How Spain go into the World Cup final

Spain have looked like the strongest team at World Cup 2026 from the opening round of fixtures. Luis de la Fuente’s side topped their group before eliminating Belgium and producing another composed display to defeat France in the semi-finals. They have controlled matches with the ball while allowing opponents very few clear-cut opportunities.

Lamine Yamal has emerged as one of the stars of the tournament, while Rodri has once again dictated the tempo from midfield. Pedri, Nico Williams and Mikel Oyarzabal have all played key roles, and Spain’s balanced attack has produced goals from every area of the pitch. Their defensive record has been equally impressive, which explains why they head the World Cup final odds.

How Argentina go into the World Cup final

Argentina once again leaned on Lionel Messi to inspire another run to the World Cup final. The reigning champions defeated England in the semi-finals after previously overcoming Algeria, Austria, Jordan, Cape Verde and Switzerland, proving once again that they know how to navigate the biggest occasions.

Messi heads into the final in outstanding form after scoring in every World Cup match so far, while Julian Alvarez has provided excellent support in attack. Enzo Fernandez continues to control midfield alongside Alexis Mac Allister, although Argentina have relied on Emiliano Martinez to produce several important saves during the knockout stages.

World Cup final team news

Spain should have a near full-strength squad available for Sunday’s final. Rodri will continue to anchor midfield alongside Pedri, while Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams provide width behind Mikel Oyarzabal. Luis de la Fuente has trusted a settled starting XI throughout the knockout rounds and is unlikely to change his winning formula.

Argentina also look set to remain unchanged following their victory over England. Lionel Messi captains the side alongside experienced defenders Cristian Romero and Lisandro Martinez, while Julian Alvarez should continue to lead the attack. Emiliano Martinez remains first choice in goal.

Prediction

The World Cup final odds (with Paddy Power) reflect what we’ve seen throughout the tournament. Spain have produced the highest level of football over seven matches and deserve favouritism, but writing off Argentina while Lionel Messi is leading the line would be a mistake. Sunday’s final has all the ingredients to become another World Cup classic.
