France v Sweden – Tuesday, 10pm

View all available markets at William Hill

• France are the only side in this tournament who, for me, have genuinely earned the praise of being one of the favourites to go all the way. They’ve won all three of their group games, scoring at least three goals in each, once again showcasing their frightening attacking power.
• The signs are promising for Les Bleus. This is the first time they’ve won all three group matches at a World Cup since 1998 — the year they lifted the trophy for the first time. Naturally, they’ll be dreaming that history might repeat itself.
• Didier Deschamps’ men have now scored two or more goals in fifteen of their last sixteen games in all competitions, but there is a slight vulnerability at the back, with seven of their last eight outings seeing them concede. Even so, William Hill make France the 1/4 favourites to win this inside 90 minutes.

• Sweden collected four points in Group F, enough to progress as one of the best third‑placed teams, but their reward is arguably the toughest assignment of the round of 32 as they chase a first World Cup last‑16 appearance since 2006.
• Graham Potter’s side will need a drastic improvement if they’re to upset the odds, and history doesn’t help their case — Sweden have lost four of their last five meetings with France, suggesting this may be a step too far.
• One thing we should get, though, is goals. Seven of Sweden’s last nine matches have produced at least four goals, a trend that points towards another lively contest. Punters who fancy Blågult to pull off the ultimate shock can back them at 17/2 with William Hill.

Bet Builder Hub:

• Player To Score 2 Or More – Kylian Mbappe – Kylian Mbappe has scored two or more goals in two of his three games at this World Cup.
• Total Goals – Over 3.5 – Seven of Sweden’s last nine matches have produced over 3.5 goals.
• Both Teams To Score – Yes – Sweden’s last nine matches saw both teams score.
