Moving into the final round of Group A, France ended their match against New Zealand with a 0-0 draw in the group stage, scoring seven goals in three matches and allowing no points to advance to the top of the group.
Despite feeling a tinge of gratitude for the weakening of their opponents in the group stage, France's solid defensive performance should not be underestimated, and it is clear that the team has exemplary interplay between its stars.
From an objective point of view, the individual ability of France's players is clearly superior to that of Argentina. I predict that France will rely on the strength and skill of their players to overwhelm their opponents, with the return of Narcassidi from suspension expected to be the team's deadliest hitter.
Argentina advanced to the last eight of Group B after beating Ukraine 2-0 in their last round match.
Despite the ups and downs of the group stage, Argentina has always inspired an amazing fighting spirit whenever they faced a critical moment to advance.
Argentina will face a new challenge in this upcoming matchup, so they will have to capitalize on their chances to turn goals into victories. In this context, I strongly believe that Tiago Almeida will be the key for the team, as he will join the Brasileirao for a record transfer fee and his ability to rewrite the game should not be underestimated.
Overall, the difference between the two teams is obvious, with France expected to easily beat Argentina in the 90-minute match and advance into the top four.
