What Does “Away Team to Win Both Halves” Mean?
This is a special bet where you predict that the away team will win the 1st half AND also win the 2nd half as separate periods of play.
- The away team must score more goals than the home team in each half individually.
- It’s not enough for them to just win the overall match; they must “win” both halves separately.
Example with a Football Team
Let’s take an example:
Match: Manchester United (Home) vs Manchester City (Away)
You bet: Manchester City to win both halves
Scenario 1 – Bet Wins
- 1st Half score: Man Utd 0 – 2 Man City
- 2nd Half score: Man Utd 0 – 1 Man City
- City won the 1st half (2-0) and the 2nd half (1-0).
Your bet wins.
Scenario 2 – Bet Loses
- 1st Half score: Man Utd 0 – 1 Man City
- 2nd Half score: Man Utd 1 – 1 Man City
- City won the 1st half, but the 2nd half was a draw (1-1).
Bet loses, even though City won the match overall (2-1).
Key Points to Remember
- The away team must win each half separately.
- Even if the away team wins the match overall, the bet can still lose if they don’t win both halves.
- Goals are counted within each half only — not the final total.
Betting Tips for “Away Team to Win Both Halves”
- Look for strong away teams
- Teams like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, or Man City are capable of dominating from start to finish, even away from home.
- Check opponent weakness
- If the home team concedes early and struggles to come back, it increases the chance the away team controls both halves.
- Best in mismatched games
- Works well when a top club plays against a much weaker side (e.g., PSG away to a small Ligue 1 team).
- Check form & stats
- Look at stats like average goals scored/conceded per half. Some teams are “first-half scorers,” while others push more in the second.
- High odds = High risk
- This market usually offers big odds (3.00 – 6.00+) because it’s quite difficult. Don’t over-stake; it’s better for small bets or in combination with other bets.
Summary:
“Away Team to Win Both Halves” means the away team must win the 1st half AND the 2nd half individually. It’s a high-risk, high-reward bet, best used when a dominant away side faces a much weaker opponent.
