Morocco predicted lineup and team news vs Scotland

Morocco and Scotland meet in a Round 2 Group C clash at the FIFA World Cup on Friday at Boston Stadium, with both sides coming off encouraging results in their opening matches.

Morocco come into this match with an outstanding unbeaten streak of 29 games across all competitions and friendlies. After lifting the Africa Cup of Nations trophy in January, they followed up with dominant friendly wins over Burundi and Madagascar.

Their quality was further highlighted last week when they staged a strong comeback to secure a 1-1 draw against Brazil, one of the world’s top teams. The squad appears to be in excellent physical condition and tactical shape.

Morocco team news

Morocco have no new injury concerns following their match against Brazil and will head into this game with a fully fit squad and strong belief.

Manager Mohamed Ouahbi is expected to continue with his preferred 4-3-3 formation. This approach emphasizes possession-based play while making full use of pace on the wings. Key players such as PSG full-back Achraf Hakimi and experienced goalkeeper Yassine Bounou are certain starters.

In midfield, 18-year-old Ayyoub Bouaddi impressed greatly against Brazil and is expected to play a key role again in controlling the tempo.

Morocco’s attack looks particularly threatening, with Real Madrid’s Brahim Díaz and Bilal El Khannouss operating on the flanks, supporting central forward Ismael Saibari.

Azzedine Ounahi, who featured in an advanced midfield role against Brazil, is likely to continue in the same position.
