Morocco wound want to win this game easily with a predicted 2-0 score line over Scotland after their performance against Brazil.
Scotland's defence solidarity and squad depth is no less which was evident in the game against Haiti.
The match will be played at the Gillette Stadium (Boston Stadium) on June 20, 3:30 am (IST).
Scotland and Morocco meet in a pivotal Group C Matchday 2 clash, with both teams sensing a golden opportunity to move closer to the Round of 32. While Scotland enter the contest on the back of a hard-fought victory, Morocco arrive with confidence after earning a valuable point against one of the tournament favourites in Brazil.
The Tartan Army made the perfect start to their FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign by defeating Haiti 1-0. Veteran midfielder John McGinn proved to be the difference-maker, scoring the only goal of the match to hand Scotland a crucial three points.
Steve Clarke's side will now be eager to build on that momentum, knowing that another victory could put qualification firmly within reach.
Morocco, meanwhile, continued to demonstrate why they are regarded as one of the most dangerous teams outside the traditional elite. The Atlas Lions held Brazil to a 1-1 draw in their opener, with Ismael Saibari finding the net in a disciplined and impressive performance.
Having reached the semi-finals in 2022, Walid Regragui's men possess both experience and belief, and they will see this fixture as an opportunity to take control of Group C.
With Scotland on three points and Morocco on one, the stakes could hardly be higher. A Scottish victory would all but secure a place in the knockout stages, while Morocco know that three points would significantly strengthen their own qualification hopes before the final group game.
Expect a fiercely contested encounter between two ambitious sides with Round of 32 aspirations firmly in their sights.
