FIFA World Cup Match Predictions: Who is given a chance to lift the trophy?
Argentina played in the final against France four years ago. The South American nation lifted the trophy in Qatar after beating France in a penalty shootout. Argentina is back again in the tournament as the title holders. And they are back again to try to win for a consecutive time.
However, both France and Spain have a chance to lift the trophy in the United States by the end of the tournament.
Is squad market value a determining factor?
Both teams have the best squads and higher-level technicians on their benches. According to Transfer Market, France’s squad market value is about €1.52 billion. Spain is third in this aspect with a squad market value of €1.22 billion. However, England should not be underrated as they have a squad value of €1.36 billion.
However, squad market value is not the only determining factor for a team to secure the trophy; other factors should also be taken into consideration. Other factors such as team routes to the final, squad competitiveness, squad determination, experience and exposure to a higher competitive level are all taken into consideration.
Both Spain and France are predicted to win the FIFA World Cup according to the Opta Supercomputer analysis. But the odds are in Spain’s favour, as they are given 16.1% of the 25,000 pre-tournament simulations by the Supercomputer.
Apart from Spain, France has 13%, England 11.2% and title holders Argentina have 10.4% of the simulations to lift the trophy.
