Friday's slate:
- United States vs Australia
- Morocco vs Scotland in Boston
- Brazil vs Haiti in Philadelphia

Scotland vs Morocco
Scotland and Morocco have met only once before at a World Cup. Morocco 3-0 in the group stage at France 1998.
Since 2018, nine of Morocco's 12 World Cup matches have been against European teams.
The Opta supercomputer calculates Morocco as clear favourites in Boston, giving them a 54.2 percent chance of victory. Scotland are backed to win in 20.9 percent of simulations, while a draw is considered the outcome in 24.9 percent.
USA vs Australia
Both teams opened their World Cup campaigns with victories, but the cohost nation heads into this clash as the clear favourites in Opta's model.
After 25,000 pre-match simulations, Mauricio Pochettino's side 58.5 percent of the scenarios, highlighting confidence in the USA's chances of making it two wins from two.
Australia were victorious on Matchday 1 as well, but the Socceroos are given just a 20.6 percent chance of winning, while a draw was rated at 20.9 percent.
Brazil vs Haiti
The sides have faced each other three times before, with Brazil winning all three. The South Americans have scored 17 goals across those meetings while conceding just once.
Brazil are overwhelming favourites in Opta's projections, with an 87.3 percent chance of victory. Haiti have just a 4.3 percent chance of pulling off a major upset, while the draw is rated at 8.4 percent.
Brazil remain well placed in Group C despite not winning their opener, with a 52 percent chance of topping the group and a 90.3 percent chance of reaching the last 32. Haiti, meanwhile have only a 5.8 percent chance of making the knockout stage after their defeat to Scotland.
Turkiye vs Paraguay
Turkiye and Paraguay are set to meet at a World Cup for the first time. Their only previous encounter ended in a goalless friendly in 1995.
Turkiye are slight favourites in Opta's 25,000 pre-match simulations, winning 49.4 percent of outcomes. Paraguay triumph in 23.7 percent, while draws account for 26.9 percent of outcomes.
Canada, Mexico, and Kone injury news
