France vs Sweden Stats – Match Statistics Overview
France hold the stronger statistical profile before kickoff. FOX lists France at 3.3 goals, 1.7 xG, 16.3 shots, and 62% average possession per game. That data shows a team that creates volume while keeping opponents away from repeated high-value chances.
Sweden’s numbers show attacking danger with defensive risk. FOX lists Sweden at 2.3 goals, 1.1 xG, 14.7 shots, and 54% average possession per game. The shot volume keeps Sweden competitive, yet the 2.3 goals-against average changes the match equation.
France vs Sweden Stats Snapshot
The snapshot uses verified public pre-match data because the official live-event feed has not opened yet. France lead in FIFA ranking, goals, xG, goals against, shots, possession, and chances created. Sweden’s clearest route comes through direct forwards, set pieces, and fast attacks before France settle into midfield control.
| Stat | France | Sweden |
|---|---|---|
| FIFA Ranking | 3 | 38 |
| Goals Per Match | 3.3 | 2.3 |
| xG Per Match | 1.7 | 1.1 |
| Goals Against Per Match | 0.7 | 2.3 |
| Shots Per Match | 16.3 | 14.7 |
| Average Possession | 62% | 54% |
| Chances Created Avg | 11.0 | 9.0 |
Attacking Stats Comparison
France have the sharper attacking data and the clearest individual scorer. FOX lists Kylian Mbappe with four goals, 2.2 xG, nine shots on goal, and two player-of-the-match markers. Michael Olise also has three assists, which gives France a creative source outside Mbappe’s finishing.
Sweden can still threaten because their shot average is close to France’s. FOX lists Anthony Elanga with two goals and Alexander Isak with three assists. Viktor Gyokeres also leads Sweden’s xG and shots-on-goal markers, so France cannot defend Sweden as a one-player attack.
| Attack Stat | France | Sweden |
|---|---|---|
| Goals Per Match | 3.3 | 2.3 |
| Expected Goals Avg | 1.7 | 1.1 |
| Shots Per Match | 16.3 | 14.7 |
| Chances Created Avg | 11.0 | 9.0 |
| Shot Conversion | 20% | 16% |
| Leading Scorer | Kylian Mbappe, 4 | Anthony Elanga, 2 |
Defensive Stats Comparison
France have the stronger defensive profile before kickoff. FOX lists France at 0.7 goals against per game, while Mike Maignan has one clean sheet and a 20 keeper save marker. That record supports the wider group-stage picture because France conceded only two goals across three matches.
Sweden’s defensive numbers are the biggest concern. FOX lists Sweden at 2.3 goals against per game, while Jacob Widell Zetterstrom has no clean sheet and a 25 keeper save marker. Sweden may need more saves than France if Mbappe and Olise find space early.
| Defensive Stat | France | Sweden |

Passing and Possession Analysis
France lead the possession comparison, but Sweden are not a low-control team in the public data. FOX lists France at 62% average possession and Sweden at 54%. Since those numbers come from separate group matches, the card normalizes them into a 53-47 matchup view.
The chance-creation gap is modest but useful for France. France average 11.0 chances created, while Sweden average 9.0. That difference suggests Sweden can generate attacks, yet France have been better at turning control into goals and defensive security.
| Passing Stat | France | Sweden |
|---|---|---|
| Average Possession | 62% | 54% |

Key Player Statistics
Mbappe leads the public player data for France with four goals, 2.2 xG, nine shots on goal, and two player-of-the-match markers. Olise supplies the leading assist line with three. Maignan gives France the goalkeeper row with one clean sheet and a 20 keeper save marker.
Elanga leads Sweden’s scoring line with two goals, while Isak carries three assists. Gyokeres has seven shots on goal and 1.2 xG, which makes him the main shot-quality reference. Mattias Svanberg also owns Sweden’s top FOX rating marker at 8.1.
| Player | Team | Key Data |
|---|---|---|
| Kylian Mbappe | France | 4 goals, 2.2 xG, 9 shots on goal |
| Michael Olise | France | 3 assists in FOX leaders |
| Mike Maignan | France | 20 keeper save marker, 1 clean sheet |
| Anthony Elanga | Sweden | 2 goals, 1 player-of-the-match marker |
| Alexander Isak | Sweden | 3 assists in FOX leaders |
| Viktor Gyokeres | Sweden | 7 shots on goal, 1.2 xG |
Expected Goals Analysis
The xG comparison supports France, though the goals gap is larger than the shot-quality gap. France sit at 1.7 xG per game, while Sweden sit at 1.1. France have converted that edge into 3.3 goals per game, which points to elite finishing across the group-stage sample.
Sweden can close the match if Isak, Gyokeres, and Elanga turn their early runs into better shot locations. France need Tchouameni and Camavinga to stop second-ball attacks before Sweden’s forwards face the back line. The full-time update should separate open-play xG, set-play xG, shot locations, and goalkeeper saves once the official match feed closes.
