Team News
After slightly rotating his side for their final group stage match against Norway, alongside substituting off a couple of key players during the second half, France head coach Didier Deschamps has a full squad to select from here.
As a result, expect star centre-back William Saliba to return to the starting XI for this round of 32 clash, as well as Adrien Rabiot in the midfield.
Unlike his opposite number, Sweden boss Graham Potter has a number of injury concerns to contend with ahead of this showdown with France.
The main problem for him lies in the heart of defence as Isak Hien has been ruled out of the rest of the tournament with a hamstring problem.
To make matters worse, fellow centre-back Victor Lindelöf is also facing a race against time in order to be fit enough to start here.
The stats
This will be the 24th meeting across all competitions between France and Sweden, though the first at the World Cup.
Les Bleus hold the upper hand among the previous results, winning 12 of those matches compared to Sweden's six.
Deschamps' side also hold a fantastic recent World Cup record against fellow European nations, winning each of their last six such matches.
No side in competition history has won seven in succession, but with the 2022 finalists having netted at least three goals in each of their last four World Cup matches, that record could be broken here.
Sweden have scored seven goals at this year's competition, their most ever in a single group round and have been eliminated in their first knockout tie only twice across seven previous occasions.

Prediction
So far at the 2026 World Cup France have arguably looked like the competition's strongest side, winning each of their group stage matches and netting 10 goals in the process.
That makes them the tournament’s joint top scorers and if their attacking lineup can get firing early again here, they should easily reach the round of 16.
On top of that, Sweden shipped five goals when facing their toughest opponent in Group F in the form of the Netherlands.
However, the Swedes scored seven times in the group phase and may well be able to get on the scoresheet in New Jersey.
