Spain vs Argentina

Spain come into this with very strong recent form, going 7 wins and 3 draws in their last 10 matches with no defeats, including six straight World Cup wins before this game. Argentina are also excellent at 8 wins, 2 draws, and 0 losses in their last 10, so this final looks very evenly matched on overall level. The available head-to-head record leans slightly toward Spain with 3 wins from the last 4 meetings, but those meetings are quite old and should be treated carefully. On another angle, the current 1X2 prices make Spain only a narrow favorite, which fits the broader form picture. However, because confirmed lineups and other live signals are not available, this assessment remains conservative.
