Main Match Prediction
We think that Morocco will win this Group C game and we’re drawn to the odds of -149 which look like value. Our pick is appealing and we’re confident this selection will be on the money.
Morocco produced an impressive display against Brazil in their opening fixture and showed they have the quality to challenge any team in the tournament. Scotland, meanwhile, were far from convincing in their narrow win over Haiti and face a significant step up in opposition here.
The underlying numbers also favour Morocco, with the xG data and overall match statistics pointing towards the North Africans. With the stronger squad and better opening performance behind them, we're backing Morocco to claim all three points.
