What happened: France and Sweden are set to meet at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey in a FIFA World Cup Round of 32 knockout tie, kicking off at 6 p.m. Brasília time. France field a strong side with Maignan in goal behind Koundé, Upamecano, Saliba and Digne, Tchouaméni and Rabiot in midfield, and Dembélé, Olise and Barcola supporting Mbappé. Sweden counter with Zetterström, a back line of Lagerbielke, Lindelöf and Gudmundsson, and an attack featuring Elanga, Gyökeres and Isak.
Why it matters: France enter as the reigning World Cup runners-up and topped their group with a perfect record, while Sweden reached the knockout stage as one of the eight best third-place finishers after collecting four points in Group F. Head coach Didier Deschamps returns to the touchline after attending his mother's funeral, with Saliba and Digne both back in the XI. The winner is in line to face Paraguay, who eliminated Germany, in the Round of 16.
By the numbers: France are 3-0 this season, scoring 3.3 goals per game and conceding just 0.7, with a recent 4-1 result at Norway. Sweden sit at 1-2 on the season, averaging 2.3 goals scored and 2.3 allowed. Sweden advanced ahead of the Netherlands and Japan in Group F; Graham Potter is without center-back Isak Hien, ruled out with a left hamstring injury. Dutch referee Danny Makkelie takes charge.
What to watch: Watch whether France's high-scoring attack can break down a Sweden side leaning on Gyökeres and Isak, and how Potter reshapes his defense without Hien.
