What is “Scores in Each Half” Betting?
This is a football bet where you predict whether a team will score at least one goal in both halves of a match.
- Yes → The selected team scores in both the 1st half and 2nd half.
- No → The selected team fails to score in at least one half (either 1st half or 2nd half).
It doesn’t matter how many goals they score in each half — just at least one goal in both halves for “Yes” to win.
Example with Teams
Match: Manchester City vs Fulham
- Bet: Man City to Score in Each Half – Yes
- If City score in the 30th minute (1st half) and the 70th minute (2nd half) → Bet wins.
- If City only score in the 60th minute (2nd half) → Bet loses.
- Bet: Fulham to Score in Each Half – Yes
- If Fulham score in the 20th minute and 88th minute → Bet wins.
- If Fulham only score once in the 1st half → Bet loses.
Key Details
- Applies to one team only – You bet on whether a specific team scores in both halves.
- Extra time does not count – Only the regular 90 minutes + injury time count.
- Scoring once per half is enough – It doesn’t matter if it’s 1 goal or 3 goals in the half.
Example Scenarios
Scenario 1:
Liverpool vs Brighton
- Liverpool goals: 12’, 40’, 75’
- Bet: Liverpool to Score in Each Half – Yes → Wins (scored in 1st half and 2nd half).
Scenario 2:
Real Madrid vs Sevilla
- Real Madrid goals: 55’
- Bet: Real Madrid to Score in Each Half – Yes → lose (only scored in 2nd half).
Scenario 3:
Chelsea vs Aston Villa
- Chelsea goals: 15’, 45+2’, 51’, 88’
- Bet: Chelsea to Score in Each Half – Yes → Wins (scored in both halves).
Betting Tips
- Target attacking teams
- Clubs like Man City, Liverpool, Real Madrid, PSG, Bayern often score across both halves.
- Check team form
- If a team tends to start fast and keep pressing late, they are good candidates.
- Teams that often score only late (e.g., Atletico Madrid, Roma) may be risky.
- Home advantage
- Strong home teams are more likely to keep pressure across both halves.
- Weaker opponent factor
- Betting is safer when a big team faces a weak defensive side.
- Live betting angle
- If a team scores early (say within 20 minutes), betting in-play on them to “score in both halves” can have good value.
Best Use:
- Great for matches where one side is clearly stronger and known for consistent scoring.
- Risky in tight games between evenly matched defensive teams.
