Spain vs. Argentina Predictions

• When: Sunday, July 19, 9 PM CET
• Where: MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ, USA

The Latin world is on fire as Spain and Argentina meet in the World Cup finals. On one side are the European rulers, while on the other sit the still-reigning world champions. Both teams are fantastic, though their playing philosophies are a bit different. While Spain acts as a team without a true leader, Argentina is quite the opposite, with Messi being the alpha and the omega of the squad.

Spain vs. Argentina Preview

Spain

Luis de la Fuente’s men have allowed just a single goal throughout the entire tournament. This is something we haven’t seen before, and do remember that this World Cup has more games than in the past.

Meanwhile, Spain’s offensive threat is as balanced as it gets. In five of their last eight matches, La Roja scored at least twice. And just to mention, Lamin Yamal scored just one goal. So it’s not about Barca’s wunderkind, but the entire team.

To be honest, we don’t know who the leader of this unit is. Each time, a different player emerges and pushes the team forward. Sometimes it’s Merino, other times, Rodri, we’ve seen Cucurella putting on a clinic in the semis, so it’s pretty diverse with Spain here.

Argentina

La Albiceleste looked to be on the ropes against England in their semifinal. Thomas Tuchel made it possible for Messi and the boys to turn the score around in the final minutes of the game and reach the finals.

The Gauchos pressed England, who chaotically defended without even thinking of striking back. Tuchel’s substitutes only helped the Argentinians, who are way too experienced not to use a chance like that.

Argentina has been an absolute machine when it comes to scoring. It netted two or more goals in every single match at this World Cup. Eventually, all of their recent matches have been very interesting and exciting to watch, as the past 5 matches all ended with both teams netting and over 2.5 goals.

Spain vs Argentina Head to Head

These two powerhouses have not met since a friendly back in 2018. That one saw Spain humiliating Argentina, 6-1. Looking at their last four head-to-head encounters, both teams have scored over 2.5 goals in each match, with Spain posting three wins to Argentina’s one.

Spain vs. Argentina Predictions

This will be a tactical slugfest between two teams that are extremely cautious in high-stakes matches. Also, many of these players know one another pretty well, so be sure that the respective game plans will be extremely detailed. The only logical solution here is to bet on low efficiency, as we don’t see more than two goals in this event.

Our verdict: Under 2.5 goals
