Argentina and France meet in the World Cup final at the Lusail Iconic Stadium on Sunday, with the bookies finding it difficult to split the finalists.
World Cup Final Betting Odds
France are the marginal favourites to retain the trophy they won four years ago in Russia with most bookmakers, with best odds of 10/11 (1.91) available with Betway Sports, with Argentina available at a best price of Evens (2.00) with William Hill.
With regards to the final itself, the Match Result (90-minutes) betting odds sees France at 7/4 with BetFred, the draw is 2/1 with 888sport and Argentina can be backed at odds of 19/10 with SpreadEx.
Golden Boot Betting - Messi v Mbappe
It’s also Argentina v France in the race for the World Cup 2022 Top Goalscorer (Golden Boot), with the joint-top scorers on five goals each going into the final being Paris Saint-Germain teammates, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe.
The potential shoot-out between the world’s best player and his heir apparent adds a fascinating angle to the final, with Messi the marginal favourite to bow out of World Cup football (and quite possibly bid farewell to international football altogether) with the World Cup Golden Boot award at 1/1 with BetFred, while Mbappe is on offer at odds of 11/8 with William Hill.
Other Golden Boot Contenders
The two superstar players could potentially be pipped for top spot by teammates, with Argentina’s Julian Alvarez and France’s Olivier Giroud both on for goals coming into the final.
Olivier Giroud is 20/1 with William Hill to overhaul Messi and Mbappe, while Julian Alvarez is 25/1 with William Hill to finish as Top Goalscorer.
Highest Scoring Team
The two finalists are also, perhaps unsurprisingly, the leading contenders to finish as the Highest Scoring Team at World Cup 2022. France come into the showdown as joint-top scorers to date with 13 goals, which puts them level with England. Hot on their heels on 12 goals are Argentina.
There are only a few bookies currently offering odds on the Highest Scoring Team market, but SpreadEx offer France at 4/9, Argentina at 5/2 and England (who can only tie for the award of course) at 10/1.
Golden Ball Betting
The betting for the World Cup 2022 Golden Ball, presented to the best player at World Cup 2022, sees Lionel Messi as the warm favourite at 1/5 with 888sport, with Kylian Mbappe at 5/1 with BetFred.
Antoine Griezmann comes next at 14/1 with Betvictor, Julian Alvarez at 66/1 with 888sport and Olivier Giroud at 100/1 with Betway.
