Scotland face Morocco in Group C on Friday evening and will be aiming to build on their 1-0 opening game victory over Haiti.
The Scots will be underdogs for the match in Massachusetts but can take confidence from putting three points on the board thanks to John McGinn's winner against the Grenadiers.
Morocco are looking to earn their first victory of World Cup after holding Brazil to a 1-1 draw.
Beating Scotland would put the Atlas Lions in the driving seat and into the top two heading into their final Group C game.
Scotland vs. Morocco betting picks and predictions
Morocco to win (-138)
Morocco are considered one of the dark horses at the World Cup and boast quality in key areas of the pitch.
Captain Achraf Hakimi has helped Paris Saint-Germain win successive UEFA Champions League titles, while Brahim Diaz made 30 La Liga appearances for Real Madrid during the 2025/26 campaign.
The Atlas Lions became Africa's first World Cup semi-finalists four years ago in Qatar and will feel they have a squad capable of going the distance again.
Scoring five and four goals respectively in friendly wins over Burundi and Madagascar, Morocco were held by Norway in early June before the draw with Brazil, but should possess enough class to get the better of Scotland.
Steve Clarke's men have won their last three matches, against Curacao, Bolivia and Haiti, though these sides are inferior to Morocco, who will pose an altogether different test.
Both teams to score - No (-150)
Scotland have recorded nine goals in their last three matches, but failed to find the net when facing Japan and Ivory Coast in March.
Struggling to score against top opposition suggests the Scots will also find it difficult getting the better of the Moroccan backline.
The Atlas Lions have kept seven clean sheets in their last 11 games, so backing Both teams to score - No looks like a smart play.
McGinn's goal against Haiti was massive for a nation appearing at their first World Cup since 1998 , but the fact that Scotland recorded only eight shots in the game points to a side lacking creativity.
The pace in the Morocco team means they should be able to cope with any counter-attacks.
Brahim Diaz 2+ shots on target (+250)
Brahim Diaz recorded three shots against Brazil and managed to get one of those efforts on target.
Having conjured up opportunities up against Gabriel and Marquinhos, the Los Blancos winger will be confident of successfully taking aim when he faces Scotland.
The 26-year-old will look to be direct and cut inside to test goalkeeper Angus Gunn from in and around the edge of the area.
Backing Diaz to record 2+ shots on target could be a wise bet considering the Scots allowed Haiti to have 13 efforts on goal.
