France takes on the visitors Argentina at “Kazan Arena” in a clash of the 1/8 final stage of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia. The game will be played in Kazan on Saturday, June 30th.
France hasn’t shown sophisticated football at the group stage, however, it didn’t prevent the team from achieving the desired results. Unlike the Argentine, Didier Deschamps’ side promoted from its group in a very confident manner, having conceded only one goal. “Les Bleus” look to be more well-balanced team that it was in the UEFA EURO 2016. Some players have become more mature while some new faces appeared in the squad plus it can be seen that Didier Deschamps did a great job. The French analyzed their past mistakes and made the proper conclusions. “Les Bleus” are tactically stronger than their upcoming opponents in all the aspects. The French don’t use high pressing which is good as they will get the Argentine to their own half field and conduct counter attacks through free side lines. The hosts’ defense looks awesome as it allowed the opponents to make only five shots on target so far.

Meanwhile, Argentina has qualified to the 1/8 final stage by miracle. The team has gained only one triumph at this Mundial. Moreover, the side was also lucky to appear in the final round of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia. The Argentines have won only two out of last eight official clashes played although they had been motivated for each of those battles. Besides, “La Albiceleste” has scored only two goals in those fights. In addition, Argentina was smashed by Spain 1:6 and Nigeria 2:4 in two friendly encounters. These are horrible results and they came out of miserable tea’s performance. The side doesn’t play football, it suffers as Jorge Sampaoli’s tactics doesn’t work. The defenders have no options for the attacks development, thus, they are forced to pass to the goalkeeper with the offense is only passing to Lionel Messi and stays aside.
France is a sustainable and consistent side, having lost only one out of last 20 official tackles. In its turn, Argentina reminds a car which can drive fast but due to wrong usage is getting stuck all the time. Nigeria was not lucky and cold-blooded enough to send “La Albiceleste” home. Thus, it looks like the French will cope with the executor role as they are more qualified and stable.
Prediction for the match: France to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
