MetLife Stadium in New Jersey sets the stage for the 2026 World Cup Round of 32 clash between France and Sweden on Tuesday night. Matches involving Les Bleus and Blagult in this competition have produced 26 goals in total, which leads us to lean toward a high-scoring outcome here in our match prediction.
France has fully lived up to expectations at the World Cup so far this year, having come through the group stage with flying colours, capped off with a 4-1 victory over Norway on Friday. Champions in 2018 and runners-up in Qatar four years ago, Didier Deschamps' side looks set for another deep run on football’s grandest stage here in North America.
Sweden were drawn into one of the toughest groups in this tournament and stamped their ticket to the knockout stage as the best third-placed team in the competition after a thrilling 1-1 draw against Japan. Graham Potter has acknowledged that his side are massive underdogs in this clash - but can they pull off what would be the biggest shock of the RO32? Let’s get into the key stats!

France - Sweden: Form Analysis
France looked a class above the rest of their opponents in Group I, as they clinched top spot with a perfect record of three wins from three games, beating Senegal 3-1, Iraq 3-0, and Norway 4-1.
Along with the Netherlands and Germany, Les Bleus ended the group stages as the joint-top scoring team with 10 goals. However, their result against Iraq was the only clean sheet they’ve kept in their last eight matches.
The 2018 world champions have now won 12 of their last 14 matches across all competitions (D1 L1). Their only defeat in this period came against the Ivory Coast in a friendly leading up to this tournament.
France have scored two or more goals in 14 of their last 15 matches across all competitions!
Meanwhile, Sweden won their opening match 5-1 against Tunisia, then lost by the same scoreline to the Netherlands in match two, before holding Japan to a 1-1 draw in their final fixture.
Despite ending with a goal difference of zero (0), Blagult finished as the highest-ranked third-placed team from the group stage, thanks to their four-point tally and scoring seven goals.
The Blue and Yellows have only won three of their last 10 matches in all competitions (D3 L4), and have not kept a clean sheet in over a year since beating Hungary 2-0 in a friendly on June 6, 2025.

France & Sweden Squad Analysis
Ousmane Dembele was the star of the show for France against Norway. The PSG forward became just the sixth player in World Cup history to score a first-half hat-trick and the first to do so since 1994.
Kylian Mbappe was unable to add to his four-goal tally in this competition in the last match, but he picked up two assists and is now just the third player to record 20+ World Cup goal contributions after Lionel Messi and Miroslav Klose.
France have no injury concerns for their RO32 clash against Sweden!
Unfortunately, Blagult cannot say the same, as Atalanta centre-back Isak Hien sustained a hamstring tear in their match against Japan, and has now been ruled out of the remainder of this World Cup.
Anthony Elanga was the standout performer for Potter’s side in the last two matches, having scored their consolation against the Dutch before netting the crucial equaliser against Japan that secured them a spot in the knockout stage.
