After 63 games, the moment is set as we find out who will have the title as World Champions when Argentina face holders France in the 2022 FIFA World Cup final in Qatar. Holders France go into their third final while Argentina, with 2014's final still ringing in their ears, go into their sixth when they walk out to the Lusail Stadium.
The bookies cannot decide between them with holders France at 9/5 and Argentina at 9/5 too while a draw after 90 minutes is 21/10. Elsewhere, the Golden Boot could well be settled in this match with Leo Messi, Kylian Mbappe, Julian Alvarez and Olivier Giroud all in the running to win the top scorer prize.
Messi and Mbappe are tied with five goals plus three assists apiece while Alvarez and Giroud are tied with four goals. Yet the bookies expect a clear winner in Messi at evens with Mbappe narrowly behind at 11/10 while Alvarez and Giroud - with just a goal behind the leaders - are 11/1 longshots with bookies Betfred.
