2022 World Cup Tips and Predictions: Final - Argentina v France
Summary of WC 2022
Qatar 2022 has been one for the books!
As we countdown towards the final game of the World Cup, we have two teams trying to put on for their nations.
Argentina and France will lock horns once again in 2022, this time, for an all-time trophy.
Starting from the very first day of the group stage, there has been action aplenty every day.
This month has gone by super fast, and fans will be missing the competition once it’s over this upcoming Sunday.
We are four years away from the next World Cup, which is crazy to think about.
The favorites coming into this tournament were Brazil, Argentina, France, and Portugal. Not in any necessary order, two of those teams made it this far.
Apart from them, many other big countries with football aspirations were taken out early.
In the group stage, we saw the likes of Japan and Saudi Arabia make some real noise.
Underdog upsets at every stop, this World Cup really reminded the world of how great international competition can be.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi were the main storylines heading into Qatar and Messi has one game left to prove his case.
Let’s get into this matchup between two absolutely rich footballing countries.
Match Betting Preview
Argentina have put on a clinic in the clutch moments and throughout the entire tournament.
Qatar 2022 looked to be coming to an early end after their shock loss to Saudi Arabia, but their engines have kicked into gear tenfold since.
Lionel Messi is looking to end his international career on the highest of highs, with a trophy to complete his beautiful career.
The 35-year-old maestro might be the most skilled player the game has ever seen, and the world is cheering him on with happiness.
Overall, Argentina has played well against every competition it has faced.
Although it had scares versus Netherlands, they prevailed and that’s all that matters.
Messi has performed extremely well this tournament, with five goals and three assists to his name.
Defensively, their backline is not the best, but have held up well when it mattered.
Argentina has a clump of talent that is clearly ready to give it all for their star man and country.
France is looking to make an impact on the football landscape forever. A back-to-back WC run would be monumental.
Two Championships over eight years is not something that many could even fathom.
Returning a ton of their young talent and some of their veteran leaders, this France squad is deep.
Many of their players are missing due to illness and injury from before the tournament and during, but that hasn’t stopped them from delivering wins.
Getting it done in any way possible, even if conceding goals, is special.
Their ability to score from open play, penalties, and any other form you may think of, is truly remarkable.
They have great finishing prowess, and the midfield has been able to hold things down thanks to Antoine Greizmann.
Why Can They Win?
Argentina has some of the premier players in the world but the obvious highlight is Lionel Messi.
If Messi continues his level from previous matches, this will be a fun game. He has started to turn the wheels on fellow attacker, Julian Alvarez.
Manchester City’s newest signing has been level to the challenge.
Creating and scoring for fun, Messi and Alvarez will cause definite problems against the France defence.
There are going to be opportunities on the run and from free kicks.
If they can get the French defense leaning, it could be a long but awesome night for the white and blue.
France hasn’t really been touched whatsoever in Qatar 2022.
Their line-ups have remained able to keep up, no matter who is on the pitch.
Kylian Mbappe will be the key man to watch for, but don’t keep your eyes off Antoine Griezmann.
Legendary players already, this France team is going for something epic. Allez Les Bleus are going to give it their all without backing down.
Betting Prediction - Take Argentina to qualify and the over 2.5 goals on the asian total, this will be a spectacle for all sporting fans!
