The Scout: World Cup Matchday 22 Preview, 18 Dec

Posted on | Posted by The Scout

Final

Argentina v France

Lionel Messi is within touching distance of winning a first World Cup but there are slight concerns over a possible hamstring issue. Marcos Acuna and Gonzalo Montiel return from suspension, with the former likely to reclaim his spot at left back. Julian Alvarez has been a revelation since earning a starting role and will continue to lead the line.

Dayot Upamecano and Adrien Rabiot missed the semi-final through illness and their replacements, Youssouf Fofana and Ibrahima Konate, have given coach Didier Deschamps something to think about. Theo Hernandez (hip), Aurelien Tchouameni (knee), Raphael Varane, Kingsley Coman, and Konate (all ill) sat out training in the lead up abut should be available for selection. Kylian Mbappe and Messi sit neck-and-neck in the race for the Golden Boot.

WIN France @ $2.75*

*Odds correct as at 9am, 18th December 2022.
