DBasia.news – Argentina will face France in the 2022 World Cup final match. What is the record for the meeting between the two clubs?
The 2022 World Cup final will take place at Lusail Stadium, Sunday (18/12), at 22.00 WIB. Argentina and France have equal chances to win.
The meeting between Argentina and France is an ideal final. Both teams are favorites to win the 2022 World Cup.
Argentina came to Qatar with the status of Copa America champion. Meanwhile, France are the UEFA Nations League champion and the defending World Cup champion.
This indicates that both teams are in the best performance. Argentina and France also have a row of stars.
But in terms of meeting records, Argentina are still superior to France. Of the 12 times they met in various competitions, the Albiceleste won half or six times.
Meanwhile, France has only beaten Argentina three times. The remaining three meetings ended in a draw.
Interestingly, most of the duels between Argentina and France took place in trial matches. The two teams have only met three times in the World Cup finals.
Of these, Argentina are also still superior by winning two wins. Meanwhile, France have only won once.
However, Argentina’s two wins have taken place quite a long time ago, namely in the 1930 and 1978 editions. Meanwhile, France’s victory occurred four years ago when the two teams met in the last 16.
This can be a signal that the history of the meeting does not really affect the results of the final match later. France still have a chance to improve their record against Argentina.
