France vs. Sweden: Backing cards and Les Bleus' firepower

Justin Setterfield / Staff

Didier Deschamps' side have been disciplined in this World Cup, their solitary yellow card coming in the Norway game, but they're not the reason for the cards angle.

The Swedes picked up two yellows against Japan and three against the Netherlands, and have averaged two per game over their last 10.

Referee Danny Makkelie also handed out six cards while overseeing USA vs. Paraguay and three in Morocco vs. Haiti, and with both sides needing a result, this one could get tasty.

As far as the goals are concerned, France have beaten this market single-handedly not only in all three of their World Cup fixtures so far, but in seven of their last nine games dating back to November.

And that's before factoring in that Sweden are capable of nicking a goal with the talent they have up front, even in a game they're expected to lose.

With four goals in three games and averaging three shots on target in the tournament so far, Mbappé is a solid bet to continue that streak.

And after coming alive with four goals and an average of 2.5 shots on target in his last two, we're backing Dembele to keep his run going.

A five-leg bet builder is often a little dangerous, but when those odds come in at 6.57, we're comfortable with the risk/reward element here.

Odds correct as of June 29, 2026. Recommended bets are advised to over-18s.
