France vs Sweden: TV Channel, Kick-Off Time, and World Cup Round of 32 Details
France aims to extend their impressive group-stage run when they meet Sweden in the World Cup last-32 clash. The French team has looked formidable, winning all three group matches against Senegal, Iraq, and Norway, scoring at least three goals each game.
Kylian Mbappe, chasing the golden boot, has scored four goals so far and will look to add more against the Swedish side, who are seen as clear underdogs in this encounter. Graham Potter's Sweden advanced as one of the best third-placed teams but faces a tough task against Didier Deschamps’ squad. Deschamps recently returned to coaching after attending his mother's funeral.
