Four years after falling in heartbreaking fashion on penalties in the World Cup final, France is back. Les Bleus have looked like the most dominant team in the tournament so far, and all the pressure is on them to make it back. An early elimination, such as in today’s 5 p.m. ET Round of 32 game against Sweden, would be a massive disappointment.
Both teams’ lineups are now set for the pivotal clash. Didier Deschamps has announced the 11 men who will represent France, while Graham Potter has done the same for Blågult.
Les Bleus are -350 favorites to win in regular time at DraftKings Sportsbook (-900 to advance to the Round of 16), and Sweden is +1000 (+550 to advance). There are +500 odds that the match will enter extra time.
