France, for their part, have scored in 11 of their last 12 matches, yet in their Euro 2020 qualifying campaign conceded home and away against Moldova, while also letting Turkey and Albania get on the scoresheet against them.
Sweden have scored in five of their last six games against Les Bleus and there is every chance we can see a repeat on Saturday.
