The 2026 FIFA World Cup has officially begun. June 13 is the third match day of the tournament. The first game on Saturday will feature Qatar facing off against Switzerland. The next two games will be Brazil vs. Morocco and Haiti vs. Switzerland. The nightcap on Saturday will pit Australia against Turkiye in a Group D clash in Vancouver.
Can Brazil win the game outright, cover the 0.5-goal spread, and earn 3 points in their first group game on Saturday? Will Scotland begin their group play with an outright win in Foxborough, MA, USA? Are there any additional bets with potential value on Saturday?
I'll make picks for both contests below. Continue reading for our World Cup Predictions June 13 article.

Brazil vs. Morocco World Cup June 13 Game Result Pick
Morocco enters its 2026 World Cup opener at MetLife Stadium ready to cover the 0.5-goal spread as neutral-site underdogs against Brazil this Saturday.
The Atlas Lions enter the tournament in dominant form, recently outscoring Burundi and Madagascar 9-0 before drawing a tough Norway squad 1-1. Crucially, Morocco knows how to beat the Selecao, having stunned them 2-1 in a March 2023 friendly.
Brazil's attack takes a massive hit with Neymar Jr. ruled out, and they will also be missing fullback Wesley Franca. Morocco’s Abde Ezzalzouli is doubtful, but star defender Noussair Mazraoui will be ready to go.
Given Morocco’s proven defensive discipline and Brazil’s notable absences, backing the underdogs is a sharp play, especially given the favorable odds.
Pick: Morocco +0.5 (+120)

Haiti vs. Scotland World Cup June 13 Game Result Pick
As neutral-site favorites, Scotland has an excellent opportunity to cover the 0.5-goal spread against Haiti this Saturday in their 2026 World Cup match in Foxborough.
The Tartan Army arrives in dominant form, recently thrashing Bolivia 4-0 and Curacao 4-1, with striker Lawrence Shankland netting 3 goals across those victories. Scotland midfielder Billy Gilmour (knee) and center-back Scott McKenna (calf) have been ruled out. But talisman Scott McTominay is expected to be fully fit despite a recent stomach bug.
Haiti, making their first World Cup appearance since 1974, suffered a blow with midfielder Leverton Pierre being ruled out. Given Scotland's organized European pedigree and clinical attack, backing Steve Clarke’s squad to win outright is the value play on Saturday.
Pick: Scotland -0.5 (-185)
World Cup Predictions June 13 Bonus Pick
The first game of the day on Saturday is Qatar vs. Switzerland at 3 PM at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, CA, USA. It pits Qatar, which is one of the worst teams in the tournament, against Switzerland, a team that is the clear favorite to win Group B. The Swiss were terrific in qualifying, going undefeated across their 6 matches (4 wins and 2 draws) with a combined goal differential of 14-2.
This will be Switzerland's easiest game of the group stage, and should be a prime opportunity for them to score multiple goals to strengthen their position to win the group. The total for this game is 2.5 goals at -145 odds. That's not a bad bet. But the bet I really like for this game is Switzerland -1.5 at -145 odds. Qatar will likely be overmatched, and Switzerland should net multiple goals in a fairly easy World Cup opening victory.
