The Scots' place at the top of the group is under threat against the North African team, who were the better side in their 1-1 draw with Brazil in their opener.

A point from their final two games should be enough to secure Scotland's first knock-out berth in tournament history but a draw will not come easily against the World Cup 2022 semi-finalists.

With the Tartan Army at their backs, you can't write off Steve Clarke's side but they will need to produce one of their greatest performances in Boston.

Scotland v Morocco predictions

Scotland got the job done against Haiti in their opener but will need to be much better if they are to get a result against Morocco on Friday evening.

The AFCON champions are packed with talent and a well-oiled machine – a dangerous combo and one that may see them brush Steve Clarke's team aside.

Expect Morocco to control the game for long periods and Scotland to make the most of one of their few chances but ultimately fall short.

Radio Times says... Scotland 1-3 Morocco
