France Vs Sweden Preview
After making lightwork of Senegal, Iraq and Norway in Group I, the France vs Sweden odds strongly point to a Les Bleus victory at in New Jersey. Didier Deschamps side were one of only three nations to have qualified with a 100% win record and they are already striking fear into their opponents.
Victors in 2018 and narrow runners-up in Qatar four years bago, the French are looking extremely ominous. And from the Swedes perspective, they will need a large dollop of Lady Luck to advance to the Round of 16.
That’s not to say Graham Potter’s side don’t have the talent in the squad, but handling the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Michael Olise, Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue is a task that nobody in international football would fancy being tasked against.
France Vs Sweden H2H Record
Across the 23 previous France vs Sweden H2H match-ups, Les Bleus can boast 12 wins compared to the Scandinavians six victories. Interestingly, The Yellow and Blue’s are undefeated in clashes at major tournaments. In the 1992 Euros, the nations played out a 1-1 draw.
In the most recent meeting in 2012, Sweden ran out 2-0 victors – also at the Euros. On that occasion, a certain Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored a stunning volley before former Premier League hero Seb Larsson wrapped up the win late on. Which is something worth pondering when it comes to France vs Sweden betting.
France vs Sweden H2H record:
- France wins – 12
- Draws – 5
- Sweden wins – 6
France Vs Sweden Team News
Dayot Upamecano is set to partner William Saliba in the heart of the defense. The latter missed the Norway trouncing owing to a slight back issue but is expected to feature on Tuesday. Aurelien Tchouameni and Adrien Rabiot will anchor the midfield and Kylian Mbappe – naturally – will lead the attack.
Meanwhile, Sweden will be relying upon Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres up top. The Liverpool and Arsenal stars will have Newcastle’s Anthony Elanga to help supply the ammunition. Isak Hien will miss out through injury.

France Vs Sweden Prediction
Owing to their arsenal of superstar forwards and lethal attackers, we can’t see past a sizeable France win against Sweden in the 2026 World Cup Round of 32. Not only that, Les Bleus balanced midfield and classy backline reinforces their position as BetVictor’s World Cup betting favourites.
Although our France World Cup preview was tipping Didier Deschamps side to crash at the semis, that prediction may need to be revisited if they turn on the style against Graham Potter’s charges.
