Does Bruno Guimarães play today? Where to watch Scotland vs Brazil at the 2026 FIFA World Cup
Bruno Guimarães is consolidating himself as a key player in the Brazilian team’s midfield for the duel against Scotland. The midfielder, with his refined technique, vision of the game and intensity, should set the pace this Wednesday (24), at the Hard Rock Stadium, in Miami, for the last round of Group C of the 2026 World Cup.
With four points won, a draw with Morocco and a 3-0 victory over Haiti, Brazil seeks to confirm first place in the group. Bruno Guimarães, alongside Casemiro and Lucas Paquetá, forms a trio that balances defense and attack, allowing Vinicius Jr, Matheus Cunha and Rayan to explore the offensive field with more freedom.
Ancelotti has praised the player’s performance, which combines physical strength with passing quality.

The objective is to dominate possession, recover balls quickly and feed the attack with precise transitions.
