Press review: France v Sweden, Les Bleus expected, line-ups | OneFootball

This Tuesday, June 30, the French press (from a sporting perspective) had nothing to focus on regarding Paris Saint-Germain. The main story is France’s national team’s World Cup round of 16 tonight at 11 p.m. against Sweden, including the probable lineups in particular.

Of course, France goes into this match as the favorite. A defeat would be a major failure, both because of an elimination far too early compared with the objective of going all the way and because the opponent is normally within its reach. However, Sweden also deserves respect, as it has some real qualities and will fight to stay in this World Cup.

We should have a great match, even if Sweden’s games in this World Cup have often alternated between high tempo and a tight, closed style of play. It will be up to Les Bleus to find the right formula to avoid the trap, especially against the Scandinavian attacking weapons that could do damage. But it should be possible to break through their defense. France looks more complete on paper; now it just has to avoid slipping up.
