France vs Sweden Preview
Recent results
France made it three wins from three at World Cup 2026 with a convincing 4-1 victory over Norway last Friday, in which Dembele netted a hat-trick. Les Bleus had previously beaten Senegal (3-1) and Iraq (3-0), and look firmly on course for a shot at the trophy.
Sweden earned a credible 1-1 draw with Japan in their final group match, a welcome response to the 5-1 thrashing dished out by the Netherlands – which ironically came after a 5-1 win over Tunisia.
Head-to-head record
France and Sweden have met 23 times, with Les Bleus winning 12 of those games (including each of the last two) and the Swedes claiming six victories.
The previous clash at a major tournament saw Sweden win 2-0 in the Euro 2012 group stage.
Team news
William Saliba and Marcus Thuram are the injury doubts for France, but Deschamps still has plenty of high-quality options at his disposal.
Key Sweden defender Isak Hein suffered a tournament-ending injury in the draw with Japan, which is quite a significant blow for Graham Potter. However, the rest of the squad should be available to the manager.
France vs Sweden Odds
*All odds are subject to change
France are huge favourites ahead of kick-off here, priced as low as 1.24 to claim the victory. A win for Sweden is at long odds of 9.80, while the draw after 90 minutes is 5.90.
France vs Sweden Betting Tips
Anytime goalscorer – Ousmane Dembele @ 2.11
Mbappe is priced as low as 1.60 in this market, so backing Dembele is a welcome route to higher profit. The PSG star is fresh from a stunning hat-trick vs Norway, and also scored in the win over Iraq. Over to you, Ousmane.
Kylian Mbappe to have over 2.5 shots on target @ 2.47
When it comes to SOT markets, few players – if any – are more appealing than Mbappe. The France skipper has already tallied nine SOT at this tournament, an average of three per appearance. With Sweden failing to keep a clean sheet in their last 14 games, Les Bleus’ talisman should be a constant threat.
Player to score or assist – Michael Olise @ 1.62
Olise is yet to score at World Cup 2026, but he has still been a standout performer at the tournament thus far. The Bayern Munich winger is on three assists, and looks menacing every single time he picks up the ball. With Mbappe and Dembele ahead of him, Olise can record yet another contribution on the international stage.
