World Cup Final Tips 🐐 vs 🇫🇷

Welcome back! 👋, It's been a pretty interesting World Cup so far and we expect nothing less for the final on Sunday. We hope you enjoy the fifth episode of The Weekly Wager. We've got another preview for you and the best price boosts available at the time of writing!

Talking about the final, the bookmakers were having a pretty hard time splitting Argentina and France. At the time of writing however it seems Argentina are coming in slightly as favourites and by the looks of the Poll Charlie and Myself did, it looks like the people have it that way too👇

Price Boosts 🔥

• Messi and Mbappe to have a shot on target each @ 2.0 (was 1.50) Sky

• Mbappe and Messi to combine for 4 or more shots on target @ 5.0 (fair odds 3.25) PaddyPower

• Messi and Mbappe to have 2 shots on target each @ 8.0 (was 5.50) PaddyPower

• Messi over 1.5 shots on target & Mbappe O0.5 @ 4.0 (was 2.75) Betfair

(Seems like all the books want to do Messi and Mbappe price boosts this week. Nether the less, I'll show you all the best ones. The website is going through some changes this week hence I'm listing all the bookies direct in the newsletter for this edition.)

P.s: It's worth checking out B365 on the day of the game. They usually have a very good super boost.

World Cup Final Preview: Argentina v France (Sunday, 18 Dec 2022, 15:00)

Our Expert: Scott Thornton (@Scottythorn21)

The World Cup final is upon us and it promises to be a cracker. France are bidding to become the first team to retain the World Cup since Brazil in 1962.

The bookmakers are struggling to split these sides and it promises to be close from start to finish. Both sets of players will be keen to dive in and make their mark on the game.

France are averaging 19.83 tackles per game in Qatar. They have hit 20 tackles per game in 4 of their 6 matches. The games against Poland and England are the only time they didn’t reach this mark. They made 21 tackles in their last game against Morocco.

Argentina’s opponents are averaging 15.33 tackles per game this tournament. However, expect Messi to be rampant when dribbling with the ball in what is the most important game of his illustrious career. Croatia managed 18 tackles against Scaloni’s side in their last match. France had 20 tackles when they last played Argentina.

These teams played in the last 16 at the last World Cup. France won 4-3 and there were 36 tackles in the match.

World Cup finals also average a lot of tackles. Only 2 of the 10 sides involved in the last 5 finals have failed to make 18 tackles in 90 minutes. They both had 17.

👉 Best Bets:

- Over 17.5 Tackles For France @ 1.90 Bet 365

Macca here 👋, other than the price boosts and Scott's preview bet above, the only other thing I'm on is some player cards as discussed on Twitter earlier this week with @JimmyThePunt & @lucasaugustasen.Slightly shortened however they still represent value imo:

👉 Longshots: - Messi Card @ 7.5

-Mbappe Card @ 7.5

-Double @ 56.0

That's it from us. We hope you enjoyed the fifth edition. There has been a huge amount of support and we've had a tonne of emails (I'll look over them this weekend).

We've got to make the decision of wether to continue this after the World Cup. The team will have a discussion about it however it'll probably be a yes considering the messages we've recieved.

As always, feel free to reach out and reply to this email! We enjoyed some of you sending your bet slips over last week 💙
