France take on Sweden in the World Cup round of 32 tonight. Here’s the kick-off time, TV channel, live stream details and who awaits the winners
France and Sweden go head-to-head tonight for a place in the last 16 of the World Cup.
Didier Deschamps’ side have been one of the standout teams of the tournament so far, winning all three of their group matches in style against Senegal, Iraq and Norway, scoring at least three goals in each outing.
Kylian Mbappe has already netted four times in the competition and will be hoping to continue his fine goalscoring form as France bid to keep their World Cup challenge on track.
Sweden, managed by former Swansea City and Chelsea boss Graham Potter, squeezed through to the knockout stages as one of the best third-placed teams and face a huge task against one of the pre-tournament favourites.
Deschamps will also be back on the touchline after briefly returning to France following the death of his mother.

France v Sweden team news
William Saliba is expected to return to France’s starting line-up after being rested for the group-stage win over Norway because of a minor back issue.
Sweden’s main concern is Isak Hien, with Victor Lindelof expected to move back into central defence if Hien is unable to feature.
