ARGENTINA
In an 8-year wait, Argentina has booked a place in the World Cup Final again since 2014. In doing so, Lionel Messi has created the opportunity to add to what would be a record-breaking as the all-time World Champion. Scolani and Argentina will hope to ride on Messi’s magic for the last time in this tournament in what could be his last WC appearance at age 35.
Despite a bumpy World Cup start against Saudi Arabia, which ended in a 2-1 loss, the Albiceleste recovered well with flawless performances, winning the rest of their WC matches through to the grand finale. The Albiceleste are well-built to control the ball against top attacking schemes and handle the pace on the break which has worked out well so far. And after witnessing the prolonged periods of pressure Les Blues endured in the Semifinal match against Morocco, Messi and Argentina will be licking their lips.
After a difficult, month-long voyage in Qatar, Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni has an official fit roster, which is unusual at this level of the campaign. The only two players whose fitness has been called into doubt are Paulo Dybala and Angel Di Maria. But it hasn’t mattered since Julian Alvarez has excelled in supporting Lionel Messi.
FRANCE
Following their great win against England in the quarterfinals, Les Blues ended one of the most spectacular World Cup runs by defeating Morocco, who had been the first African and Arab team to ever reach the semifinals. France’s only defeat in this competition came against Tunisia in the group stage which occurred after they had already qualified for the round of 16.
The French have previously advanced to the World Cup final. Although they haven’t always had their way in the finals, France, one of the top nations in the world, has experienced triumph twice in the tournament’s history. As the current World Cup holders, Deschamps will be determined to lead France to a back-to-back WC success, a record that only happened in 1962 by Brazil.
Coming into this tournament, Deschamps is said to have the best roster in all departments of the field. With the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Griezmann, Thuram, Dembele, Hernandez, Varane, and a lot more, the French side will be confident of making history come to pass.

OUR ARGENTINA VS FRANCE WC FINAL BETTING PREDICTIONS
Argentina and Messi the great marching here to make history against a formidable opponent who has a history to curve on its own. Even though Messi seems destined for the highest honor, this French squad will be a hard nut to crack. They might perhaps withstand the Argentine storm on their way to a third World Cup victory since they don’t appear to panic and have apparent firepower. So we predict a much safer market in favor of France.
TIP 1: France Win (DNB) – odds @ 1.89
These two top teams have little to separate them in the campaign so far. Both lost only 1 match with a series of consecutive wins after the loss. The stakes are high and both sides are going to be compact at the back while depending on a counterattack. As a result, we anticipate a final clash featuring less than 3 total match goals.
TIP 2: Under 2.5 Goals – odds @ 1.56
The final showdown is finally here, and our World Cup predictions 2022 will give you some sure predictions to maximize your wins.
