointed as the first foreign coach in Brazil's history. His record so far is mixed: 12 matches with seven wins, two draws, and three losses, including defeats to Bolivia and Japan. However, Brazil has improved in the last three matches with wins over Croatia, Panama, and Egypt. Neymar, the top scorer, remains injured and unavailable, so the attack will rely on Vinicius Junior, Matheus Cunha, and Raphinha, with Casemiro, Bruno Guimaraes, and Lucas Paqueta orchestrating the midfield.
Morocco hopes to surprise again after finishing fourth last time, the highest for an African nation. Since 2023, their form has greatly improved: 33 wins, 10 draws, and only two losses in 45 matches, surpassing the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany in world rankings. Despite changing coaches from Walid Regragui to Mohamed Ouahbi, they remain unbeaten in five games (three wins, two draws). Morocco beat Brazil 2-1 in a 2023 friendly but recently lost key players Nayef Aguerd and Abde Ezzalzouli to injury. Core players such as Achraf Hakimi, Brahim Diaz, Noussair Mazraoui, and Ismaila Sbaï remain, but Morocco may struggle against Brazil.
Match prediction Brazil will edge out Morocco for the win.
- 2026 World Cup Group C, first match / kickoff at 08:00.
Scotland is preparing for its ninth World Cup appearance after a 28-year absence. They won Group C in qualifying ahead of Denmark and Greece, with four wins, one draw, and one loss. In 2026, they lost two consecutive matches 0-1 to Japan and Ivory Coast, but bounced back in friendlies with a 4-1 win over Curaçao and a 4-0 thrashing of Bolivia. Scotland aims to secure three points against Haiti to advance to the knockout stage in a major tournament for the first time, having been eliminated in the group stage in all 12 previous attempts (8 World Cups, 4 Euros). They will be without key midfielder Billy Gilmour due to injury and must monitor the fitness of Scott McTominay and Scott McKenna. Fortunately, key players such as Andy Robertson, John McGinn, and Lewis Ferguson remain. Goalkeeper Craig Gordon will compete for the starting spot with Angus Gunn.
Haiti returns to the World Cup for only the second time after 52 years, when they were eliminated in the first round. They qualified surprisingly by winning Group C in the third CONCACAF qualifying round ahead of Honduras and Costa Rica, with three wins, two draws, and one loss. This year, Haiti has won only against New Zealand 4-0, drawn 1-1 with Iceland, and lost 0-1 to Tunisia and 1-2 to Peru. This match is a good opportunity for Haiti to seek their first World Cup points, more so than facing Brazil or Morocco. This will be their first meeting with Scotland. Haiti has no injuries but relies mainly on Wilson Isidor and Jean Ricner Bellegarde, two forwards with Premier League experience, though they may find it difficult against Scotland.
Match prediction Scotland will narrowly defeat Haiti.
