Match Preview
Morocco arrives at this World Cup ranked eighth in the world, carrying unfinished business after their historic 2022 semi-final run, while Scotland return to the tournament stage for the first time since 1998 — desperate to prove they belong.
Both sides were in the same group 28 years ago, with Morocco running out 3–0 winners in that edition, giving this rematch an extra layer of history.
Steve Clarke’s Scotland are expected to set up in a compact defensive shape, looking to frustrate Morocco on the counter, with Scott McTominay and John McGinn providing the creative spark through midfield.
Morocco, under new coach Mohamed Ouahbi, are likely to use Achraf Hakimi’s attacking runs down the flank and Brahim Díaz’s invention in the final third to unlock a disciplined Tartan Army backline.
Teenager Tyler Fletcher was drafted in to replace Billy Gilmour following a pre-tournament injury, meaning Scotland may be without one of their more creative midfield outlets.
Key players on both sides are subject to fitness assessments in the days before kick-off, so expect both managers to monitor any knocks from the opening matchday closely.

Key Players to Watch
- Scott McTominay: Scotland’s heartbeat in midfield — his energy, goals, and leadership at Napoli make him the most dangerous player in the Tartan Army squad.
- Andy Robertson: The captain arrives with 92 caps, the most experienced member of the squad, and his overlapping runs down the left could be crucial in creating space against Morocco’s organised defence.
- John McGinn: McGinn has scored 20 goals in his 85 appearances for the national team and consistently delivers in big moments — expect him to be central to Scotland’s attacking threat.

Key Players to Watch
- Achraf Hakimi: The PSG defender has fully established himself as a global superstar thanks to his speed, personality and ability to deliver in the biggest matches — he is Morocco’s captain and talisman.
- Brahim Díaz: The Real Madrid playmaker is quick, clever, and capable of producing something out of nothing — giving Morocco a touch of genuine magic between the lines.
- Sofyan Amrabat: The Real Betis enforcer anchors Morocco’s midfield with his tenacity and reading of the game, protecting the defence and launching attacks — a player Scotland’s forwards must neutralise.

Scotland vs Morocco Prediction
Morocco hold the clear edge on paper — ranked eighth in the world, packed with Champions League and Premier League talent, and carrying genuine semi-final pedigree from 2022.
Achraf Hakimi, Brahim Díaz, and the experience of their squad give them the tools to dismantle a Scotland side that, by contrast, has been away from the World Cup for 28 years.
That said, Scotland will be fired up by the Tartan Army and the weight of a nation’s hope — and football has a habit of humbling favourites.
- We predict Morocco 2–0 Scotland, but Steve Clarke’s side will make it an uncomfortable night before quality ultimately tells.
