In the latest edition of the FIFA rankings, France sits atop the entire leaderboard at No. 1. Les Bleus made it to the Final back in 2022 before falling short to Argentina, and they’re clearly back with a vengeance today. They went 3-0-0 through Group I play for a perfect nine points, beating Senegal, Iraq and Norway in the process. All three matches ended with a multi-goal margin on the scoreboard and the French allowed just two goals in total, notching 10 of their own to finish with an excellent +8 goal differential. They look every bit of the champion threat they were projected to be, sitting at the top of odds to win the World Cup at +360 on DraftKings Sportsbook.
The Swedes will absolutely have their work cut out for them in this match. They went 1-1-1 in a formidable Group F, earning four points with a goal differential of 0. Sweden’s run included a 5-1 victory over Tunisia before being drubbed 5-1 themselves by an excellent Netherlands squad. Then, they played a 1-1 draw with Japan to close out their final match. There is talent on this squad, but Sweden will be hard-pressed to compete with a far superior French side.
