Sports Mole looks ahead to the international friendly between Euro 2016 hosts France and Sweden.

Due to their status as hosts of the 2016 European Championships, it's nothing but friendly fixtures for France between now and the main tournament.

In recent outings, Didier Deschamp's men have defeated European heavyweights Spain and Portugal, but those results have been countered by draws against the likes of Serbia and Albania.

They will look to return to winning ways in Marseille on Tuesday night with the visit of Sweden.

In terms of team selection, Manchester City full-back Bacary Sagna could be included, as could Paul Pogba, Yohan Cabaye and Karim Benzema as the lone centre-forward.

Meanwhile, the Swedish attack is expected to be spearheaded by Paris Saint-Germain talisman Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The Swedes have won just one of the last 12 meetings between these two nations, although their victory did come in their most recent clash back in 2012, when Ibrahimovic scored in a 2-0 win.
