Betting Tips
- Best for strong defensive away teams who concede few goals.
- Check if the home team struggles to score at home.
- Favour this market in low-scoring leagues (e.g., Serie A, Ligue 1) or in matches where the away team is far superior.
- Look at goalkeeper form & injuries — missing first-choice defenders can make this risky.
- Often better odds than simply “Away Team to Win” because it adds the clean sheet condition.
