Match preview

Scotland and Morocco meet in Group C of the 2026 World Cup, with both teams aiming to advance from a group that also includes Brazil and South Korea. Scotland, under Steve Clarke, have improved significantly in recent years, qualifying for consecutive European Championships and now a World Cup. They rely on a solid defensive structure, with Andy Robertson and Kieran Tierney providing width from full-back, and the creative spark of John McGinn and Scott McTominay in midfield. Up front, Che Adams leads the line, but goals have sometimes been hard to come by against top opposition.

Morocco, the 2022 World Cup semi-finalists, are a force to be reckoned with. Under Walid Regragui, they have built on their historic run with a disciplined, counter-attacking style. Achraf Hakimi is a threat from right-back, while the midfield trio of Sofyan Amrabat, Azzedine Ounahi, and Hakim Ziyech provides both steel and creativity. Up front, Youssef En-Nesyri is a constant aerial threat.

Key battles will be in midfield, where Scotland's energy meets Morocco's technical quality. Scotland need to be compact and avoid giving away set-pieces, where Morocco are dangerous. Morocco will look to exploit space behind Scotland's full-backs. A draw would keep both in contention, but a win is crucial to keep pace with Brazil. Expect a tight, tactical contest.

Key players to watch

Scotland

Andy Robertson (Liverpool) — The captain and left-back provides relentless energy, overlapping runs, and pinpoint crosses. Key to Scotland's attacking width and defensive solidity.
John McGinn (Aston Villa) — The midfield engine room, known for his late runs into the box, physicality, and ability to score crucial goals. A leader in midfield.
Scott McTominay (Manchester United) — A box-to-box midfielder who has chipped in with important goals for Scotland. His height and power make him a threat from set-pieces.

Morocco

Achraf Hakimi (Paris Saint-Germain) — One of the best attacking full-backs in the world. His pace, dribbling, and crossing are key to Morocco's counter-attacks. Also a set-piece threat.
Hakim Ziyech (Chelsea) — The playmaker with a wand of a left foot. His vision, passing range, and ability to score from distance make him Morocco's creative hub.
Youssef En-Nesyri (Sevilla) — The target man, strong in the air and clinical in the box. His hold-up play and aerial duels will be vital against Scotland's centre-backs.
