Spain vs Argentina prediction, odds and betting tips for 19.07.2026 19:00. Full preview, team news and best bets for this World Cup match.
Football matches do not get much bigger than this. The World Cup final will be played at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Sunday 19th July, between Spain and Argentina. The two best teams in the world battle it out for the most famous trophy in world football. Spain, who have only conceded one goal in seven matches, go against reigning champions Argentina, who have scored the most at 19.
Lionel Messi must be the first player to watch as he has been excellent throughout the competition. As Mbappe will play the day before, Messi will know what is required to be top scorer of the tournament, which is extra fuel to his fire. Oyarzabal has scored five goals this tournament and has a knack of scoring important goals. In fact, he has scored in all six finals he has ever played in for club and country. These are two forwards that can change the game and are big match players.
We expect Spain to win this game in a fiercely fought battle. The Spain team works as a beautiful unit, with each player understanding their role. The reason they do not concede goals is their togetherness and team stability. We expect Spain to win 1-0.
