The situation in Group C is almost settled, particularly regarding the qualification spots. Morocco’s match against Haiti in the early hours of June 25 will primarily determine the final standings in the group. However, securing first place is not entirely in Morocco’s hands, as the outcome of Scotland vs Brazil and the goal-difference calculations could also play a role.
In reality, defeating Haiti is not expected to be a difficult task for Morocco. The North African side are widely regarded as the superior team and may choose to focus on avoiding injuries and suspensions rather than engaging in unnecessary physical battles. This approach could significantly reduce the intensity of the match and keep the card count low.
Recent statistics also support the expectation of a disciplined contest. Across Morocco’s first two World Cup group-stage matches, there have been only two cards shown per game. Haiti have displayed a similar trend, averaging just 1.9 cards per match over their last ten outings.
Given the relatively low stakes compared to other decisive group-stage fixtures and the disciplinary records of both teams, a low-card match appears to be the most likely outcome.
Pick: Haiti to receive more cards & Under total cards.
First-Half Card Prediction
As mentioned, this is a match focused more on group positioning than survival. Consequently, neither side is expected to adopt an overly aggressive approach from the opening whistle.
Morocco’s recent first-half card statistics are particularly noteworthy. Only one of their last four matches featured a booking before halftime. Haiti have also shown limited disciplinary action early in games, with just two yellow cards across their two World Cup group-stage matches before the break.
These trends suggest a quiet opening 45 minutes with few fouls severe enough to warrant bookings.
Pick: Haiti to receive more first-half cards & Under first-half cards.
