The big guns are emerging in the battle for the World Cup and it is France's turn to make their entrance tonight when they take on Senegal in their Group I opener.

Didier Deschamps' side will hope to go one better than they did four years ago in Qatar when they lost a thrilling final to Argentina on penalties, but Senegal present a stern test and will be looking to rekindle memories of a famous opening victory over Les Bleus in 2002.

And Betfair are offering new customers 50-1 that a goal is scored in East Rutherford.

Read on for details on how to claim your bonus, all the T&Cs, and a handy guide to creating a Betfair account.

Get 50-1 on a goal to be scored in France vs Senegal with Betfair

Having reached the last two finals, plenty of people fancy it could be France who are celebrating victory in this year's World Cup, which would be the perfect send-off for manager Didier Deschamps, who will be leaving his post after 14 years at the end of the tournament.

Deschamps has a formidable line-up, particularly up front, where Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappe spearheads an attacking force that is the envy of many of the 48 teams gunning for global glory this summer.

However, the brilliant French team that went to South Korea as World and European champions in 2002 came unstuck when they fell to a shock defeat against Senegal, and the Lions of Teranga will be eyeing another seismic result when they head to East Rutherford.

They will have extra fire in their bellies after their Africa Cup of Nations final victory over Morocco was overturned, and that all adds up to a spicy encounter that looks set to be full of goals.

Betfair go 1-66 about over 0.5 goals in tonight's showdown, making their new customer offer of 50-1 for a goal to be scored plus a free bet builder on an England fixture an appealing one. 

Don't forget, England vs Croatia kick off on Wednesday at 9pm and there are fantastic odds boosts available. We've compiled the best ones below:
