Predictions Argentina vs France – World Cup Final

Argentina vs France | World Cup (18.12.2022, 16:00)

We have finally arrived at the final act of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Playing in this exciting final will be Argentina and France, who will compete for the title at the Iconic Stadium in Lusail. Lionel Messi vs. Kylian Mbappé, the South American champions vs. the world champions, in a match that everyone believes is evenly matched. Albiceleste showed all their strength in the semi-final by beating Croatia 3-0 and sending out a clear signal: this team wants to triumph at any cost. The debut knockout was just a hiccup because Scaloni’s team has only lost on that occasion in the last two years. After the final loss in 2014 against Germany, another European selection will be the obstacle to overcome for the Albiceleste’s third world triumph.

For its part, France is called to defend the title conquered four years ago in Russia and will do so with many of the protagonists of that ride, above all Mbappé and Giroud. In the semifinal against Morocco, Les Bleus showed great maturity, directing the match immediately after a few minutes and finally managing to keep a clean sheet in this tournament. Deschamps’ team wants to make history and become the third team to win back-to-back World Cups, after Italy and Brazil. The last precedent between the two teams was the eighth final of the last World Cup, which France won 4-3, but Argentina had always won in the four previous direct clashes.

  • The no-goal mark has occurred in 6 of the last 8 World Cup finals.
  • Both teams in the semifinals did not concede a goal.
  • The finals are tense and blocked competitions, and for this reason we don’t expect a great show.
