General match analysis
Typ 1X2 after 90 minutes: 1. The final pits the most controlling team of the tournament against the most effective and mentally resilient. Spain conceded only one goal, limits the central zone very well and is able to keep the opponent far from their own penalty area without having to push the pace. Argentina scored the most goals and has exceptional quality at the end, but in several matches she needed to increase the risk only after the break, and against England she did not create an advantage corresponding to the final result for a long time. Spain has an extra day of rest and the way she plays should limit the number of open passages that Argentina benefits from the most. The most likely outcome is a very tight one: a draw at half-time, few clear situations and one goal Spain after the change of ends. Our prediction is 41% for Spain, 33% for draw and 26% for Argentina. The most likely exact score is 1-0. Winner after full determination: Spain (58% vs 42%). Status: SMALL BET

Typ BTTS: no. The final pits the most controlling team of the tournament against the most effective and mentally resilient.

Argentina scored the most goals and has exceptional quality at the end, but in several matches she needed to increase the risk only after the break, and against England she did not create an advantage corresponding to the final result for a long time.

The most likely outcome is a very tight one: a draw at half-time, few clear situations and one goal Spain after the change of ends. Spain should limit the number of quick transitions, and in the final both sides will be very careful when securing the central zone. The model gives 42% on BTTS Yes and 58% on BTTS No. Expected goals: Spain 1.20, Argentina 0.80. Status: SMALL BET
