”Home Team Odd/Even” in Football Sports Betting – Explained with examples + Betting Tips


What is Home Team Odd/Even Betting?

This is a goals market where you bet on whether the home team’s total goals in a match will be odd or even.

  • Odd = 1, 3, 5, … goals
  • Even = 0, 2, 4, … goals

Important: The bet is only concerned with the home team’s score, not the final match result.


Examples with Club Teams

  1. Manchester City (Home) vs Chelsea
    • Final score: 3–1
    • Home team (Man City) scored 3 goals → Odd
    • Winning bet: Odd
  2. Real Madrid (Home) vs Sevilla
    • Final score: 2–0
    • Home team (Real Madrid) scored 2 goals → Even
    • Winning bet: Even
  3. Bayern Munich (Home) vs Dortmund
    • Final score: 0–1
    • Home team (Bayern) scored 0 goals → Even
    • Winning bet: Even

Betting Tips for Home Odd/Even

  1. Check scoring patterns
    • Teams like Manchester City, Liverpool, PSG often score multiple goals at home → leaning towards Even.
    • Teams that rely on single-goal wins (like Atletico Madrid) → often land on Odd.
  2. Look at recent home form
    • Example: If Inter Milan have scored 2+ goals in their last 5 home matches, betting Even makes sense.
  3. Consider opponent’s strength
    • Against weaker sides, top clubs often score 2, 4, or more goals (Even).
    • Against strong rivals, they may score just 1 goal (Odd).
  4. Derby & big matches
    • Often tight, low-scoring (1–0 or 1–1), so Odd may have value.
  5. Use it for live betting
    • If a home team scores early (1 goal), you can predict whether they will likely add another (making it Even).

Quick Example Betting Strategy

  • PSG at home vs a mid-table Ligue 1 side → Bet Even (expect 2 or 4 goals).
  • Atletico Madrid at home vs Barcelona → Bet Odd (likely tight 1–0 or 1–1).
