Group C World Cup Odds & Betting

Group C is one of the most eye-catching in the draw, pairing five-time world champions Brazil with the team that shocked the world in 2022. Morocco reached the semi-finals four years ago and arrive as genuine contenders to challenge for top spot.
Scotland make their first World Cup appearance since 1998, while CONCACAF debutants Haiti complete a fascinating group that has something for every type of football fan.
Brazil are heavy favourites to top the group under Carlo Ancelotti, though their CONMEBOL qualifying campaign had its turbulent moments including a 5-1 defeat to the USA. Morocco are the real story of modern World Cup football and arrive as one of the most respected sides in the tournament.
Scotland's return after 28 years will generate enormous support from UK fans, and Steve Clarke's side will be desperate to make their mark against Haiti before facing the bigger tests. Haiti are the rank outsiders but their presence represents one of the tournament's most heartwarming qualification stories.
Brazil and Morocco are the clear favourites to progress, but Scotland will have designs on the third-place berth that could still be enough to advance under the expanded format. The Brazil vs Morocco match on June 13 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey is one of the standout group stage fixtures of the entire tournament.

Gamble Responsibly
Betting on the World Cup should be an enjoyable part of following the tournament. With 64 matches across six weeks, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved in the markets, but it's important to approach it in a way that stays fun from the group stage right through to the final. Here's everything you need to know about betting safely.
Set a Budget Before the Tournament Starts
The single most effective thing you can do before placing your first bet is decide how much you're comfortable spending across the whole tournament. With matches coming thick and fast during the group stage, it's easy to find yourself betting more than you intended without a clear limit in place.
Think of your betting budget the same way you'd think about any other entertainment spend — a ticket to a gig, a night out, a sports subscription. Once it's gone, it's gone. Breaking your total budget down by week or by round can help you pace yourself and make sure you've still got something to bet with when the knockout stages arrive.
Never Chase Your Losses
Chasing losses is one of the most common ways recreational betting stops being enjoyable and starts becoming a problem. If your bets aren't landing, the instinct can be to place a bigger bet to win it back quickly. That instinct is worth ignoring. No bet is ever a certainty, and increasing your stakes when you're on a losing run is more likely to make things worse than better.
If things aren't going your way, the best thing to do is step back, stick to your budget, and come back fresh for the next set of fixtures. The World Cup is a long tournament — there's always another game around the corner.
Use the Safer Gambling Tools Available to You
Every UK-licensed bookmaker is required by law to offer free tools to help you manage your betting. These are available in the responsible gambling or safer gambling section of your account and include:
- Deposit limits - cap how much money you can add to your account daily, weekly or monthly
- Loss limits - set a maximum amount you're willing to lose over a given period
- Session time limits - receive reminders or automatic logouts after a set amount of time
- Cooling-off periods - temporarily restrict your account for a set number of days if you need a break
- Self-exclusion - close your account for a longer period if you feel you need more significant time away
These tools are there to be used. Setting deposit or loss limits at the start of the tournament is a straightforward way to make sure your betting stays within the budget you've set for yourself, without having to rely on willpower alone.
Know the Signs That Gambling Might Be a Problem
For most people, betting on football is a harmless bit of fun. But it's worth knowing the signs that gambling might be becoming a problem, for yourself or someone you know. These can include betting more than you can afford to lose, finding it hard to stop once you've started, gambling to escape stress or difficult feelings, hiding your gambling from friends or family, or feeling anxious or irritable when you're not able to bet.
If any of those sound familiar, it's worth reaching out for support sooner rather than later. Problem gambling is more common than many people realise, and help is available.
