The model knows France are rolling behind Mbappe and Olivier Giroud and come off their first shutout in Qatar. Mbappe shares the World Cup lead with Messi on five goals, and Giroud has scored four. Les Bleus have piled up 92 shots in the six matches. They are in the World Cup final for the fourth time in the past seven tournaments. They knocked off Argentina 4-3 in the Round of 16 on their way to the 2018 title, getting two goals from Mbappe.
The model also has considered that Argentina has one of the best players on the planet in Messi and several young stars who are backing him. Julian Alvarez, 22, has seized a starting role alongside Messi and has four goals, while the 36-year-old captain has three assists in addition to his five tallies. Alexis Mac Allister, 23, also has made a name for himself with his hard work alongside Rodrigo De Paul, Enzo Fernandez and Leandro Paredes in midfield.
