Overall, France are unbeaten in their last 11 games against Sweden (six wins, five draws), last losing to them in October 1969.

Their last encounter came in a friendly in August 2008, with France winning 3-2 in Goteborg.

France only need a draw to ensure progress to the quarter-finals, whilst Sweden are already out.

France are unbeaten in their last 23 games (16 wins, seven draws), the longest current run among all 16 teams taking part in Euro 2012.

France's win against Ukraine in the last round of matches was their first at a major tournament since their semi-final victory against Portugal at World Cup 2006.

France's shooting accuracy is the highest at Euro 2012: they've tested the opposition goalkeeper with 68% of shots.

France have conceded only two shots on target in their first two games, the best tally at Euro 2012 so far.

19 of Sweden's 22 goals at the European Championship have been scored in the second half.

Sweden have won only two of their last 13 matches at the European Championship, losing the last four. The record for consecutive defeats is held by Yugoslavia, who lost six on the bounce.

Sweden became the second team to be knocked out of Euro 2012 after the Republic of Ireland.

Karim Benzema is the top scorer (7 goals) and top assist provider (7 assists) for France under Laurent Blanc. However, he has failed to find the net with any of his 17 shots at the European Championship (2008 and 2012).

Benzema delivered two assists against Ukraine, the first French player to achieve that feat at the European Championship since Alain Giresse against Belgium in 1984.

Franck Ribery has completed the most dribbles at Euro 2012 after two rounds of matches: 10 (from 26 attempts).
