France – Argentina World Cup Prediction

It is certainly one of the great highlights that holds the knockout round at this early stage, when the group winners of Group C on the second Group D meets. The event will feature the Kazan Arena in Kazan, built especially for the 21st FIFA World Cup finals, where the French were able to celebrate a 2-1 victory over Australia in the tournament’s first match. A good omen? Anyway, is in the odds France against Argentina in the role of favorites, which can certainly be attributed to the fact that the Equipe Tricolore is indeed lackluster, but marched through the preliminary round unbeaten, while the Albiceleste in the 0-3 draw against Croatia already a crashing defeat Has. It would not be the first time, however, that the gauchos can finnish into a tournament and sustainably increase, so we now want to look more closely at this eagerly awaited first knockout round. After analysis of the match, we also provide you with a well-founded World Cup tip in the forecast for France against Argentina at the end of the post.
It also plays the reigning Vice European champion against the reigning vice-champion and the last two times in the series in the final of the Copa America failed “eternal second” of this millennium, apart from two former world champions to one of the eight places in the quarterfinals to argue. There it will then go against the winner of the match between Uruguay and Portugal, which will be determined in the evening meeting before then in the semifinals, among others, World Cup favorite Brazil could wait. While the Equipe Tricolore has been counted in the run-up to the 2018 World Cup again and again in the narrow circle of favorites, then it would ultimately but a small surprise, if just the Argentines, the only on the very last pusher still in Peru and Chile were able to push past and in literally the last second ever have solved the World Cup ticket, after a sometimes disastrous preliminary round now but again to the semifinals or even further work. However, with three lackluster performances, the French national football team has also lost some of its status as a title contender.

Not least for this reason, this sonorous eighth-final between two former world champions with highly decorated cadres full of international superstars holds an excellent opportunity for both nations to play their way back to the pigeons of the experts with a convincing victory. Which nation wins the most, we will now question for you in more detail. The answer is at the end of the contribution in the forecast for France against Argentina.

France – Little shine, but a lot of efficiency

The French national football team has lost in two wins and a draw not a single group match and could thus tie in with the tournament in 2014, where they had also retracted with seven points from the preliminary round group victory. In any case, the Equipe Tricolore has been beaten only once in 13 competitive matches since their bitterly-lost 2016 European final against Portugal (1: 2 away defeat in Sweden in the World Cup qualifiers), while nine wins and three draws have also occurred a great form like the overall good test results, in the context of which you beat Italy shortly before the World Cup 3: 1. However, the sheer numbers and naked results do not really make anyone very happy, because although Didier Deschamps has some of the best players in the world and “Les Bleus” has a highly decorated troupe, none of the glamor has been missed. And against unnamed opponents such as Australia and Peru, before they had agreed in a bloodless duel with Denmark apparently at the green table on the goalless draw, with both teams reached the knockout stage for sure. After all, the efficiency is right in France, because especially in the group match against Peru, the South Americans had much more of the game, but in the end but still as a loser from the square, as the French played in the back to zero. That succeeded in duels with South American teams incidentally last in seven World Cup games in series. Could the defensive stability and offensive callousness be the key to success again?

Argentina – Escaped with a blue eye

While the German national football team experienced the biggest debacle in their World Cup history in the group stage, it almost caught the other finalists of the 2014 World Cup prematurely, after a 1-1 draw with Iceland and then a 3-0 defeat by Croatia the gauchos were almost gone from the window. There were reports of immense unrest in the squad. From a Lionel Messi (FC Barcelona), who led the coach Jorge Sampaoli ad absurdum by the captain of the Albicelecte without further ado, the lineup. And yet it remained at the end of the thick blue eye, as Marcos Rojo (Manchester United) could mark with a dream goal in the 86th minute but still the redemptive 2-1 winner against Nigeria, by the same time with assistance from Croatia against Despite all the resistance, they were able to jump from fourth place to second place in Group D and thus be able to solve the ticket for the round of 16. Mouth rinse, so here is clearly the motto, if at least the greatest damage that would have done the first Argentine preliminary round since the 2002 World Cup beyond doubt, in just the last minute just so averted. And now you find yourself right back to the opening round of the second round in the role of the outsider, which is not necessarily a disadvantage. On the contrary: Maybe that’s exactly what’s tickling out of the Albiceleste the undeniable qualities as a tournament team, with which you already got better and better at the 2014 World Cup four years ago after a moderate preliminary round. And that the two-time world champion playfully brings enough potential to get here far, is undeniable. That’s even more so when Franco Armani (River Plate) and his team were promoted to third place in the third group match, adding to the strong support they had to give up because of the bitter injury suffered by goalkeeper Sergio Romero (Manchester United).

France – Argentina Record – Previous meetings

A total of eleven clashes have already occurred between France and Argentina and at least the resulting balance should give the Albiceleste quite courage, because the gauchos lead the direct comparison with six wins clearly. Thus, the Equipe Tricolore brings it in three draws only on two games won against the Argentines and has lost the most recent comparison in a friendly at home in Marseille in 2009 (0: 2) as well as the previous two duels at the World Championships. Both in 1930 (0: 1) and 1978 (1: 2) “Les Bleus” went there at the end as a loser from the square.

Who will win France or Argentina? Prediction

In the odds, France against Argentina is now in the role of favorites, but the team of Didier Deschamps has not been tested so far, so you have yet to prove that you can play for the title here in Russia. All in all, here we see a match at eye level, in which it might be necessary to use the extra time in the very first knockout round of the tournament to determine a winner, because in two high-class offensives, which should be neutralized by no less powerful defensive, The first mistake in the game could also make the decision immediately.
