Scotland will face Morocco on Friday, June 19, at 23:00 BST in Boston. After opening with a victory over Haiti, Steve Clarke's side know that a point would almost certainly guarantee progression from Group C to the knockout stages for the first time at a major tournament. A win would secure qualification and avoid a nerve-shredding final group match against Brazil in Miami.
Selection is a key concern for Clarke. Scott McKenna, who missed the opening match through injury, is now back in contention. The team is debating formation options—whether to maintain a 4–4–2, switch to 4–5–1, or deploy a five-at-the-back formation. Midfielder Ryan Christie could return for his possession-retaining abilities, as Scotland struggled to hold the ball in the second half against Haiti.
