Match Preview: What’s at stake?

Scotland and Slovenia meet at Hampden Park with four points apiece after the first three rounds of League B Group 1 of the UEFA Nations League. Switzerland leads the group with nine points, while Scotland and Slovenia are tied for second and North Macedonia sits at the bottom without a point. That makes Tuesday’s meeting particularly important in the race for second place and a potential promotion playoff spot.

The two teams already faced each other on September 26, when they played to a 0-0 draw in Ljubljana. Scotland subsequently lost 3-0 to Switzerland before responding with a 2-0 win over North Macedonia on October 3. Kieron Bowie scored his first international goal in that victory, while John McGinn added a penalty. The result was also Sebastien Pocognoli‘s first win as head coach.

Slovenia followed the draw with Scotland by beating North Macedonia 2-0, but they then suffered a 2-1 defeat against Switzerland. Zan Vipotnik gave Slovenia an early lead in that match before an own goal from Erik Janza and a Dan Ndoye strike turned the game around. With both sides sitting on four points, a victory at Hampden would provide a significant boost in the battle behind unbeaten Switzerland.

Match Preview: What’s at stake?

Scotland vs Switzerland is Matchday 2 of UEFA Nations League League B, Group B1, with both teams looking to make an early statement in a group that also includes Slovenia and North Macedonia.

Scotland open their campaign away to Slovenia on September 26, while Switzerland travel to North Macedonia on the same day. Three days later, they meet at Hampden Park before the group continues with four more fixtures through November.

For Scotland, the match marks an important first home test under Sebastien Pocognoli, who was appointed as the new head coach after the 2026 World Cup. Pocognoli’s first squad includes seven uncapped players and 14 players who were not part of Scotland’s World Cup squad, highlighting the changes being made as the team starts a new cycle. The Scottish FA also confirmed that Kieran Tierney and Kenny McLean have since withdrawn through injury.

Switzerland also enter the Nations League looking to establish themselves in League B after spending previous editions at a higher level. The Swiss FA has made clear that the objective is to demonstrate that the team belongs in League A, while the opening schedule gives them two consecutive away matches against North Macedonia and Scotland before returning home.

Match Preview: What’s at stake?

Slovenia vs Scotland opens UEFA Nations League Group B1 at Stadion Stozice, with both teams looking to make an early statement in a group that also includes Switzerland and North Macedonia.

Scotland are attempting to return to League A after relegation in the previous Nations League edition, while Slovenia remain in League B after surviving their promotion/relegation playoff against Slovakia in 2025.

The game also begins a new era for Scotland, with Sebastien Pocognoli taking charge after Steve Clarke‘s departure following the 2026 World Cup. Scotland qualified for the World Cup as European qualifying group winners but were eliminated in the group stage, and Pocognoli’s first competitive assignment now comes against Slovenia.

Slovenia enter the match looking to reverse a difficult period. The team failed to win any of its six 2026 World Cup qualifying matches, recording four draws and two defeats, and finished third in its qualifying group.

Their Nations League campaign therefore offers an immediate opportunity to rebuild competitively, although they will be without Benjamin Sesko, who was not released by Manchester United because of a recurring shin injury.

What time is the Slovenia vs Scotland match?

The Slovenia vs Scotland match kicks off on Saturday, September 26, at 9:00 AM ET. For viewers in different regions of the United States, here are the local start times:

• Eastern Time: 9:00 AM
• Central Time: 8:00 AM
• Mountain Time: 7:00 AM
• Pacific Time: 6:00 AM

This is quite common when the World Cup window closes. Many teams and managers decide to open new horizons and change gears. After all, managing a national team goes in four-year processes in between World Cups. Hence, it’s a long commitment.

Some are not eager to compromise for another four years after a grueling World Cup qualifying process. Hence, it’s time to review which teams will be in search of a new manager by no choice of their own, but by their former managers.

First managers that have resigned after 2026 World Cup elimination

Steve Clarke stepped down as manager following Scotland’s exit. Despite signing a new four-year contract before the tournament, his seven-year reign ended after the team failed to advance to the knockout stage.

Hong Myung-bo announced his resignation following the South Korea’s elimination, stepping down amid heavy criticism of the team’s performance and failing to qualify to the Round of 32. Also, Miroslav Koubek resigned after a winless, last-place group stage exit by Czechia.

List of managers that quit after 2026 World Cup

• Steve Clarke – Scotland – 7 years in charge
• Hong Myung-Bo – South Korea – 2 years in charge
• Miroslav Koubek – Czechia – 7 months in charge
• Ronald Koeman – Netherlands – 3.5 years in charge
• Marcelo Bielsa – Uruguay – 3 years in charge
• Sebastian Beccacece – Ecuador – 2 years in charge
• Carlos Queiroz – Ghana – 3 months in charge
• Roberto Martinez – Portugal – 3.5 years in charge
• Javier Aguirre – Mexico – 2 years in charge
• Zlatko Dalic – Croatia – 9 years in charge

The disappointing campaign immediately raised questions about Clarke’s future. Scotland had shown flashes of quality throughout the tournament, defeating Haiti before suffering defeats against Morocco and Brazil. However, the heavy loss to Brazil (3-0) ultimately proved too costly, leaving the Scots with an unfavorable goal difference that ended their World Cup dream despite remaining mathematically alive until the final day of the group stage.

With the tournament over, the Scottish Football Association officially confirmed a major change. However, contrary to what many supporters initially believed, Steve Clarke was not dismissed. Instead, both parties agreed to end their seven-year partnership, bringing to a close a managerial spell that transformed Scotland from a team absent from major tournaments into a regular international contender.

Did Scotland fire Steve Clarke?

No. The Scottish Football Association confirmed that Clarke stepped down from his position after seven years in charge rather than being dismissed. The federation announced:

“Scotland Men’s Head Coach Steve Clarke has stepped down from his role. Our most successful National Team Head Coach has called time on his seven years in charge following our participation at the FIFA World Cup 2026.”

The statement makes it clear that the departure was not a firing but the end of Clarke’s tenure by mutual agreement. The coach believed it was the perfect time to close this chapter.

Why is Steve Clarke leaving Scotland?

Scotland entered the World Cup with high expectations after qualifying for the tournament for the first time since 1998. The campaign started positively with a victory over Haiti, but losing to Morocco and Brazil ultimately proved decisive as they couldn’t reach the knockout stages.

Although Scotland finished with three points, the team’s goal difference left it short of advancing as one of the eight best third-place teams. Following that disappointing elimination, both Clarke and the Scottish FA agreed it was the right moment to begin a new era.

Steve Clarke’s legacy with Scotland

Despite the difficult ending, Steve Clarke leaves behind one of the most successful periods in modern Scottish soccer. Appointed in 2019, he guided Scotland back to major tournaments by ending a 23-year drought with qualification for Euro 2020.

He later led the team to Euro 2024 and delivered Scotland’s first FIFA World Cup appearance since 1998 by qualifying for the 2026 tournament. Those accomplishments make Clarke one of the most influential coaches in the history of the Scotland national team, even if his tenure ended on a disappointing note at the World Cup.

However, everything changed in Miami, where Scotland suffered a crushing 3-0 defeat against Brazil. That result left Scotland in third place in Group C with three points and a goal difference of -3.

While Steve Clarke’s side has officially secured third place in the group, the heavy loss to Brazil severely damaged the chances of advancing as one of the tournament’s best third-place teams. The situation is now extremely difficult.

What do Scotland need to qualify in 2026 World Cup?

Scotland already know that two third-place teams will finish ahead of them regardless of what happens elsewhere. The third-place team in Group A, South Korea, and the third-place team in Group B, Bosnia and Herzegovina, are guaranteed to finish above Scotland in the third-place rankings. It’s important to remember that the eight best third-place teams advance to the Round of 32.

That means Scotland must now hope that enough other third-place teams finish below them. As a consequence, the Scots need at least four of the following group scenarios to happen:

In Group D, Australia must win over Paraguay by at least two goals. In Group E, Germany cannot lose against Ecuador, and Curacao have to tie or lose with Ivory Coast.

In Group F, Japan have to win against Sweden by four goals. In Group G, Egypt must beat Iran, and Belgium cannot lose against New Zealand. In Group H, Spain have to beat Uruguay at Guadalajara.

In Group I, Senegal cannot win against Iraq. In Group J, Austria have to win over Algeria by at least two goals. In Group K, DR Congo cannot win against Uzbekistan. In Group L, Ghana must get a victory over Luka Modric and Croatia by at least three goals.

Can Scotland still qualify in 2026 World Cup?

Yes, but the odds are not in their favor. Unlike some teams that still control their destiny on the final matchday, Scotland have already completed the group-stage schedule and can only wait for results elsewhere.

The combination of having only three points and a goal difference of -3 means the Scots need several favorable outcomes across multiple groups. Their hopes are still alive, but Scotland will be watching scoreboards and hoping enough results break their way to sneak into the Round of 32.

Brazil secured the victory with a dominant performance led by Vinícius Júnior, who capitalized on a costly mistake by Scott McKenna to open the scoring in the seventh minute. The Real Madrid star struck again in first-half stoppage time, heading home his second goal of the match before Matheus Cunha added a third in the 60th minute following a well-worked team move.

The win guarantees Brazil first place in Group C with seven points from two victories and one draw. Scotland, meanwhile, remain on three points and must now rely on results elsewhere as the race for the best third-placed spots.

Why are Scotland still alive in the tournament?

Despite the heavy defeat, Scotland’s World Cup hopes aren’t over. The expanded 48-team format allows the eight best third-placed teams to advance to the Round of 32, meaning the Scots remain in contention despite finishing behind Brazil and Morocco in Group C.

However, their chances are far from secure. With only three points and a negative goal difference, their qualification fate will not be decided until all group-stage matches have been completed.

What do Brazil’s victory mean for Group C

Brazil’s win confirmed the Seleção as Group C winners after an impressive recovery from their opening 1-1 draw against Morocco. Carlo Ancelotti‘s squad finished the group stage unbeaten and enter the knockout rounds with growing momentum.

Whether it took a commanding win in Magic City or a nerve-racking showdown in the “City in a Forest,” both Brazil and Morocco have punched their tickets to the round of 32 in the 2026 World Cup. However, the Verde Amarela had the last laugh, as they won Group C, while the Atlas Lions finished in second place.

As for Scotland, their fate is now off their hands. Scotland knew this could happen with a loss or tie against Brazil, and the blowout defeat did them no favors. Scotland finished third in Group C and will need some help to rank among the best third-place teams in the 2026 World Cup. Whether Scotland have been eliminated or not will remain uncertain until every group is decided.

Group C final matchday scores

Brazil made light work of Scotland, dismantling the Scots under the watchful eyes of the Tartan Army, and handing them a 3-0 loss that may well be all she wrote for Scotland. For the time being, Scotland aren’t out of the 2026 World Cup, but they might be in need of an early Christmas miracle. Meanwhile, Brazil are off to face Group F’s runner up next in the round of 32, as they are Group C’s winners.

In the state of Georgia, Haiti shocked the world for a few minutes, but eventually couldn’t keep up with the Atlas Lions. Morocco found the late winner and walked away with a 4-2 victory to punch their ticket to the round of 32.

While grateful for reaching another knockout stage in a World Cup, Morocco have much to improve, as one of the tournament’s weakest teams pinned them against the wall.

Brazil and Morocco await rival

Having confirmed Brazil will act as Group C’s winners and Morocco are the runners-up, all that remains to be decided is whom the Verde Amarela and Atlas Lions will face next. Brazil will go up against Group F’s runners-up, and Morocco will face that group’s winners.

However, it could be any team. Netherlands, Japan, and Sweden can all still finish atop their group, so only time will tell who finishes first and faces Morocco, and who ends up second and takes on Brazil.

2026 World Cup Group C final standings

While neither Scotland nor Brazil had put on a masterclass up to that point, the breakthrough goal completely shifted the momentum for La Selecao. With the breakthrough, the South American giants climb to the top of the Group C standings, leapfrogging Morocco as they play out their concurrent matchup against Haiti.

The strike marks Vinicius Jr.’s third goal of the 2026 World Cup, a stellar sign for a Brazilian squad that is now on the precipice of locking down a spot in the knockout stage.

Anticipation is building to see how the rest of the match unfolds, particularly with Neymar starting on the bench but remaining available as a substitute. If head coach Carlo Ancelotti calls his number, the veteran superstar has the undeniable quality to act as the ultimate closer and seal the victory.

Vini has been the most decisive player for Brazil

With this third goal in the 2026 World Cup, Vinicius keeps establishing himself as the most important player in the tournament. He has created plenty of great chances for Brazil, and with it, the team has been undefeated.

As the Brazilian supporters are waiting to watch Neymar on the field after four years without seen him, Vinicius Jr. has taken seriously the leadership of a team that want to be a World Champion after 24 years.

Brazil are just waiting for the final result of this game, in order to meet their rivals in the Round of 32, depending on the standings, as they are not depending on themselves at this point to lead the group.

The Brazilian squad want a convincing win to secure first place of the group, while the Scots need just a point to to finally have a chance to advance to the knockout stages.

With qualification and group positioning on the line, FIFA has appointed an experienced officiating crew led by one of the most recognizable referees from North America.

Who is the referee for Brazil vs Scotland?

The referee for Brazil vs Scotland is Cesar Ramos of Mexico. Ramos is one of CONCACAF’s most experienced officials and has previously officiated matches at both the FIFA World Cup and other major international competitions.

Given the importance of the match, FIFA’s decision to assign Ramos reflects the confidence the organization has in the Mexican referee’s ability to manage high-pressure encounters.

The rest of the officiating team for the match. Assistant Referee 1: Alberto Morin (Mexico) Assistant Referee 2: Marco Bisguerra (Mexico) Fourth Official: Espen Eskas (Norway) Reserve Assistant Referee: Jan Erik Engan (Norway). Video Assistant Referee (VAR): Guillermo Pacheco (Mexico).
