Eimer Backs Under 2.5 Goals in Brazil-Morocco as Brazil Enter at -150 Without Neymar

3 articles · Updated · CBS Sports · Jun 13

Summary

  • Under 2.5 goals at -140 is Jon Eimer’s lead pick for Saturday’s Brazil-Morocco Group C match at the 2026 World Cup in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
  • Brazil have scored two or fewer goals in four of their last six matches, while Morocco have done so in three of their last five, supporting a lower-scoring outlook.
  • World Cup trends also point that way: the under hit in five of Morocco’s seven matches in 2022 and in four of Brazil’s five games in Qatar.
  • Brazil are still favored at -150 on the 90-minute money line, with Morocco at +470 and the draw at +270, even after Neymar was ruled out with a calf injury.
  • The matchup pits Group C favorite Brazil against a Morocco side that finished fourth in 2022 and is viewed as a credible challenger to top the group.
