Argentina vs France Team Props Preview
World Cup Final, Sunday, December 18th, 15:00 (UK)
These teams have played six matches in Qatar and there is plenty of data to consider ahead of this one. The enormity of the occasion should play a part in how this one turns out regarding every tackle, shot and prop.
We’ve used the historical data and the expected shape of both teams to analyse each market.
Argentina vs France Team Shots Preview
Finals are often cagey affairs. Barring an early goal, there is usually a lengthy feeling-out process with neither team willing to commit too many men forward. However, expect a significant amount of shots when the game does spring into life.
Argentina’s semi-final against Croatia started at a leisurely pace. Messi broke the deadlock from the penalty spot which created a more open encounter.
This Sunday, there are players on both teams that are capable of conjuring up something from nothing. Both the French and the Argentines have the attacking muscle to grab an early goal.
Argentina vs France Team Shots Best Bet
France’s World Cup matches are averaging 25.33 shots per game. Argentina matches are averaging just 17.83 shots per game. However, their last match against Croatia saw 22 shots after an extremely slow start.
Deschamps’ side will be less reluctant to attack than Croatia and aren’t as possession orientated. Both teams could rack up the shots in a very short period if they are chasing the game at any point.
The match shot line looks low in this one given the French team’s stats in Qatar.
- Selection: Over 22.5 Shots (TRACKED BET)
- Best Odds: 2.00 (bet365)
- Stakes: 7/10
Argentina vs France Team Offsides Preview
This France team has players who like to play on the shoulder of the opposition defence. They have a dynamic forward line that likes to interchange. Several of their attackers have been caught offside in this tournament.
Kylian Mbappe was caught offside 3 times against Morocco. Olivier Giroud, the main striker, was also caught offside.
Julian Alvarez has slotted into the Argentine forward line after Scaloni dropped Lautaro Martinez. He has been making the runs in behind for Messi to find him with a defence-splitting pass. Alvarez has been so impressive that former France international Mikael Silvestre even included him in his 2022 World Cup team of the tournament in our exclusive interview.
Argentina vs France Team Offsides Best Bet
Argentina’s matches at this tournament are averaging four offsides per game. Their first two matches are the only ones that have seen four or more offsides. Saudi Arabia and Mexico both opted to press Argentina and this was a contributor to the offsides.
While France are comfortable out of possession, they won’t allow Argentina to dictate the pace of the game for 90 minutes. Their matches this tournament are averaging 3.5 offsides per game.
- Selection: Over 3.5 Match Offsides (TRACKED BET)
- Best Odds: 1.83 (bet365)
- Stakes: 5/10
Argentina vs France Team Throw Ins Preview
Both defences will be keen to avoid mistakes in the final. They should be less likely to attempt risky balls out from the back and may instead opt to clear the ball.
France have a great deal of pace in wide areas and they will be attacking full-backs that are not shy about diving in. Mbappe and Dembele successfully isolating themselves from Molina and Tagliafico will inevitably lead to French throws.
Argentina vs France Team Throw Ins Best Bet
France’s three matches in the knockout stages have seen 32 or fewer throws. Their matches throughout the tournament have averaged 38.83 throws per game. There were 44 and 57 throws in their group matches against Australia and Tunisia so their matches do have the potential to see a lot of throws.
Argentina’s knockout matches have seen 40, 41, and 47 throws. Their matches are averaging 39.83 throws per game in Qatar.
The 2018 World Cup final involving France saw 46 throws.
- Selection: Over 38.5 Match Throws (TRACKED BET)
- Best Odds: 1.83 (bet365)
- Stakes: 7/10
Argentina vs France Team Goals Preview
There is an abundance of attacking talent on both teams ahead of Sunday’s match. The 2022 final looks set to be an entertaining affair with chances at either end.
Argentina survived a scare in the quarter-finals against the Dutch. They conceded two late goals in 10 minutes of madness that highlighted some defensive frailties.
The French kept their only clean sheet of the tournament against Morocco. Argentina have shut the opposition out in half of their games but they haven’t faced anyone quite like France.
Argentina vs France Team Goals Best Bet
Argentina have scored in all six of their World Cup matches so far. Scaloni’s side have scored in all 15 of their matches in 2022 and they have improved as the tournament has gone on.
France have scored in five of their six matches. The only game that the French have failed to score in was against Tunisia. Deschamps used a heavily rotated squad in that game with qualification to the last 16 already secured.
- Selection: Yes on Both Teams To Score (TRACKED BET)
- Best Odds: 2.05 (Unibet)
- Stakes: 8/10
Argentina vs France Team Tackles Preview
The World Cup final is always a hard-fought contest, which will mean we see players keen to make their mark. The finals have historically seen a lot of tackles. Sunday’s match should be no different.
The French side features many players who possess great pace and who like dribbling with the ball. They have attempted 12.33 dribbles per game; the most of any team in the tournament.
Lionel Messi is the obvious candidate to be tackled in the Argentina side. In the 2014 World Cup final, Argentina forced 26 German tackles in normal time.
Argentina vs France Team Tackles Best Bet
France’s matches at the tournament are averaging 37 tackles per game. Argentina’s matches in Qatar are averaging 31.67 tackles.
The last five World Cup finals have seen 40, 45, 41, 45, and 53 tackles. This exudes any of the tackles that were made in the matches that went to extra time.
Argentina’s semi-final saw 40 tackles. France’s games saw 36. Expect more than a little bite in these tackles considering the importance of the fixture. That adds to the spectacle of what will be a memorable game.
- Selection: Over 34.5 Tackles In The Match (TRACKED BET)
- Best Odds: 1.83 (bet365)
- Stakes: 8/10
Best odds available as at 08:30 on 16th December 2022. Odds may now differ.
