Scotland vs Morocco: prediction & betting odds 19 June 2026

Form and Line-up Scotland National Team

The start of the World Cup passed without any attacking fireworks for Scotland. Clarke's players were frankly fortunate with McGinn's goal midway through the first half, after which Haiti never found an equaliser (1:0). Robertson and company openly ran down the clock late on — the final 15 minutes of that match were controlled by the underdogs, although they did not bring them any clear dividends. Three points are in the bag for the team — the aim of reaching the play-offs is getting closer.

Key Numbers for Scotland National Team:

• Clarke's team have conceded only one goal in three matches during the current call-up.

• Against Haiti, Scotland allowed only one clear goalscoring chance and two shots on target.

• The Scots have not lost by a margin of 2+ goals in 12 consecutive matches — that run began in early June 2025.

Probable Scotland National Team line-up (4-4-2)

Angus Gunn — Andrew Robertson, Jack Hendry, Grant Hanley, Aaron Hickey — John McGinn, Lewis Ferguson, Scott McTominay, Ben Doak — Che Adams, Lawrence Shankland.

Form and Line-up Morocco National Team

The massive attacks from Morocco at the start of their opening group-stage match against Brazil almost caught the opposition by surprise. Ouahbi's team got what they wanted from Saibari's goalscoring counter-attack — one pass from Diaz cut through the entire South American defence. On the other hand, the red defence, led by Bounou, did not hold Brazil after the mini-break midway through the half — they also scored after a counter-attack. The substitutions from Ouahbi's staff did not work, but the visitors can still be satisfied with a draw against the five-time world champions.

Key Numbers for Morocco National Team:

• Ouahbi's team have not lost an official match since January 2024.

• Morocco managed only three shots on target against Brazil in the first round. They created just 0.16 xG after the break.

• Morocco have not conceded 2+ goals for 2.5 years.

Probable Morocco National Team line-up (4-2-3-1)

Yassine Bounou — Noussair Mazraoui, Chadi Riad, Issa Diop, Achraf Hakimi — Ayyoub Bouaddi, Neil El Aynaoui — Bilal El Khannouss, Azzedine Ounahi, Brahim Diaz — Ismael Saibari.
