France vs Sweden – Best bets of the match
France vs Sweden Preview
France have been devastating in this tournament, topping Group I with three consecutive victories and a remarkable goal difference of plus eight. Ousmane Dembélé's hat-trick against Norway capped a 4-1 demolition, while Kylian Mbappé and Michael Olise continue to terrorise defences. Didier Deschamps is reportedly absent for personal reasons, which adds a layer of uncertainty, but the squad's depth and momentum remain formidable heading into the knockout rounds.
Sweden's path to the last 32 was far rockier, qualifying as one of the best third-placed sides from Group F. A thrilling 5-1 rout of Tunisia showcased their attacking threat through Viktor Gyökeres and Alexander Isak, yet a 5-1 hammering by the Netherlands exposed serious defensive frailties. Graham Potter's men drew 1-1 with Japan to scrape through, and assistant coach Sebastian Larsson insists they have nothing to lose as underdogs.
France's attacking firepower makes a home win at 1.29 the standout selection. Les Bleus scored ten goals across three group matches, with Ousmane Dembélé's hat-trick against Norway underlining the depth of quality at Didier Deschamps' disposal. Kylian Mbappé and Michael Olise provide further menace, and this side has conceded just twice in the tournament so far.
Sweden's form offers little cause for optimism. One win, two draws and two defeats from their last five outings paint a picture of inconsistency. That solitary group victory, a 5-1 demolition of Tunisia, was sandwiched between a humbling 5-1 loss to the Netherlands and a draw with Japan. Defensive fragility is a genuine concern against France's frontline.
Over 2.5 goals at 1.50 also carries strong appeal. France averaged over three goals per match in the group stage, while Sweden's fixtures produced an average north of four. With both teams to score priced at 2.00, there is further value given Sweden's willingness to attack through Viktor Gyökeres and Alexander Isak, even if the likely outcome favours France.
