France v Sweden Live Stream

France begin their World Cup knockout campaign in fitting fashion, with their first round of 32 tie taking place at the very venue that will host the final on 19 July.
Les Bleus swept through Group I with maximum points, with Senegal, Iraq and Norway all unable to truly test Didier Deschamps’ side.
Norway rested several starters for their meeting, but a 4-1 win for France still capped off a perfect group campaign in which they scored ten goals and conceded just twice.
Ousmane Dembele’s hat-trick that night proved France have firepower well beyond Kylian Mbappe alone.
William Saliba was rested for that Norway game with a back issue but is expected to return to the heart of the defence alongside Dayot Upamecano.
Aurelien Tchouameni and Adrien Rabiot continue as the midfield double pivot, with Mbappe hoping to add to his tournament tally supported by Michael Olise, Dembele and Desire Doue in attack.
France’s path to the final looks challenging on paper, with Germany potentially waiting in the round of 16, the Netherlands or Morocco in the quarter final and Spain possibly in the semi final.
Deschamps has already confirmed he will step down after the tournament, adding extra motivation for one final push with this golden generation.
Sweden go into this tie having scraped through as one of the eight best third-placed teams, finishing their group with four points from a win over Tunisia, a 5-1 defeat to the Netherlands and a 1-1 draw with Japan in their final group game.
Graham Potter’s side scored seven and conceded seven across their three group games, and while they were fortunate to only concede once against Japan, those defensive issues remain a concern heading into a tie against France’s attacking talent.
Sweden failed to win any of their qualifying fixtures for this tournament, so their inconsistency is far from a new problem.
Anthony Elanga scored a stunning effort from range against Japan and offers real pace on the counter, while Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres continue up front.
Victor Lindelof may have to drop into defence after Isak Hien’s injury, with Lucas Bergvall expected to start in midfield alongside Yasin Ayari.
Sweden must avoid a fifth defeat in their last six meetings with France, though three of their last four losses against Les Bleus have come by just a single goal, suggesting they are capable of making this competitive if their defence holds firm.
