The guys at Betfair are offering new customers £50 in free bets with a £10 stake, a perfect offer for this week's first World Cup semi-final between France and Spain.
The French enter this game as favourites having surged through the tournament to the last four. Didier Deschamps's side have faced limited resistance en route to their third straight semi-final and are most peoples' favourites to lift the trophy.
France boast a fearsome attack that no other team can rival, containing Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele, Michael Olise and Desire Doue. A full forward line of Ballon d'Or level players is an embarrassment of riches few teams in the history of the game could boast, so it's of little surprise that there's an expectation on them to win the World Cup.
Mbappe currently has eight goals in the tournament and is chasing Lionel Messi's record of 21 World Cup goals, with Mbappe sitting just one goal behind him in the all-time top goalscorer charts. With arguably the world's best player bang in goalscoring form, France have all the necessary ingredients to get the job done.
Spain, meanwhile, have grown into the tournament after a slow start. Some uninspiring performances in the group stage were rectified by strong showings in the knockout stage, where they've beaten Austria (3-0), Portugal (1-0) and Belgium (2-1).
Luis De La Fuente's side are the reigning European champions and are not to be underestimated, and with Ballon d'Or-winning midfielder Rodri looking back to his best they have weapons of their own.
Lamine Yamal came into the tournament injured and understandably has had to work his way into the tournament, but he's been looking sharper and sharper as each game has progressed and his team will need him to produce if they're to come through this game.
Based on that, we've put together a 37/1 bet builder for the clash, and you can back it with £50 in free bets when you bet £10 with Betfair.
