After 103 games, plenty of drama and more than a few controversies, the 2026 World Cup comes to a climax tonight as Spain take on Argentina in the showpiece.
The Argentines have put up a valiant defence of the trophy they won in Qatar four years ago and won't give it up without one hell of a fight.
But they face a Spain side on an incredible 37-game unbeaten run and the kings of Europe will now be looking to conquer the world.
Spain vs Argentina top betting tips
It looked like Spain might struggle at these finals when they kicked off with a 0-0 draw against Cape Verde but they've improved with every game and eased to a 2-0 win over favourites France in the semis.
Keeper Unai Simon has conceded just one goal across the entire tournament so it's not a big surprise to see La Roja as odds-on favourites to lift the trophy on the World Cup betting apps.
Argentina have relied on spirit and the ageing limbs of Lionel Messi to get them this far but I've a feeling it will be a bridge too far for the defending champions. So backing Spain for a win inside 90 minutes could pay off at 5/4.
A big feature of Argentina's semi-final win over England was how many fouls their midfield committed, especially during the first 15 minutes.
So backing fouls in the engine room looks like a good bet for the final as they bid to knock Rodri and Fabian Ruiz out of their stride.
Combining over 1.5 fouls for Enzo Fernandez and Leandro Paredes pays 17/10 at Bet365, while adding Alexis Mac Allister to the mix takes the price to 16/5.
Elfsborg vs Sirius
There's some action in Sweden's top flight before the World Cup Final gets underway and surprise leaders Sirius are on the road in Elfsborg.
Sirius are showing no signs of slipping up and remain unbeaten after 12 games, with 10 of those matches ending in victories.
They now face an Elfsborg side who have tumbled down the table after going six games without a victory.
They've lost their last two so Sirius look decent value for another win at 24/25 with Bet365.
Scots striker Robbie Ure is in sensational form for the leaders, with 12 goals in 12 games, and backing him for antyime scorer paid off for me in their last game with Brommapojkarna.
He was just under evens for a goal in that match but his odds are a little better today as backing him to score will double your money.
Hammarby vs Degerfors
Hammarby are the closest challengers to Sirius but already find themselves nine points adrift, having played a game more into the bargain.
So they can't afford to drop any more points when struggling Degerfors come calling this afternoon.
Degerfors have won just twice in the league all season and have gone eight games without tasting victory. They've lost their last two so look worthy 10/1 outsiders today.
A run of three successive defeats saw Hammarby lose ground in the title race but they have recovered by winning their last two matches.
The title chasers kept a clean sheet in their last home game against Kalmar and another win to nil today pays 21/20 with Bet365.
None of the last three meetings have hit double figures for corners so backing under 10 flag kicks could pay off at 6/5.

🇸🇪 Norrkoeping 3-0 Sandvikens
🇪🇪 Kuressaare 0-0 Nomme Kalju
They’ve had their number for a long time Damian on the h2h’s and Kuressaare had lost three in a row before the game with Kalju, who themselves had looked like they had picked back up their own form recently 😩
Fair enough I just try not looking at h2h as like investing pass performance doesn’t relate to future performance,just annoyed for you as they were utter dross🤢
