Top Three Free Predictions and Betting Tips for Argentina vs France

Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Argentina to Win – 2.80

Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: France 0 Goal Handicap – 1.88

Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Lionel Messi to Score Anytime – 2.5

Argentina to Win

According to the stats, there is an 80% chance that Argentina will win this game after winning eight of their previous ten fixtures across all competitions. In the recent World Cup, the Albiceleste are undefeated in their last five games.

France 0 Goal Handicap

Since the start of the World Cup in Qatar, France played six games, won five, and lost one. Les Bleus covered the suggested handicap in those five wins and did the same in seven of their last ten fixtures in all levels of international games.

Lionel Messi to Score Anytime

Lionel Messi scored five goals in the Qatar 2022 World Cup in six games. The Argentine captain has scored 11 goals for his country and holds the record for the most goals for Argentina in the World Cup.

Preliminary Review and Match Prediction for Argentina vs France

Argentina

After a tournament that’s thrown up several eye-catching upsets, two of the World Cup’s most consistent recent performers will meet in the 2022 final when Argentina and France take the field at Lusail Iconic Stadium in Qatar. 

Argentina’s defeat came in their opener when they lost 2-1 to Saudi Arabia and it understandably led many pundits and fans to predict an early exit for the 1978 and 1986 champions. But inspired by Lionel Messi they improved to record back-to-back 2-0 wins over Mexico and Poland to qualify for the knockouts.

After beating Australia 2-1, they wobbled against the Netherlands in the quarter-finals when they conceded twice late on, eventually prevailing on penalties before outclassing Croatia 3-0 in the semi-final. 

France

France, winners in 1998 and 2018, beat surprise package Morocco 2-0 on Wednesday after scoring the earliest World Cup semi-final goal since 1958. They quickly found a way to break down the tournament’s most stubborn defense, while also keeping their first clean sheet of the competition, after hard-fought knockout wins over Poland (3-1) and England (2-1).

Group-stage victories over Denmark (2-1) and Australia (4-1) enabled Les Bleus to rotate their squad before the knockouts, a contributing factor to their 1-0 defeat by Tunisia.

It’s therefore worrying that their squad has been hit by illness with Adrien Rabiot, Dayot Upamecano and Kingsley Coman unwell in the lead-up to the semi-final, meaning manager Didier Deschamps may have to field some of his other squad players for the final as he bids to become the first manager since Vittorio Pozzo in 1938 to win consecutive World Cups.

Argentina vs France Prediction

This will be the final chance for Lionel Messi to win a World Cup trophy, the only trophy that’s eluded him in his career. We think Argentina have a stronger incentive to win this game and be crowned as World champions for the third time in their history.

Safe Bet

Argentina scored at least a goal in all of their six World Cup games and all 15 of their previous fixtures. In addition, France conceded at least a goal in five of their six World Cup games. With odds of 1.41 at 22Bet, we predict Argentina to score over 0.5 goals.
