Argentina vs. France Tip

Details:

Argentina is going into the final game after their most dominant performance at the World Cup. They defeated Croatia by 3-0 and are going into the finals with their confidence sky-high.

The quarterfinal game started similarly but the Netherlands took that one into overtime and the penalty shootout. The Argentinian goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez was brilliant and sent his team to the next round.

Australia was not big of an issue in the round of 16 for Argentina who won 2-1.

The group stage was a totally different story as Argentina lost the opener to Saudi Arabia by 2-1 and then needed two wins in the remaining two games which they eventually did against Mexico and Poland.

France had almost a perfect road to the World Cup final. They started with two wins in the group stage over Australia and Denmark before losing to Tunisia in the third round of the group stage.

France had no issues in the elimination phase winning all three games in regulation time. First, they defeated Poland by 3-1 which was pretty easy one. England was the next in line and France won that one by 2-1 despite England having two penalties in that game. In the semifinals, France had a routine job against Morocco opening the score in the fifth minute and finishing the job with the second goal 11 minutes from the final whistle.

Key facts

• Papu Gomez is questionable for Argentina
• Lucas Hernandez will not play for France while Kingsley Coman is questionable
• These two teams have played five times before and three of those games have come at the World Cup. France has won only the last one, a 4-3 win in the 1/8 finals of the previous World Cup in Russia. Argentina won the other 4 games with two of them being at the World Cups in 1930 and 1978

After 29 days and 62 games, everything is set for the 2022 FIFA World Cup final. The defending champions France will have a chance to become only the third team in history to win back-to-back titles. They were counted out by many even before the tournament started knowing that only Brazil and Italy have defended the title and even more after 5 players had to be left over from the Didier Deschamps’ roster with injuries. However, France showed dominant performances throughout the tournament and with no drama at all found their way into the final match.

Argentina on the other hand, was stunned in the opener against Saudi Arabia which goes in history as one of the biggest upsets at the World Cup. Many signed them off at that point, but Leo Messi and his teammates didn’t back down. They won the remaining two games in the group stage and then went on to eliminate Australia and Argentina. In the semifinals, they showcased their full strength against Croatia to get a chance to win their first World Cup title since the Diego Maradona days. Leo Messi is the player who is expected to shine on Sunday. He has lost one World Cup final and stronger for that experience will know what needs to be done to win this time. The real question is, can Argentina really do it?

France seems like a more versatile and stable team that does not depend a lot on a single player which is the case with Argentina. France has a top-level player in Kylian Mbappe who can also decide any game with a single move. This will definitely be a tough game, but France will have that extra quality to win at the end.
