Scotland vs Morocco — match preview
Scotland meet Morocco in Group C of the 2026 World Cup. Passionate, well-drilled Scots ending a long wait, dangerous on set pieces.
Morocco arrive with their own plan. The 2022 semi-finalists kept their spine intact and remain Africa’s strongest hope. The match-up between Scott McTominay and Achraf Hakimi is the headline individual battle.
On paper Morocco have the stronger squad, but World Cup group games are rarely straightforward — the underdog only needs one moment, and the favourite carries the pressure of expectation.
