Argentina and France both deservedly made it through to the Final of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar where much of the focus is bound to be on Messi and Mbappe, the best player in the world and his possible replacement.

The Inside brings you the best in betting tips and prediction during the 2022 FIFA World Cup as the stage is set to find out whether France become the first nation to win successive World Cups since Brazil in 1962 or if Argentina lift the trophy for the first time since 1982.
Argentina vs France Predictions
- Argentina and France have scored a 25 goals in their combined 12 World Cup matches so far
- France have kept just one clean sheet in the tournament
- Lionel Messi has five goals in the 2022 World Cup and has scored 15 in his last ten international appearances
Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni officially has a fully healthy squad, which is a rarity at this stage of the competition after a grueling, month-long journey in Qatar. The only slight questions are the fitness of Angel Di Maria and Paulo Dybala, as the former was an unused substitute against Croatia in the semifinal, while the latter saw just 16 minutes off the bench, his first appearance of the tournament. It’s been no matter, as Julian Alvarez has been outstanding in support of star Lionel Messi.
France have weathered their early injury crisis with aplomb. Les Bleus are without Paul Pogba, N’Golo Kante, Karim Benzema, Presnel Kimpembe, Christopher Nkunuku, and Mike Maignan, who all missed the tournament with pre-World Cup injuries. They then lost Lucas Hernandez to a torn ACL in the opening match. Yet, they’ve made use of their world-class depth, as Lucas Hernandez has stepped in for his brother admirably and Olivier Giroud has been fantastic up front in Benzema’s absence.
Argentina v France key stats
- Argentina and France have played three times previously at the FIFA World Cup. Argentina won the first two meetings in 1930 and 1978, while France knocked Argentina out of the 2018 World Cup in the Round of 16.
- If Kylian Mbappe continues at his current pace for the French national team, by age 30 he will have amassed 153 international caps and 79 goals. At that rate, he would catch Cristiano Ronaldo’s record of 118 international goals in his 229th cap at age 36.
- Should Argentina win the final, Lionel Messi would become the fourth-oldest player to win a FIFA World Cup in which he played, behind Miroslav Klose, Nilton Santos and 40-year-old Italian record-holder Dino Zoff.
