Scotland will aim to build on their winning start to the 2026 FIFA World Cup when they take on Morocco in their second Group stage fixture in Massachusetts.
The Scots boosted their qualification hopes with victory over Haiti and now find themselves within touching distance of a place in the knockout rounds. Another positive result against Morocco could be enough to secure progression, especially with the tournament format allowing the eight best third-placed teams to advance.
Despite their encouraging start, Steve Clarke’s side know there is still work to be done and will be determined to avoid complacency against one of Africa’s strongest teams.
Morocco head into the contest full of confidence after earning a hard-fought draw against Brazil in their opening match. The Atlas Lions, who reached the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup, showcased their quality and resilience and will now be targeting all three points against opponents ranked significantly below them in the FIFA standings.
