This is a bet that is mainly used by punters who believe that a particular game will have a high score or that it will be a really difficult football betting game that will result in a very low score for both teams. These are soccer bets where a bettor needs to predict the number of goals that the teams are going to score; to be more precise, it is the number of goals that you think will be over or under the predictions made by the bookmaker. For example, if a bookmaker predicts that the number of goals in a match will be 1.5 goals in a match, you bet more if you think there will be more than 2 goals and less if you think there will be 1 or no goals. . Bookmakers often increase the number of goals if there is a game involving a heavy favourite.

Here are some tips before you start betting under or over:

a) The smaller matches in the European soccer league generally have many goals scored during each match. These minor leagues are part of the Scandinavian, Dutch or Belgian leagues. There are some fantastic attackers involved in leagues, but defenses are the most overlooked aspect of team strategies during these leagues. Therefore, there is a good chance of a higher number of goals and this can be particularly good for punters who bet on over/under.

b) Derby matches are likely to end with the fewest goals. Therefore, this must be taken into account when betting for more or less. This is because the teams that play in the Derby league do not open up easily.

c) There are basically two theories that guide teams when they play; the first tells them that it is better to score the first goal and win the match and the other tells the teams to concede fewer goals than the opponents. The first is generally followed by teams like Spain and Germany and the second is followed by teams like Italy. Therefore, it is necessary to look at the manager’s statistics along with the team’s statistics before placing bets.

d) Be on the lookout for anything on the teams like injuries, news and sanctioned players. Since, it is the attackers who score most of the goals so do not place your bets if there is an absence of attackers in a team. Also, defense is of some importance because a team will concede a lot of goals if the defense is weak.

To make the under or over bets, you don’t have to be a rocket scientist, but someone who loves to do in-depth analysis. Only analysis can bring you rewards in soccer betting!
