Free-scoring France face Sweden in a mouthwatering Round of 32 clash at the World Cup.
Les Bleus were in scintillating form as they romped to group wins over Senegal, Iran and Norway.
Kylian Mbappe is already up to four goals for the tournament for the 2022 finalists. Ousmane Dembele scored a hat-trick last time out.
Sweden have been involved in action-packed games since landing in North America. Their 5-1 win over Tunisia was followed by defeat by the same margin against the Netherlands. Anthony Elanga's stunning goal in a 1-1 draw with Japan sealed their passage to the knockouts.
