France take on Sweden in the World Cup round of 32 tonight, with kick-off at 10pm BST on Tuesday, June 30 at the New York/New Jersey Stadium. The match will be shown live and free on ITV1 across the UK, and on STV in Scotland. Live streaming is available via ITVX or STV Player.
France's Dominant Group Stage
Didier Deschamps' side have been one of the standout teams of the tournament, winning all three group matches against Senegal, Iraq, and Norway, scoring at least three goals in each game. Kylian Mbappe has already netted four times and will look to continue his fine form. Deschamps returns to the touchline after briefly returning to France following the death of his mother.
Sweden's Path to Knockouts
Sweden, managed by former Swansea City and Chelsea boss Graham Potter, advanced as one of the best third-placed teams. They face a huge task against one of the pre-tournament favourites.
Team News
William Saliba is expected to return to France's starting line-up after being rested for the win over Norway due to a minor back issue. For Sweden, Isak Hien is a concern, with Victor Lindelof likely to move into central defence if Hien is unavailable.
What Happens Next
The winners will face Paraguay in the last 16 after they stunned Germany in a penalty shootout. That match will be played on Saturday, July 4, in Philadelphia.
