France continue their bid for a third star on their jersey, as they take on Sweden in the World Cup 2026 round of 32.

France, favourites to go all the way in North America, are naturally expected to get past an inconsistent Sweden in New Jersey, but the last 32 has already thrown up shocks. One such upset saw Paraguay eliminate Germany on penalties, and so it will be the South American side who await today’s winners.

France enter the game having comfortably overcome Senegal, Iraq and Norway, with Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele shining along the way. And although key defender William Saliba was rested against Norway due to a back issue, he is expected to return here.

Meanwhile, Sweden’s opening 5-1 win over Tunisia gave way to a 5-1 loss to Netherlands in a curious turn of events, before a draw with Japan got Graham Potter’s side safely through to the knockouts.
