A Swedish victory over France would, given the odds ahead of the playoffs, be one of the most unexpected results in the round of 16 and could be one of the biggest upsets of the entire World Cup tournament.

By comparison, Congo-Kinshasa is considered to have about the same chance of knocking out England, and the same applies to Austria against Spain.

Sweden meets France on Tuesday at 11:00 p.m., and France is being identified as the main candidate for gold in the championship.

The most even round of 16, according to the odds beforehand, is the one between Australia and Egypt.
