U-20 World Cup Final: Argentina Face Morocco in Record-Breaking Clash

Argentina U-20 Hunts For Seventh World Cup
Argentina U-20 already holds the record for the most World Cups with six titles, and they are primed to extend that record with a win against The Atlas Lions.
While the African side is not to be taken lightly after beating several teams as the underdog, Argentina has been operating on an entirely different level after winning all knockout games without conceding a goal. It's going to be a tough game to call, but our experts might have cracked it in our Argentina U-20 vs Morocco U-20 prediction.
What's more, Argentina has now won 13 games in a row and has only tasted defeat once in its last 28 games. In this tournament alone, the South American giants also boast of three players in the top-8 for most goals, while midfielder Dylan Gorosito has the most assists (3).
However, it'll be anything but a walk in the park for La Albiceleste against a dogged Morocco side that's hunting for its first title. Morocco has already shown their ability to slay giants after beating Spain, Brazil, France, and the USA.
Can Morocco U-20 Win Their First World Cup Trophy
What started as a dream for the Morocco U-20 side might soon become a reality as all that's separating them from a World Cup is one win. However, this might be potentially the most difficult final matchup they could have gotten as they face Argentina, the tournament's best in history and best in this edition.
Still, the African nation will go in with the confidence of champions, especially after beating Spain (2-0) and Brazil (2-1) as the heavy underdogs in the group stage. The Atlas Lions then backed up those wins with a 3-1 win over the USA and a penalty shootout victory against France in the semifinals.
Morocco hasn't been as outstanding as La Albiceleste on paper. But given the names they laid waste to in their final run and the pressure to lift their first-ever World Cup, it'll surprise only a few if they emerge victorious on Monday.
