Result against Scotland shapes Brazil's path in the Cup, see scenarios
Brazil take on Scotland this Wednesday at 7 p.m., with their World Cup future on the line.
Currently top of Group C with four points, Brazil are playing to secure qualification and find out their knockout-stage path.
The result of this match will determine all the logistics for the next round: dates, kick-off times, venues, and the level of difficulty of their opponents.
Even in the event of a defeat, their current four points would all but guarantee the team a place in the next round as one of the eight best third-placed sides.
Check out the three possible paths for Brazil below:
Scenario 1

For that to happen, Brazil simply need to hold on to their current lead.
