The key match will begin at 11pm UK time.Winning to top Group C: If Scotland manage a historic victory against Brazil and Morocco fail to beat Haiti, Steve Clarke's men could finish first in the group. In this dream scenario, they would face the runner-up of Group F in the round of 32, which could be Japan, the Netherlands, or Sweden.Winning to finish second: Should Scotland win but Morocco also secure a victory to claim the top spot, the Scots would take second place. This outcome would set up a challenging knockout tie against the winner of Group F, which is currently topped by the Netherlands.Drawing to finish third: A hard-fought draw against Brazil would leave Scotland on four points, almost certainly securing third place in the final group standings. Advancing as one of the eight best third-placed teams would pair them against the winner of either Group A (Mexico), Group E (Germany) or Group I (France or Norway).Losing but still qualifying: Even in the event of a defeat, Scotland could theoretically scrape through to the knockout stages with three points as a best third-placed team. This means Scotland would have to keep an eye on subsequent group games to see where they rank among the other third-placed teams in the tournament.Risk of tournament elimination: A heavy defeat against Brazil could see Scotland sent home from the tournament entirely if their goal difference drops significantly below other third-placed contenders. Additionally, even a narrow loss could still see them miss out if too many other groups produce third-placed teams with better records.UK television broadcast: The BBC holds the broadcasting rights for Scotland vs Brazil. The match will be shown live on BBC One, with comprehensive pre-match build-up starting at 10pm.Live stream information: Supporters without access to a traditional television can easily stream the entire game online.
