Spain managed to nullify France’s fearsome attack and their success at this World Cup has been built on clean sheets. Spain could be forced into a defensive change as right-back Pedro Porro is an injury doubt, but even if he is ruled out they have enough quality at the back to keep Argentina quiet.
A 2-0 win for Spain seems a reasonable correct score prediction as they’ve scored eight goals in their four knockout games, while Argentina conceded twice against both Cape Verde and Egypt and have gone five games without a clean sheet.
With Messi pulling the strings Argentina will create openings but Spain have the ability to dominate possession and they can limit his involvement. England were doing a fairly good job of keeping Messi quiet until they changed their system, and Spain are unlikely to make such a naive tactical misstep.
Mikel Oyarzabal is Spain’s top scorer with five goals and he scored from the penalty spot in the win over France. Oyarzabal should be on spot kick duties again and he looks the standout candidate for an anytime effort in the final.
