Come on y'all - this is France we're talking about. Sweden's defense has been swiss cheese so far this competition and I can't see a world where they can stop the front line of Mbappe, Dembele and Olise from scoring goals. Sweden will have to press to stay in this game and rely on Gyokeres and Isak to find the back of the net, and most likely multiple times. I do love BTTS for this match, but I expect France to overwhelm them and run up the score!

I’m taking France on the goal line today because I firmly believe they control how much they want to win by. We’ve seen the matador defense from this Swedish national team, and France have the ability to score three or four goals if they want. Sweden have been disjointed, easy to pass through, and I think the likes of Michael Olise, Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé can break them down. If France don’t start slow, I think you can even play the alt lines at -2.5 and -3.5 because 4-0 a possible.

France has been the best team in this competition, and I think they'll make a statement with a convincing victory in this one. Kylian Mbappe draws all the headlines, but the French have a plethora of attacking options to lean on. Ousmane Dembélé scored a hat trick in France's 4-1 victory over Norway, and Michael Olise continues to prove why he's one of the best young talents in the game. The Swedes lost 5-1 to the Netherlands in the group stage, and I'm expecting France to record an easy win on Tuesday.

Sweden began their group stage campaign with a 5-1 win against Tunisia, but they then lost 5-1 to the Netherlands. A 1-1 draw with Japan means they conceded seven games in three group stage games. That doesn't bode well for their chances of containing a world-class French attack. France are the World Cup favorites, and they scored 3+ goals in all of their group stage matches, so Les Bleus could run riot against this leaky Swedish defense.
