The stage is set for a memorable finale to the 2026 World Cup as holders Argentina take on European champions Spain in the showpiece.
It has been far from a straightforward title defence for Lionel Messi and Co, who have flirted with disaster in all their knockout games.
Spain, on the other hand, seem to have been getting stronger with every game and had too much class for favourites France in the semi-finals.
That's why they're favourites on the World Cup betting apps to come out on top but we've picked out a bet builder that can deliver a tidy profit.
Spain to lift the trophy
It's hard to look past Spain in this game as they head into the game on an incredible 37-game unbeaten run.
Keeper Unai Simon has also conceded just one goal all tournament and Luis De La Fuente's side have more quality in the key midfield battle ground.
Bet365 price the Spanish at 13/20 to lift the trophy, which gets us off to a decent start in the bet builder.
Lamine Yamal to be fouled over 1.5 times
Argentina targeted Jude Bellingham in their semi-final win over England and the Real Madrid star was on the end of some rough treatment.
It's Lamine Yamal who offers the biggest threat for Spain so I'd imagine the Barcelona wonderkid will be tightly marked in the showpiece.
Bet365 are offering 2/7 on the 19-year-old being fouled over 1.5 times, which should be a banker given he loves to take the ball for a run.
Enzo Fernandez to commit over 1.5 fouls
Argentina's midfield will try to knock Spain out of their stride and another feature of that semi-final with England was how many fouls were committed, especially in the first half.
Enzo Fernandez was lucky to escape a yellow card for steaming into Elliot Anderson and the Chelsea star committed three fouls across the 90 minutes.
He will be fired up for this final and I'd imagine Fernandez will be snapping into challenges against the likes of Rodri, Fabian Ruiz and Dani Olmo.
The Argentina star could be a bit too committed at times and he's 1/2 at Bet365 for over 1.5 fouls.
Emiliano Martinez over 2.5 saves
Talisman Messi hogged the headlines in the last World Cup final when Argentina beat France in Qatar but keeper Emiliano Martinez was every bit as important for them.
The Aston Villa No.1 made a brilliant save to stop Les Bleus from winning the game at the death then came up trumps in the shootout to get his team over the line.
If Argentina are to keep their hands on the trophy, you'd imagine Martinez will need to be on top of his game again.
The charismatic keeper has been steady rather than spectacular so far at this World Cup but he should be busy in the showpiece and backing Martinez for over 2.5 saves pays 8/15.
Recommended bet
- Spain to lift trophy
- Lamine Yamal to be fouled over 1.5 times
- Enzo Fernandez to commit over 1.5 fouls
- Emiliano Martinez to make over 2.5 saves
- Bet builder – 4/1 (Bet365)
