What is at stake for France and Sweden?

France were picked by many as the pre-tournament favourites, and the Blues have arguably been the outstanding side at this summer's competition.

The European nation are two-time world champions, lifting the trophy in 1998 and 2018, and they were the runners-up four years ago in Qatar.

France picked up nine points from their three games in Group I to top the section, beating Senegal, Iraq and Norway to breeze into the knockout round.

Sweden, meanwhile, reached the quarter-finals in their last participation at a World Cup in 2018.

The Blue and Yellows were runners-up on home soil back in 1958, while they have also twice been third and once been fourth at a World Cup.
