The World Cup standings for Group C featured three teams who could win the group heading into the final Group Stage matches. Brazil, Morocco and Scotland all had a chance to win Group C.

Heading into the team’s match against Scotland, Brazil is in the driver’s seat to win the group, but fans will be doing a bit of scoreboard watching as well. Morocco and Brazil are tied for the lead in Group C with one game to go.

Brazil holds a two point advantage over Morocco in the goal differential category, but this could change is the team puts up a lot of goals against a struggling Haiti squad. A Brazil win over Scotland punches the team’s ticket to the Round of 32.

Yet, a Morocco win would mean Brazil needs to keep hold of the team’s advantage in the goal differential category in order to win the group.

Here’s a look at the current World Cup Group C standings.
