Scotland and Morocco meet in what promises to be one of the most intriguing World Cup Round 2 fixtures, with both teams aiming to strengthen their chances of reaching the knockout stages. As both sides should be happy with one point from Friday's game, we predict a 1-1 draw. Scotland made a winning start to the tournament by edging Haiti 1-0, with John McGinn scoring the decisive goal. Steve Clarke's men were not at their fluent best, but they did enough to collect all three points and will be pleased to have no fresh injury concerns ahead of this clash. The Scots have been in excellent form recently, winning seven of their last ten matches in all competitions while averaging 2.2 goals scored per game. Their attacking trio, backed by McGinn and Scott McTominay, should once again pose a significant threat.
Morocco, meanwhile, enhanced their reputation with a deserved 1-1 draw against Brazil. The Atlas Lions produced a brilliant first-half display and showed why they are regarded as one of the strongest African sides at the tournament. However, boss Mohamed Ouahbi has been dealt a double blow, with both Abde Ezzalzouli and Nayef Aguerd ruled out through injury. Morocco have lost only one of their last ten matches and boast an impressive defensive record, conceding just 0.5 goals per game during that run while keeping clean sheets in half of those fixtures. With both nations sitting on valuable points already, a closely fought encounter is expected.
As Scotland and Morocco are evenly matched heading into Round 2, we are tempted to bet on Draw, alongside Half-Time Draw and Under 2.5 goals (Morocco concede very few chances, while Scotland won their opener in a low-scoring affair).
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Friday 19 June 2026 at 23:00.
