Argentina U20 vs Morocco U20 Prediction and Betting Tips

Argentina U20 will face Morocco U20 at the Nacional Julio Martinez Pradanos on Sunday in the 2025 FIFA U20 World Cup final. Argentina have been brilliant on the global stage over the past few weeks, winning every game so far in regular time and are one victory away from their first U20 World Cup title since 2007.

After beating Nigeria and Mexico in their first two knockout stage games, Argentina locked horns with Colombia U20 in the semifinals on Wednesday and won 1-0 with Inter Miami winger Mateo Silvetti coming off the bench to score for a third game running.

Morocco U20 are participating in their first FIFA U20 World Cup since 2005 but have made their return to the global stage a memorable one, exceeding expectations at every turn to book a spot in the final.

They traded tackles with France U20 in the final four last time out, profiting from an own goal to take a one-goal lead at the break before their opponents equalized in the second-half. With the scores level at 1-1 after extra time, the contest went on to penalties which the Atlas Lions won thanks to a crucial save from third-choice goalkeeper Abdelhakim El Mesbahi.
