Scotland Vs Morocco Preview
Although the Scotland vs Morocco odds favour a victory for the AFCON champions, the Tartan Army will be quietly confident of achieving a minor upset in Boston on Friday night. It wasn’t the prettiest of wins against Haiti on MD1 but the three points is all that mattered as far as Steve Clarke’s side were concerned.
And with that, the feel good factor is certainly evident in the Scot’s camp. However, it will be no easy feat to conquer the Moroccans after their own fine showing against Brazil. Mohamed Ouahbi’s side essentially carried off where they left off four years ag by defying the World Cup odds to claim a credible draw against the five-time champions.
Scotland Vs Morocco H2H Record
The only time Scotland and Morocco have squared off was in the group stages of the 1998 World Cup. The Atlas Lions cruised to a 3-0 win thanks to goals from Salahedine Bassir (2) and Abdeljelil Hadda. However, both sides were unable to qualify to the knockout stages.
Scotland Vs Morocco Team News
Steve Clarke is set to name an unchanged team from the XI who grinded a 1-0 win over Haiti last time out. Scott McKenna is still an injury concern and is likely to retain his place on the bench. The same applies for Ryan Christie.
Meanwhile, Morocco are also likely to stick with their starting lineup who held Brazil to a 1-1 draw. Bayern Munich-bound Ismael Saibari scored the opener against the Selecao and will once again lead the line in the City of Champions.
