What Does “Any Team To Win By” Mean?
This market is about winning margin — you’re betting on the exact number of goals a team (either side) will win by, not necessarily which team wins.
For example:
- “Any team to win by 1 goal” → The match must end with either side winning by exactly 1 goal (e.g., 2-1, 1-0, 3-2).
- “Any team to win by 2 goals” → The match must end with either side winning by exactly 2 goals (e.g., 2-0, 3-1, 4-2).
- “Any team to win by 3+ goals” → Either team must win by a margin of 3 or more goals.
You don’t need to pick the winning side — only the margin matters.

Betting Tips
- Check Team Styles
- Defensive vs attacking sides → often leads to narrow 1-goal wins.
- Free-scoring teams vs weak defenses → bigger margins likely (2+ or 3+).
- Derby Matches / Close Rivals
- Usually tighter games → look for Any team to win by 1 goal.
- Big Teams vs Small Teams
- Expect dominance → Any team to win by 2 or 3+ goals is more realistic.
- Example: Man City vs Sheffield United.
- Home vs Away Advantage
- Home teams with strong records often cover 2+ goal wins.
- Away underdogs might only snatch a narrow 1-goal win if they get lucky.
- Use Stats
- Look at teams’ past results:
- If 7 of Liverpool’s last 10 wins were by exactly 1 goal → “Any team to win by 1 goal” has good value.
- If PSG regularly thrash Ligue 1 opponents 3-0 or 4-1 → better to back 2+ goal margin.
- Look at teams’ past results:
summary:
“Any Team To Win By” is about betting on the margin of victory regardless of which team wins. Great for bettors who expect a close game but can’t pick a side, or for matches where a dominant team is expected to win big.
