France's formidable forward line is set to face Sweden in a World Cup last-32 tie. Other key matches include Norway against Ivory Coast and Mexico against Ecuador.
France unleash their devastating forward line on Sweden in a last-32 tie at the World Cup on Tuesday, while Erling Haaland will try to fire Norway past the Ivory Coast and into the next round.
Co-hosts Mexico, meanwhile, bid to continue their journey in front of a fervent crowd at the Estadio Azteca when they take on Ecuador.
The Swedish defence is bracing themselves to face not only Kylian Mbappe, who has scored four times already in this tournament, but also Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembele, who notched a hat-trick in a 4-1 win against Norway in the group stage.
Completing the French trio, Michael Olise’s runs at defenders have been creating havoc.
With attacking swagger and midfield flair, France appear well placed to reach their third final in as many World Cups.
The only question mark might be their defence – and Sweden have their own high-profile forward line who will try to unlock it, although Premier League duo Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres have not fully fired yet at this tournament.
