Steve Clarke, Scotland's coach, is of the opinion that Morocco, a team that made it to the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup, has become even more formidable. He expects Morocco to dominate possession in Friday's Group C match, which comes after Scotland beat Haiti 1-0. Clarke hinted Scotland might use a back three formation, moving away from the 4-4-2 used against Haiti.
