For the first time since 1962, the holders have a chance to defend their title, not since Brazil. While Didier Deschamps is not always the most popular figure, the Les Bleus boss is on course for his third title, his second in charge of the national team. Due to the injury before the tournament, this is an achievement.

For Argentina, old doubts about whether Lionel Messi cares about the national team or not have been put to rest. The 35-year-old's form in Qatar has been compared to the level Diego Maradona was at when he led his side to victory in 1986 and, as always, the comparisons between the two are hard to ignore.

It seems more and more as if the script has already been written. In his latest World Cup, arguably the greatest player of all time is closer than he has ever been - even in the 2014 final - to capturing the ultimate honour.

Argentina-France team news

Both Adrien Rabiot and Dayot Upamecano missed the win against Morocco due to illness but are expected to return for the final.

Marcos Acuna and Gonzalo Montiel will also be available for selection after being ruled out of the semi-final due to suspension.

After Angel di Maria's recent injury, he will certainly push for a start and will no doubt do his best to play.

Argentina vs France Prediction

Although Messi seems to have the ultimate honor, this French team is the one to beat. Seemingly unable to panic and boasting obvious firepower, it is possible for Argentina to storm to a third World Cup victory.
