Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Argentina vs France

Argentina

The Argentina national team defeated the Croatian team in the semifinal match and once again answered all the critics who wrote off the team of Lionel Scaloni after the defeat from Saudi Arabia in the first round. Since then, the Argentines have won every match and deservedly reached the main match of the World Cup in Qatar.

The last time the Argentines played in the World Cup final was in 2014, and they won at all in 1986. Fans of albiceleste missed the triumph at the World Cup, so they rightly expect only a positive result from their favorites. And for Lionel Messi, the leader and captain of the team, this match will be the last for the Argentina national team and the last opportunity to win the World Cup.

France

The French took on the sensational Moroccan team in the last match with some problems, but still managed to win in regulation time and reach the final of the World Cup for the second time in a row. The current world champions have a good chance to repeat their achievement four years ago and once again lift the cup over their heads.

The French national team was initially considered one of the main contenders for victory in the tournament, so its entry into the World Cup final can hardly be called a big surprise. Throughout the world championship, Didier Deschamps' wards played very solidly and strongly, and in almost every match they proved their superiority over their rivals.
