Can Sweden's trident—Isak, Gyökeres, and Elanga—create a surprise?

Although Sweden's overall strength is inferior to France's, their attacking trident should not be underestimated.

Alexander Isak (Liverpool), with his delicate technique and flexible movement, had 2 assists and 1 goal in the group stage match against Tunisia. Viktor Gyökeres (Arsenal), strong and explosive, stated before the match that he wants to cause an upset against France. Anthony Elanga (Newcastle), extremely fast, scored a long-range shot against Japan. All three have already scored in this World Cup.

If these three are on the pitch at the same time, France's defense must remain highly vigilant. France likes to push forward, often moving their backline to near the center circle. Sweden's tactic is very clear—direct, vertical fast transitions. As soon as they win the ball, they look for the forwards to use their speed to attack the space behind France's defense.

Vietnamese commentators also admitted: "Of course Sweden can score against France. Isak, Gyökeres, and Elanga all have the ability to 'explode' for Sweden." Football365's prediction is "France wins + both teams score." Sweden has the ability to score goals; the question is whether they can keep the goals against them to a minimum.
