So delighted to read about how the Tartan Army has taken over the Boston area with their partying that I don't care about this price. There are obviously ways you can knock this down (1.25), but I do want to get over +1 against a better Morocco team. But I'm positively rooting for Scotland to advance as long as possible, and it certainly will have the fan edge in Foxborough. If they come to Miami, I might have to don a kilt and head on over there. Looks so fun. A win and the Scots do advance. I rather doubt that but a draw or one-goal loss works. The Scots have scored nine goals in their last three games. Also like BTTS.
Morocco nearly upset Brazil in the opener and will need to secure three points against Scotland if they want to top Group C. Scotland beat Haiti 1-0 in the opener but were outshot 13-8. Morocco's squad is filled with experienced players, and I expect the African side to claim victory on Friday.
This feels like a bigger mismatch than the odds suggest. Scotland had their fun with a win over Haiti, but now they play a team that is both physical and organized. Against Haiti, Scotland were lucky to keep a clean sheet. Haiti was dangerous but lacked the finishing quality in the box. That won’t be the case for Morocco who can tee up new Bayern man Ismael Saibri. He will feast on those chances that Frantzdy Pierrot wasted.
Morocco were a little unfortunate to only draw 1-1 with a star-studded Brazil team on Matchday 1. The Atlas Lions were vastly superior in the opening stages of that game, and they led 1-0, only for Vinícius Júnior to equalize with a piece of individual brilliance. The game then fizzled out in the second half, but Morocco earned a creditable point. Scotland secured a tense 1-0 win against Haiti in their opener, but Morocco represent a massive step up in quality, and the African champions should win this game.
