Spain v Argentina: World Cup Final Preview, Stats and Best Bets

It all comes down to this. The European champions against the holders, Spain against Argentina, at the MetLife Stadium for the biggest prize in the game. Spain arrive having conceded one goal in seven games and unbeaten in 90 minutes for 37 matches, while Argentina have found a way in every knockout tie, twice needing extra time. Below is my full preview of the final, with a best bet, two builders and four singles, all backed by the numbers.

Best Bet of the FinalSpain to win the World Cup & Leandro Paredes 1+ foul 1/1

The Stats

Spain have conceded just one goal in seven games and are unbeaten in 90 minutes in 37 matches, a national record

They have never lost a game at a World Cup or Euros under Luis de la Fuente

Paredes has committed a foul in five of seven games at 1.1 per 90, screening midfield against the best passing side in the world

Best Bet Builder7/5Add to Slip

Under 3.5 goals

Mikel Oyarzabal 1+ shot on target

7+ corners

The Stats

Six of Spain’s seven games have stayed under 3.5 goals, they concede almost nothing at 0.42 xG against per game

Oyarzabal has a shot on target in six of seven, including four against Austria and three against Saudi Arabia

Both sides combined average over 11 corners a game, and 7+ has landed in six of Argentina’s seven

A World Cup final between the European champions and the holders, and these rarely fly open, so under 3.5 goals is the anchor against a Spain side conceding next to nothing. Oyarzabal is the man for the big occasion and tests the keeper almost every week, so 1+ on target for him fits. Both sides win plenty of corners so 7+ rounds it off. 7/5 with bet365 is a fair price on a tight, tense final.

Bigger Priced Bet Spain v Argentina · 15/2

Bet Builder15/2Add to Slip

3+ Argentina cards

Alex Baena 2+ shots

Pedro Porro 1+ shot

Lamine Yamal 2+ fouls

The Stats

Argentina picked up three yellow cards against England and three against Switzerland, and the stakes only rise from here

Baena averages two shots per 90 and Spain’s left is their volume side, 17+ shots a game as a team

Porro has a shot in five of seven games and scored against France in the semi

Yamal has committed 2+ fouls in three of the last five, including three against France and five against Portugal, with Tagliafico overlapping at him all night

If you want a bigger price for the final, this four leg builder backs Spain to dominate the ball while Argentina do the fouling. Argentina have picked up three bookings in each of their last two knockout games and the stakes could not be higher here. Baena and Porro give Spain their shot volume down both flanks, and Yamal has real defensive work to do against Tagliafico’s overlaps. 15/2 with bet365 is a proper price for a bet grounded in the numbers.

How we pick our World Cup bet builders

Each bet builder is built around angles we actually trust, not just long odds for the sake of it. That means team form, player shots on target and foul numbers, corner counts, referee card averages and how we expect the game to play out. We’d rather give you a 4/1 builder with four legs that all make sense than a 50/1 lottery ticket.
