FIFA World Cup 2026 Prediction: Scotland vs Morocco (20-06-2026)

Morocco made an immediate statement in their opening FIFA World Cup match by holding Brazil to a 1-1 draw, reinforcing why many consider them one of the most dangerous non-traditional contenders in the tournament.

Scotland also began with a victory, beating Haiti 1-0, but this represents a significant step up in class.

Morocco arrive in excellent form.

Before drawing with Brazil, they recorded convincing victories over Madagascar, Burundi and Paraguay, scoring eleven goals across those three matches.

The FIFA rankings also highlight the gap between the teams.

Morocco sit 7th in the world, while Scotland are currently ranked 42nd.

Scotland deserve credit for recent wins against Haiti, Bolivia and Curacao, but they have also lost to both Ivory Coast and Japan this year.

Morocco represent a tougher challenge than any opponent Scotland have faced in recent months.

The last meeting between these nations came at the 1998 FIFA World Cup, when Morocco recorded a 3-0 victory.

While that result has little relevance today, it remains the only previous meeting between the sides.

Morocco have shown they can compete with elite nations, and their performance against Brazil only strengthened that belief.

Morocco have already shown they can compete with teams of Brazil’s calibre, and this looks like a more favourable matchup on paper.
