What’s at Stake and What Comes Next?

France will be hoping to continue their dominant run after strong group-stage performances against Senegal, Iraq, and Norway, where they scored three or more goals each time. Kylian Mbappe, chasing the golden boot, has already bagged four goals in the group stage and will look to add more against Sweden.

Sweden, coached by Graham Potter, advanced as one of the best third-placed teams and face a tough challenge to upset Didier Deschamps’ side. Deschamps returned briefly to France due to his mother’s funeral but will be back on the sidelines for this crucial clash.

The winner will move on to meet the victor of the Germany vs Paraguay match, scheduled for Saturday, 4 July, in Philadelphia.

Team Updates

William Saliba missed the last group game against Norway because of a back problem but should return to the starting lineup against Sweden. On Sweden’s side, Isak Hien remains the only injury doubt. Victor Lindelof is expected to shift from midfield back to defense in his place.
