Our Prediction

Although Spain only conceded one goal in the whole tournament, the head-to-head encounters between these two teams tend to be high-scoring, and with Argentina being the top scorer of not only this World Cup but in the history of World Cups, you can expect some fireworks on the field.

The no 1 FIFA-ranked team face the no 2 ranked Spain, setting up a juicy fixture to end this campaign. You can expect a tough contest between the two teams, but I think the fightback spirit and unity of the Argentina team will work out and make them the winners. We say it will be 2-1 to Argentina.
