Superstars Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe are drawing most of the attention, but there will be loads of talent on the pitch in Sunday’s 2022 FIFA World Cup final. The Argentina vs. France showdown is highly anticipated and expected to be a tight one, so the best approach for bettors might be to dig into the many World Cup props available. The match includes the top four goal-scorers in the tournament, with Argentina’s Julian Alvarez and France’s Olivier Giroud sitting on four behind Messi and Mbappe, who have five apiece. You can bet on any of them to score a goal, with Messi the most likely to get on the board, as he is priced at +170 at Caesars Sportsbook, just ahead of Mbappe (+188). The stars draw the wagers, but France’s Aurelien Tchouameni (+1400) and Argentina’s Nahuel Molina (+2000) also have World Cup goals.
Kickoff on Sunday is set for 10 a.m. ET. Caesars Sportsbook lists Argentina as slight +160 favorites (risk $100 to win $160) on the 90-minute money line, with France priced at +185 and a draw listed at +205. You can also cash in at plus-money on many World Cup props, including correct score, timing of goals and first- and second-half props, among many others.

Top 2022 FIFA World Cup final prop picks
Eimer is backing Messi as one of his World Cup picks, taking the Argentina legend +170 as an Anytime Goal Scorer. The 35-year-old, who is second all-time in goals behind Cristiano Ronaldo, is likely playing his final World Cup and aims to cap his legendary career with his first title. He has scored in five of the six matches, giving him 11 goals in 25 World Cup games. Messi has scored 15 times in Argentina’s past 10 in all competitions. He also is the team’s ace penalty taker.
Messi’s quick feet make him tough to deal with in the box, and he often draws fouls. He has scored 22 goals in 2022, and eight have come on penalties. Eimer expects this to be a “chippy and physical game” and Messi could get a spot kick. Even if he doesn’t, Messi remains one of Argentina’s top threats. Les Bleus could turn a lot of attention to Julian Alverez, who scored twice in the semifinal. France’s 2-0 semifinal victory was their first clean sheet in seven games.
