Experts' forecast for the match between France and Sweden

The playoffs of the World Cup will present another poster with the participation of one of the main favorites of the tournament - the French national team will meet with Sweden. The French cruised through the group stage flawlessly, while the Swedes made it to the knockout stages from second place. At stake is a ticket to the 1/8 finals, and the team of Didier Deschamps is considered the undisputed favorite of the meeting. France finished the group stage with a 100% result, gaining nine points. Didier Deschamps' men scored at least three goals in every match, confirming their status as one of the strongest attacking teams in the tournament. In addition, the French have an impressive record in World Cup play-offs and come into this match on the back of a run of victories over European opposition at World Cups. Sweden also showed good football in the group stage, but the crushing defeat by the Netherlands showed that it is not easy for the team to compete with the top teams. Despite this, the Swedes were quite active in the attack and surpassed their performance indicators of the previous world championships. At the same time, the history of face-to-face meetings with world football greats at the World Cup is not going well for the Scandinavians. France will probably take the initiative from the first minutes and try to quickly decide the fate of the match. Sweden will rely on disciplined defense and counter-attacks, but the class of the French side looks to be enough to secure a place in the next round.
