Argentina vs France Preview & Prediction

Argentina will be looking for the fairytale ending to end Lionel Messi’s international career to ensure he was won every trophy under the sun. It will be the first time they have reached the World Cup Final since 2014, with the previous win going all the way back to 1986.

The Argentinians journey to reach this stage of the competition started on a sour note, following a shocking loss to Saudi Arabia, which indeed kicked them into gear for the remainder of the tournament. Perhaps their best performance came in their last outing against Croatia, which finished in a 3-0 rout. A large contributing factor to their success has been their fans, who have been the most persistent and loudest of any nation, leaving it to be truly something to behold.

Meanwhile, despite a lot of injuries heading into the tournament, the French still have the quality in depth to reach a second successive World Cup Final. In fact, Ballon D’or winner Karim Benzema could be declared fit and used if Didier Deschamps decides he is required.

In their successful 2018 World Cup campaign, France knocked out Argentina in the Round of 16 in an entertaining contest that finished 4-3. Meanwhile, Argentina won the two World Cup meetings prior to that. One of which, was 1978, when Argentina went on to win the tournament.

There will be stars throughout every area of the pitch, but two players in opposite directions of their career stand out the most. Messi for Argentina has been pivotal in their campaign and has contributed with a goal or an assist in eight of his nations 12 goals. Whilst fellow PSG teammate Kylian Mbappe has contributed to seven of France’s 13 goals in the tournament.

VERDICT:

Although France are defending their world champions status and have been in this position before. I believe the writing in the stars all link to Argentina winning the trophy in Messi’s final international game. However, if France are to prevail on the night, than they will be the first country to win back-to-back World Cups since Brazil in 1958 & 1962. (Best total goals under 2.5 odds @$1.57 with bet365.)
