In sports betting, especially football (soccer), a “Goal From Outside The Penalty Area” market refers to a bet placed on whether at least one goal will be scored from outside the 18-yard box during a match.
Key Details:
- What it means: A goal is scored from outside the penalty area (i.e., beyond the 18-yard line).
- Type of goals that count: Long-range shots, free-kicks, or even lobbed attempts from distance.
- What doesn’t count: Goals scored inside the box, penalties, or close-range tap-ins.
Common Betting Options:
- Yes – At least one goal will be scored from outside the penalty area.
- No – All goals will be scored from inside the penalty area or no goal is scored at all.
Example :
- Bet: “Goal from outside the penalty area – YES”
- Result: A player scores a 25-yard screamer = Bet wins
- If all goals are from inside the box or no goal is scored = bet loses
Tips Before Betting:
- Check teams with long-range shooters (e.g., Kevin De Bruyne, James Maddison).
- Evaluate the pitch/weather conditions (wet pitches can favor long shots).
- Some teams shoot more from distance due to compact defending.
