Scotland meet Morocco with the live market leaning Morocco's way (49.5% to win, 28.5% draw). Tartan Army at their first World Cup since 1998. Morocco, meanwhile, semi-finalists in 2022, and dreaming bigger.

Scotland's edge comes from energetic midfield, but Morocco will look to exploit goals from open play. Expect a contest decided in the details, set pieces, transitions and the bench.
