Argentina and France are the two hottest teams right now as far as the Qatar 2022 World Cup is concerned. Moreover, these two teams are fair rivals despite not being in the same continent.
Both teams have met before at the 2018 World Cup in Russia where France eliminated Messi and his colleagues in 4-3 thriller.

However, Argentina will look forward to a revenge and possibly break the Herat of the French team just like they did to them at the round of 16 of 2018 world cup in Russia.

Bet of the day
Argentina vs France
Prediction: Both teams are expected to score goals.
Reason for the Prediction
In their combined 12 World Cup games, Argentina and France have scored 25 goals, but they have only combined for four clean sheets, with France allowing goals in five of their six World Cup contests.
The last time they met in world cup in 2018, the score ended 4-3 in favor of France.
Match Preview
Argentina will play France in the World Cup final, with France making their second consecutive appearance.
PSG teammates Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe face off as they compete for the Golden Boot and Golden Ball awards.
Argentina to field a solid squad against France
After serving one-match suspensions in the semifinal match against Croatia, Marcos Acuna and Gonzalo Montiel are both on Lionel Scaloni’s roster.
Angel Di Maria came off the bench against the Netherlands but was an unused substitute against Croatia.
For this championship game, he might return to the lineup to face France who have been a force to reckon with so far.
France to patch up their defense line
Looking at the French camp, due to flu instances, Adrien Rabiot and Dayot Upamecano were both benched, and Youssuf Fofana and Ibrahima Konate, respectively, took their places as the team’s starters. Both athletes should, however, return to the side if healthy.
Match Facts
- Argentina have scored 2 goals or more in their previous 5 world cup matches
- France have also scored 2 goals or more in 6 of their previous 7 world cup matches
- Both teams scored goals which ended in 4-3 in favorite of France in 2018 world cup.
Conclusion
Both teams have overcome strong opposition in the knockEout stages, and both have scored more than 12 goals overall, with France having 13 goals to Argentina’s 12.
However, I believe that because neither team wants to lose, the game will likely be close and decided by penalties and/or overtime. A possible scoreline of 1-1 is my correct score prediction.
