Upfront, Lawrence Shankland and Che Adams will be looking to convert chances.

Haiti's hopes will largely rest on the shoulders of experienced goalkeeper Johny Placide. In midfield, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde brings European experience and technical quality. The attacking duo of Frantzdy Pierrot, who boasts 34 goals in 51 caps, and Duckens Nazon, Haiti's all-time leading scorer with 44 goals, will be crucial for any upset bid. Marcos Senesi's Girlfriend Kelci-Rose Bowers Captures Heartfelt Argentina FIFA World Cup 2026 Call-Up Reaction During Holiday (Watch Video).

Vice-Captain Pick: Andy Robertson (SCO) – High assist potential from left-back, solid defensive points, and a strong chance of a clean sheet.

Budget Differentials:

Louicius Deedson (Haiti): A speedy winger who could exploit spaces and contribute to attacking plays.

Carlens Arcus (Haiti): An attacking full-back for Haiti who could provide crosses and defensive contributions.

Players to Avoid:

Billy Gilmour (Scotland): Confirmed out due to injury.
