Prediction and Odds
The two most deserved teams ultimately reached the finish line, and according to the FIFA rankings, this is No. 3 vs. No. 4 for the battle of the title.
Lionel Messi will.be fully prepared to end his international career with a title. Nevertheless, the No. 10 player and Argentina will not be underestimating the opponents after seeing the extended periods of pressure Les Bleus endured in their semifinal matchup against Morocco. The Albiceleste are built well to control the ball against France’s defence and counter the speed. Despite having several injuries before the tournament began, France has been outstanding, destroying opponents with speed and accuracy on the counterattack led by Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann. They are a difficult opponent, especially with No. 9 Olivier Giroud in outstanding form.
There is hardly any difference between the two teams’ probability of winning in the ordinance and their odds of winning the World Cup. Some bookmakers even divided the difference evenly, unable to favour one side over the other with both the teams having top class players.
