Artem Frankov, a well-known journalist and editor-in-chief of Futbol magazine, has prepared predictions for the final matches of the 2022 World Cup between Croatia and Morocco and Argentina and France.
Artem Frankov"Let's start with the final match between Argentina and France. You can argue for a long time who should have played in the final. Someone had complaints against the judges, someone was frankly disappointed by one of the favorites, etc. But we have a couple of the strongest, most worthy teams that will play for the main trophy.
Bookmakers give odds of 2.88 for Argentina to win - this is a victory in the main time of the game, 2.80 for France. France are slight favorites for the final. Yes, Mbappe and company are a little stronger than Messi and Argentina by this 0.08% according to the bookmakers. Maybe, but I believe that the opponents are equal in everything - the result is unpredictable. Still, I think Argentina will win. And Leo Messi will win the 2022 World Cup Golden Ball (award to the best player of the tournament) and finally touch that golden ball (the main prize of the World Cup). There's a draw at 3.10, but I'll settle for an Argentina win in full time at 2.88.
In addition, on Saturday there will be a match for the third place between Croatia and Morocco. And here, despite the position of the bookmakers, who see Croatia as a slight favorite, I will bet on the Croatians, because I consider them clear favorites. First, the Croats had an extra day of rest than the Moroccans. Secondly, they spent significantly less effort in the semi-finals. Croatia was frankly "angry" with Argentina, and Morocco had a real fight with the French. Therefore, my choice is obvious - the victory of Croatia in the main time of the game at the odds of 2.42," Frankov said.
