Argentina vs Spain Prediction, Bet Builder Tips, Stats & Free Bet Offer For New Customers of LiveScore Bet

We're predicting Lionel Messi to score or assist at 21/20. Lionel Messi has 12 goal involvements at this World Cup and set up both of Argentina's strikes in the semi-final win over England. Even Spain's miserly defence will struggle to keep him quiet. We're also predicting Spain to win at 59/50. Spain are unbeaten in 37 matches (excluding penalty shootouts) and shut down France in impressive fashion to reach the final. Argentina's route through has been chaotic and their luck is likely to run out. We've also compiled two bet builders at odds of 9/1 and 8.50/1.
