Group C action at the 2026 World Cup will continue with Morocco facing Scotland at Gillette Stadium. The Atlas Lions won plaudits for their performance in the draw against record winners Brazil, while Scotland sit at the top of the group after their scrappy win over Haiti.
Ismael Saibari, who is very close to completing his move to FC Bayern from PSV, starts once again after scoring Morocco’s goal against Brazil. Stuttgart’s winger Bilal El Khannouss is also in Morocco's unchanged lineup as Eintracht Frankfurt’s Ayoube Amaimouni hopes for another chance from the bench after his competitive debut last week.
