BlockBeats News, July 19th. According to the prediction market platform Predict.fun, the 2026 World Cup final between the US, Canada, and Mexico will be contested between Spain and Argentina. As of the time of writing, the market gives Spain a winning probability of about 58% and Argentina a winning probability of about 41%. Traders overall are more optimistic about Spain lifting the World Cup trophy.

At 3:00 AM on July 20th, Beijing time, the 2026 World Cup final is about to kick off. As the two most outstanding teams in this tournament, Spain and Argentina will make their final push for the World Cup trophy. This is also the first time in history that the current European champion and current South American champion will meet in a World Cup final. The two teams have met 14 times in history, each winning 6 times and drawing 2 times. They have only met once in the World Cup, with Argentina defeating Spain 2-1 in the group stage of the 1966 World Cup.

Both teams have set multiple records in this World Cup. Spain has only conceded 1 goal in the first 7 matches. If they achieve a clean sheet in the final and win, they will set a new record for the fewest goals conceded in a single World Cup by a champion. Argentina, on the other hand, has won all seven matches, scoring 19 goals to advance to the final, and extending their unbeaten World Cup streak to 13 matches (11 wins, 2 draws). If they successfully defend their title, Argentina will become the third team in history, after Italy and Brazil, to achieve back-to-back World Cup victories.
