France vs. Argentina Predictions

This should be an outstanding match. Lionel Messi confirmed that this will be his final World Cup appearance. France will try to become the first nation to grab back-to-back World Cup titles since the 1960s. So who is going to lift the trophy?

Honestly, it could go either way. This will be an incredibly tight match despite both sides posing viable attacks. France and Argentina are capable of grabbing late equalizers to bring their squad back into the game. In other words, neither side will win this one going away.

For that reason, we see value on the draw (in regulation) for +200, which seems like a reasonable outcome despite the longest of the three-way moneyline odds. This World Cup has been crazy up to this point, and we could see one last dose of drama with the Final settled in extra time or penalty kicks.
