Argentina vs France: FIFA World Cup 2022: Dream11 Prediction, Possible Line-ups and Fantasy Tips

We have witnessed a phenomenal World Cup this time around which has seen plenty of upsets and surprises.

France have the chance to become the first team since 1962 to defend the World Cup with Brazil successfully defending their crown back then.

The clash between France and Argentina will see PSG teammates Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe lock horns against each other. These two nations have met three times before at World Cups, with Argentina winning in both the first edition in 1930 and also in 1978 as they went on to win the World Cup. However, in 2018, Kylian Mbappe scored twice in a 4-3 thriller to secure a win for Les Bleus against the South American giants.

Argentina vs France key players to watch out:

Argentina: Lionel Messi has been the key player for Argentina making things happen on the pitch. The Argentine superstar will be the biggest threat to the French defence thanks to his sheer magic.

France: France have no shortage of superstars in their roster but Kylian Mbappe is clearly the player who stands out. Mbappe has been on fire during the FIFA World Cup and will be looking for his second World Cup title. He has already scored 5 goals in this World Cup, same as Argentina’s Lionel Messi.

Argentina vs France prediction:

Argentina have done really well to recover from their loss against Saudi Arabia in the first game but France will be the favourites in the final. Les Bleus have an edge over La Albiceleste in terms of overall quality and winning experience. We predict a 1-2 win for France.
