Match preview: Morocco the favourites, Scotland full of belief

Morocco (around 7th in the FIFA rankings) are the favourites. The Atlas Lions held Brazil to a 1-1 draw on Matchday 1 through Vinícius Jr.'s goal, and they have conceded just one goal across their last five qualifiers (form DWWWDD). Mohamed Ouahbi's side is built around Achraf Hakimi, goalkeeper Yassine Bounou and the creativity of Brahim Díaz, Azzedine Ounahi and Bilal El Khannouss.

Yet Scotland (around 41st at FIFA) arrive top of the group. Steve Clarke's team beat Haiti 1-0 thanks to John McGinn (28'), their first World Cup win since 1990, and sit on 3 points. With Scott McTominay, captain Andy Robertson and Lewis Ferguson, a win here would all but secure a place in the round of 16. To place this group in context, see our guide to all 12 groups and the World Cup 2026 format.

There is only one prior meeting between these nations: the 1998 World Cup group stage, where Morocco won 3-0 in Saint-Étienne. This is just the second-ever encounter.

Score prediction and expected goals

The most likely outcome is a narrow Morocco win, 2-1. The Atlas Lions have more individual quality and squad depth, but Scotland's defence, marshalled by Jack Hendry and Grant Hanley, makes them a tough out. Bookmakers price Morocco as favourites at around 4/5 (1.80), with the draw and a Scotland win longer.

On goals, expect a tight contest: the market leans toward Under 2.5 goals, with a rough estimate of around 1.4 to 1.6 xG for Morocco against 0.8 to 1.0 for Scotland (an estimate, not a published model). A goal from Brahim Díaz or Achraf Hakimi off Morocco's attacking moves is the most credible scorer scenario, with McGinn the Scotland option.

• Prediction: Morocco to win.
• Most likely score: Morocco 2-1 Scotland (a 1-1 draw remains plausible).
• Expected goals: a low-scoring game, Under 2.5 goals favoured.

After this clash with Scotland, Morocco close out their group as follows:
