On 19 July 2026, we compare eight performance statistics of both teams in this tournament ahead of the 2026 World Cup final between Spain and Argentina, which will be played tonight at 02:00 on 20 July Thai time.
This game truly pairs two worthy opponents, with Spain, Euro 2024 champions, facing Argentina, South American champions of Copa América 2024. They missed meeting earlier in the 2026 Finalissima in Qatar last March due to the Middle East conflict.
Argentina shows slightly better attacking efficiency, having scored 19 goals in the 2026 World Cup—second only to England and France, who both netted 20 goals in a thrilling 6-4 third-place match. Despite fewer shooting chances than Spain, the "Albiceleste" have more shots on target.
However, Spain looks stronger defensively, conceding only one goal throughout the tournament and keeping six clean sheets in seven matches. In contrast, Argentina has conceded seven goals and managed just two clean sheets.
Comparing passing accuracy, both teams are equal at 91% (Spain completed 4,156 of 4,592 passes; Argentina completed 4,324 of 4,772 passes).
