“Home Team to Score – Yes/No” in football Sports Betting – Explained with Examples + Betting Tips


What It Means

This market is about whether the home team will score at least one goal in the match.

  • Yes → You win if the home team scores at least 1 goal (final result could be 1-0, 1-1, 2-3, etc.).
  • No → You win if the home team fails to score (final result 0-0, 0-1, 0-3, etc.).

It doesn’t matter how many goals are scored by the away team. The bet is purely on the home team’s ability to score.


Example with Club Teams

Match: Manchester United (Home) vs. Chelsea (Away)

  • If you bet Home Team to Score – Yes:
    • Final score 1-0 Win
    • Final score 2-2 Win
    • Final score 1-3 Win
  • If you bet Home Team to Score – No:
    • Final score 0-0 Win
    • Final score 0-1 Win
    • Final score 0-4 Win

Why Bettors Use This Market

  • Safer than 1X2 → You don’t need the home team to win, just to score.
  • Good for underdog games → Even if the home side might lose, they could still score a goal.
  • Great for defensive games → If the away team is strong defensively, “No” can have good value.

Betting Tips

  1. Check Home Scoring Form – Teams like Liverpool or Man City rarely go goalless at home.
  2. Look at Opponent’s Defense – If the away team is strong (e.g., Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid), the “No” bet might be worth considering.
  3. Consider Motivation & Lineups – Injuries to strikers or resting players can affect chances of scoring.
  4. Use Stats – Websites like SofaScore, Flashscore, or WhoScored show how often teams score at home.

Summary:

  • “Home Team to Score – Yes” = they must score at least once.
  • “Home Team to Score – No” = they must not score at all.
