World Cup Day 14 Cheat Sheet: Best bets for Scotland v Brazil and more

Scotland v Brazil tips and predictions

23:00 - Scotland v Brazil: Back Cunha to strike

Kevin Hatchard: While Brentford's Igor Thiago fluffed his lines in the opening game against Morocco, his replacement Cunha looked super-sharp against Haiti, scoring twice.

The 27-year-old scored in three of his final four games for Manchester United this season, and I'll back him to score again here as part of an 11/4 treble on the Betfair Sportsbook's Bet Builder.

I'll throw in a Brazil win and Scotland to pick up the most cards. Scotland have committed a sizeable tally of 34 fouls across their two games and have accrued four cautions. In the cloying heat of Miami against talented opposition, I can see them becoming frustrated.

Scotland v Brazil: Back Selecao to slice through Scots

Opta Stat: This will be Scotland's ninth competitive fixture against South American at the FIFA World Cup, failing to win any of their prior eight matches (D2 L6) while conceding 2.5 goals per game on average.

Other day 14 tips and predictions

20:00 - Switzerland v Canada: Back the stalemate

Paul Higham: Switzerland are 7/5 match favourites and have lost just two of 18 World Cup group games, but there are eight draws in there so they're not scared of a stalemate - while Canada are 9/4 underdogs but of course only really need a draw.

Jesse Marsch will be desperate to ensure home field advantage in the knockouts, so he'll likely be focused on just avoiding defeat, but that does often prove tricky in these situation. With 10 of their last 12 going under 2.5 goals though they've shown they can keep things tight.

Just looking at the possible draw it's not too bad for Switzerland as runners-up, so with no real urgency the half-time draw could be a good bet at 1/1. There's also a case to be made for the half-time score to be 0-0 at 9/5 - but teams don't tend to just play out games like they perhaps used to in World Cups.

23:00 - Morocco v Haiti: Back unders in tight contest

Jimmy The Punt: Morocco have all but confirmed their spot in the knockout stages with four points in two games.  They must better Brazil's result or win heavily to finish top of Group C. 

As it stands they'll play the Netherlands in the round of 32 and South Korea or Switzerland in the round of 16. If they finish first, they'll play Japan next and then the winner of Ivory Coast and France. 

All this is according to the BBC's World Cup schedule knock-out predictor and subject to change, but looking at that, surely the Atlas Lions would want to drop points here and take the first route. 

Instead of backing Haiti to win at a big price, I think siding with a lack of goals makes more sense.  Under 2.5 goals can be backed at 13/10 with the Sportsbook which looks big.
