Argentina vs France Prediction

Argentina and France are playing in the World Cup final on Sunday, December 18. Lionel Messi is making his final appearance in this tournament. France is hoping to become the first nation to win the trophy in consecutive tournaments for the the first time in decades. Kylian Mbappe is the star player for France.

Argentina and France are playing for the World Cup title. Argentina have been near flawless in this tournament, while France has won five of their six matches. The familiarity of players makes for compelling storylines throughout this match. Argentina is playing to win the trophy for their captain, Lionel Messi. France is looking to become the first nation since Brazil 60 years ago to repeat as champions. Rodrigo de Paul will be tasked with helping stop Antoine Griezmann. Cristian Romero will defend one goal and Hugo Lloris will deny attempts in the other. Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez will play for Manchester United.

Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe to each get a shot on target is a bonus at bet365. Argentina vs France is the World Cup match.

France and Argentina are playing in the World Cup final. France has won all four previous meetings with Argentina. Argentina won the 2014 World cup. France won nine of their last 10 matches over the past two World Cups. They lost to Argentina 4-3 in a group stage game in 2010. The team that won that game was coached by Luis Suarez. He will coach Argentina in this match. It will be a repeat of the 2010 World Championship final, which Argentina lost 4 to 3.

Both teams have outstanding firepower in attack and outstanding defensive talent. Both teams' games ended with at least three goals. Argentina have been hurt by teams with pace. France has kept just one clean sheet in the tournament. I'll be taking the Over in this one. I might dabble a bit on the 3.5 over as well. The game is at the Estadio Mineirao. It's at 2.50 pm local time.

Argentina's Alejandro Gomez is out. France's Raphael Varane, Ibrahima Konate and Lucas Hernandez are injured.
