Scotland vs Morocco World Cup Tips, Prediction & Live Stream
An intriguing Group C clash awaits on Friday at Gillette Stadium as Scotland and Morocco do battle in a rematch of the 1998 group stage in France.
Fresh off their first win at the World Cup since 1990, Scotland actually have an unlikely chance of securing top spot in Group C if they can upset Morocco here and Haiti somehow steal a point off Brazil.
However, a much more realistic avenue for Scotland to progress in this new tournament format would be to hold Morocco to a draw here, which would take them to four points following their narrow 1-0 win over Haiti last week. Morocco meanwhile are unbeaten in their last 30 games in all competitions, with the AFCON champions impressing in a 1-1 draw with five-time winners Brazil.
After finishing fourth at the 2022 World Cup, Morocco have been one of the standout nations in world football over the last half-a-decade. But I think the Scots can take something from this match.
The Tartan Army are incredibly difficult to break down and the Tartan Army arguably have the best support of any nation at this World Cup. Steve Clark is pragmatic by nature and that style of play could potentially frustrate Morocco, who have drawn their last two games by a 1-1 score.
Scotland's best route to goal remains through the air with Scott McTominay and possible Lyndon Dykes coming into the starting side to give the Scots a physical edge. Meanwhile, Brahim Diaz looks good value to either score or assist after his brilliant form all year for the national team.
I'm taking Scotland to either win or draw in the Double Chance market, with a bit of value on a 1-1 share of the spoils.

Scotland vs Morocco Head To Head
This will be the second H2H meeting between the nations, with Morocco breaking Scottish hearts with a thumping 3-0 win in the 1998 World Cup group stage.
Scotland Form Analysis
It certainly wasn't pretty, but Scotland secured their first World Cup win in 36 years by edging out Haiti 1-0 in Boston last week.
John McGinn's first-half strike was his 21st under Steve Clarke as Scotland held off Haiti and put themselves in a strong position to qualify for the knockout phase of a major tournament for the first time.
The Tartan Army are now targeting back-to-back victories at a major tournament for the very first time and aiming to avenge their 1998 defeat to Morocco in France.
Scotland Team News
Ben Gannon-Doak was arguably Scotland's best player against Haiti and the 20-year-old winger should retain his spot in the starting side.
Lawrence Shankland struggled to make an impact and could be replaced in the starting side by Lyndon Dykes, who gives the side a physical presence from set pieces.

Morocco Form Analysis
Morocco made it 30 games unbeaten in all competitions, holding record World Cup champions Brazil to a 1-1 draw in their opening game.
The Atlas Lions took the lead through a strike from Ismael Saibari, but a sensational goal from Vini Jr levelled the scores and the match ultimately ended 1-1.
Brahim Diaz was also lively, registering three shots and assisting Saibari's goal. The Real Madrid winger has 15 goals for his country and was the standout man at AFCON - he will be looking to make a big impact in this one.
Morocco Team News
Captain Achraf Hakimi posted some insane numbers in the draw against Brazil: three chances created, six tackles, five fouls won, 11 duels won and three shots, making him the first defender at the World Cup since 1966 to achieve such numbers.
Saibari is tipped to join Bayern Munich ahead of the new season and should retain his starting spot after scoring against Brazil.
