France vs Sweden

France is elite: 3W-0D-0L, +8 GD, 2.8 goals/match, 0% fail-to-score rate. Sweden is inconsistent (1W-1D-1L, 0 GD, 10% FTS rate) and 5 points behind. Poisson estimates France 6.25 xG vs Sweden 0.35 xG—massive gap. H2H favors France 3-2 with 60% BTTS. Market odds (79.4% home) slightly undervalue France given form differential and expected-goal chasm. Both teams scored in 80% (France) and 90% (Sweden) recent matches; BTTS at 54% is underpriced. Over 2.5 at 67.6% is fair but conservative given France's 100% O2.5 rate and Sweden's 70%. Home -1.5 handicap (57.1%) offers value—France's 6.25 xG vs 0.35 suggests 2+ goal margin is highly probable.
