World Cup Day 14 Preview: Key Matches and Teams Eyeing Advancement

The 2026 World Cup continues on Wednesday with the last group stage games for Groups A, B, and C. These matches carry heavy consequences as teams look to secure their spots in the Round of 32.

Mexico stands out as the only team guaranteed a knockout berth before Wednesday’s action begins. This leaves several other squads fighting for advancement, including co-host Canada, currently tied at the top of Group B alongside Switzerland.

Odds: Switzerland (+130), Canada (+240), Draw (+200)

Canada leads Group B by goal difference over Switzerland. The outcome will determine where the group winner plays in the Round of 32.

Time: June 24, 3 p.m. ET | Location: Seattle | Broadcast: FS1

Odds: Bosnia and Herzegovina (-270), Qatar (+650), Draw (+420)

The two lowest-ranked teams in Group B battle to keep their hopes alive. One will be eliminated after this game. The other could advance depending on the Canada-Switzerland result and goal differences. Both sides have a draw and a loss so far. Tarik Muharemović (Bosnia) and Homam El Amin, Assim Madibo (Qatar) will miss this match due to red cards.

Scotland vs. Brazil

Time: June 24, 6 p.m. ET | Location: Miami | Broadcast: Fox

Odds: Brazil (-280), Scotland (+410), Draw (+410)

Scotland have never beaten Brazil in 10 meetings, losing eight and drawing twice. Both teams are well placed to reach the next round. Brazil tops the group with four points and a +3 goal difference; Scotland sits second with three points ahead of last-place Haiti. Neymar may return after missing the first two matches, while Raphinha is doubtful with injury.

Morocco vs. Haiti

Time: June 24, 6 p.m. ET | Location: Atlanta | Broadcast: FS1

Odds: Morocco (-600), Haiti (+1600), Draw (+600)

Haiti, already out of the tournament, finishes its World Cup run against Morocco, likely advancing but still aiming to top Group C. Morocco impressed in 2022 by reaching the semifinals and currently hold a solid position after drawing with Brazil and defeating Scotland.

South Africa vs. South Korea

Time: June 24, 9 p.m. ET | Location: Guadalupe, Mexico | Broadcast: FS1

Odds: South Korea (-145), South Africa (+420), Draw (+270)

Co-hosts Mexico have secured one Round of 32 spot. South Korea can join them with a win here. South Africa has scored just once in two matches and hasn't won yet. A victory would guarantee South Korea a place in the knockouts; a draw also suffices due to their head-to-head advantage over Czechia if Czechia upsets Mexico.

Czechia vs. Mexico

Time: June 24, 9 p.m. ET | Location: Mexico City | Broadcast: Fox

Odds: Mexico (-110), Czechia (+270), Draw (+280)

Czechia needs a win and a South African upset over South Korea to keep hopes alive in Group A. Mexico aims to finish group play with three wins on home soil. Czechia hasn't advanced since 1982, while Mexico has progressed in eight of their last nine World Cups.
