Spain vs Argentina

This is the World Cup Final between two highly structured teams. Spain has shown incredible defensive solidity, keeping clean sheets in almost all of their World Cup matches (conceding 0 goals in the group stage and only 0 against Portugal, Austria, and Uruguay in the knockouts).

Argentina has a perfect winning record in their recent matches but has shown some defensive vulnerability, conceding twice against both Cape Verde and Egypt. A tight, tactical battle is expected, likely ending in a 1-1 draw in regulation time, with Argentina's tournament experience and penalty shootout pedigree giving them the edge to lift the trophy.
