Scotland team to play Morocco: Formation change, dropped striker and central midfield conundrum

Our Scotland team to face Morocco in Boston on Friday night

Scotland’s second match of this World Cup takes place on Friday night in Group C against Morocco.

After kicking off the tournament with a 1-0 win over Haiti at the same venue, Steve Clarke’s men head into the clash with Moroccans in good spirits - and top of the pool.

On paper, Morocco will be a far tougher assignment for Scotland. They are African champions and are ranked seventh in the world. They were impressive in drawing 1-1 with Brazil and are expected to go far in the tournament.

With that in mind, we’ve picked a team that is a little more pragmatic. Scotland were in a 4-4-2 formation against Haiti but given Morocco are likely to dominate possession, Scotland need an extra midfield. While a 3-5-2 or 3-5-1-1 cannot be discounted, we are going with a 4-2-3-1 system.
