Haiti 0–1 Scotland
Scotland edges Haiti as prediction hits bullseye
Scotland's 1-0 victory over Haiti delivered exactly what we forecasted: a comfortable win with John McGinn's 28th-minute strike proving decisive. Our model nailed both the scoreline and the 66% confidence level, capitalizing on Scotland's +165 Elo advantage and superior expected-goals profile (2.0 vs 0.7).
Haiti underperformed their expected-points tally, earning zero actual points against a 0.6-point projection across their two matches. Scotland delivered precisely to expectation, banking their full three points without overachieving—a controlled, professional performance befitting the stronger side.
