Argentina vs France Prediction & Betting tips
The final of the World Cup in Qatar 2022 will be played on Sunday at 15:00, between Argentina and France. The history of direct confrontations between the two national teams is not very long, until now they have met five times, three times at the World Cup and twice in friendly matches, the statistics being on the side of Argentina with four victories, while France has won in the last direct confrontation in 2018 when he also won the final tournament. The match in the grand final will also be a duel between the goal scorers of the two national teams, who are also colleagues at PSG, Leo Messi and Kylian Mbappe, both having scored five goals each.
Argentina:
After the 2-1 defeat against Saudi Arabia, no one expected Argentina to reach the finals of the World Championship, even though they are among the favorites. After this defeat, although they played well, Argentina has completely transformed, showing that it is a team that wants and can win the World Cup for the 3rd time in history. Argentina’s first world titles were won in 1978 and 1986. Argentina’s best match in Qatar was in the semi-final against Croatia when they won 3-0, but the most spectacular match by far was the match against the Netherlands in the quarterfinals decided on kicks from 11m. Leo Messi is Argentina’s top scorer with five goals scored, he also missed a shot from 11m.
France:
On the other hand, France played at its own pace, achieving two victories in the groups, 4-1 against Australia and 2-1 against Denmark, being defeated in the third match when it was already qualified, by Tunisia 1-0. In the round of 16, France had a modest opponent, Poland, which it managed to beat 3-1. The real test for France was in the quarter-finals, where they faced England and won 2-1. While the semi-final was also within reach of France, managing a 2-0 victory against Morocco. France has the opportunity to win the World Cup for the 3rd time in history after the one in 1998 and 2018, and for the second time in a row, something that only Brazil has managed in history, in 1958 and 1962.
