Scotland (1-0-0) vs. Morocco (0-1-0) — Group C Match Preview

Scotland arrive at Boston Stadium with three points in hand after a 1-0 win over Haiti to open Group C, while Morocco sit on a single point following a draw in their first match. The contrast in pedigree is stark, with Morocco coming off a run to the 2022 semifinals as the first African or Arab nation to reach the last four, and Scotland returning to the World Cup for the first time since 1998 after a 28-year absence. Scott McTominay carries the Scottish midfield after a season that brought 4 goals across 16 shots in the Champions League with Napoli, the kind of late-arriving threat that powered the stoppage-time win over Denmark that sent his country here.

On the other side, Achraf Hakimi gives Morocco one of the tournament’s most dangerous attacking full-backs, having registered 1 goal and 6 assists in 13 Champions League starts during a 2025-26 season that ended with both Ligue 1 and the Champions League titles at Paris Saint-Germain. Brahim Diaz adds a creative thread through the middle for Morocco, matching Hakimi with 1 goal and 6 assists across 13 LALIGA starts for Real Madrid. The sides have not met since the 1998 World Cup, when Morocco won 3-0 in the group stage. With Scotland still chasing the knockout round their nation has never reached in eight previous appearances, three more points here would put real distance between them and the rest of Group C.

Players to Watch: Scotland vs. Morocco

Scotland

Scott McTominay — Midfielder. McTominay was the 2024-25 Serie A MVP and brought that form into Europe with 4 goals on 16 shots across 8 Champions League starts for Napoli this season. His knack for arriving in the box late made him Scotland’s decisive figure in qualifying, where his bicycle kick capped a stoppage-time win over Denmark.

John McGinn — Midfielder. McGinn does the connecting work for Scotland and backs it with end product, posting 5 goals and 4 assists over 28 Premier League starts for Aston Villa this season. He also led that group with 28 shots, a sign of how often he pushes forward to support the attack.

Andy Robertson — Left-back and captain. Robertson wears the armband and still gets forward relentlessly from the left, chipping in 1 goal across 11 Premier League starts for Liverpool this season. His overlapping runs give Scotland a reliable outlet down the flank against Morocco’s right side.

Morocco

Achraf Hakimi — Right-back. Hakimi finished 2025-26 with both the Ligue 1 and Champions League titles at Paris Saint-Germain, and his attacking numbers tell the story with 1 goal and 6 assists in 13 Champions League starts. He is as much a wide creator as a defender, taking 19 shots from that right-back role over the campaign.

Brahim Diaz — Attacking midfielder. The Real Madrid playmaker is Morocco’s creative spark, matching Hakimi with 1 goal and 6 assists across 13 LA LIGA starts this season. His 15 shots reflect a willingness to gamble between the lines and finish chances himself.

Youssef En-Nesyri — Striker. En-Nesyri leads the Moroccan attack as the focal point up top, the same role he held during the 2022 run to the semifinals. His aerial presence and movement off the shoulder of the last defender give Walid Regragui’s side a genuine target inside the box.
