Attacking Stats Comparison
Scotland lead the finishing-side numbers through goals, shots on target, and conversion rate. Their 2.2 goals per match and 18% conversion rate show a team that turns a solid chance base into output. John McGinn and Scott McTominay give Scotland late box runs that can break compact defenses.
Morocco have the slightly stronger xG and total shot profile. They average 1.54 xG and 13.67 shots per match, but their 10% conversion rate trails Scotland’s. Morocco need Achraf Hakimi’s width and Youssef En-Nesyri’s penalty-box movement to lift shot quality.

Defensive Stats Comparison
Morocco have the clearer defensive edge. They concede 0.5 goals per match, allow 0.90 xG against, and keep clean sheets in 50% of the public sample. That profile gives Morocco a strong platform if Scotland try to turn the game into a set-piece battle.
Scotland concede 1.0 goal per match and allow 1.49 xG against. Their clean-sheet rate sits at 30%, so they need disciplined spacing against Morocco’s wide runners. Scotland can still compete if Robertson controls the left side and the midfield protects second balls.
| Stat | Scotland | Morocco |
|---|---|---|
| Clean Sheets | 30% | 50% |
| Goals Conceded Avg | 1.0 | 0.5 |
| xG Against | 1.49 | 0.90 |

Passing and Possession Analysis
Morocco should control more of the ball if the public possession numbers hold. They average 55% possession, while Scotland average 49%. That gap matters because Morocco can slow Scotland’s transition rhythm by keeping the ball away from wide pressing traps.
Full passing data is not available from the official match feed yet. Pass totals, pass accuracy, key passes, long balls, and crossing accuracy stay yet to be confirmed. The strongest current read comes from possession, xG, shots, conversion, and defensive numbers.

Key Player Statistics
Player event data will update once FIFA opens the official match feed. Scotland’s card lists John McGinn, Scott McTominay, and Andy Robertson because they shape box runs, midfield power, and left-side supply. Morocco’s card lists Achraf Hakimi, Sofyan Amrabat, and Youssef En-Nesyri because they shape width, control, and finishing.
Scotland – John McGinn
John McGinn gives Scotland a direct route from midfield into scoring areas. His timing around the box can help Scotland turn shots on target into pressure. Scotland need his movement because Morocco’s defensive numbers are stronger than Haiti’s opening-game profile.
Morocco – Achraf Hakimi
Achraf Hakimi gives Morocco width, recovery speed, and crossing threat from the right. He can stretch Scotland’s defensive block and create overloads around Robertson’s side. Morocco need that width because Scotland can crowd central lanes with McTominay and McGinn.
Expected Goals Analysis
The xG comparison slightly favors Morocco by 1.54 to 1.47. The bigger separation comes without the ball, where Morocco allow 0.90 xG against and Scotland allow 1.49. That defensive gap gives Morocco the more stable data profile before kickoff.
Scotland’s route depends on making their shot-on-target edge count. They average 5.6 shots on target compared with Morocco’s 4.44, despite Morocco taking more total shots. If Scotland keep that accuracy, the game can stay close even if Morocco control possession.
