Meaning of “No Goal Home” Betting
- This bet means the home team will not score any goal during the entire match (90 minutes + injury time).
- It doesn’t matter how many goals the away team scores — as long as the home team scores 0 goals, your bet wins.
- Sometimes bookmakers phrase it as:
- “Home Team to Score – No”
- “No Goal (Home)”
- “Home Team Goals – Under 0.5”
How It Works With Real Teams
Example match:
- Chelsea (Home) vs. Manchester City (Away)
If you bet “No Goal Home”:
- You win if Chelsea scores 0 (e.g. 0-0, 0-1, 0-2, 0-3, etc.)
- You lose if Chelsea scores even once (e.g. 1-0, 1-1, 1-2, 2-2, etc.)
Another example:
- Real Madrid (Home) vs. Atletico Madrid (Away)
Bet: “No Goal Home” (Real Madrid to score 0 goals):
- Win: Real Madrid 0-1 Atletico, Real Madrid 0-2 Atletico
- Lose: Real Madrid 1-0 Atletico, Real Madrid 1-1 Atletico
Typical Odds
- “No Goal Home” usually gives higher odds than “Yes Goal Home” because home teams often score at least once.
- Example odds:
- Home Team to Score – Yes: 1.25
- Home Team to Score – No: 3.80
This shows bookmakers think the home team is much more likely to score than not.
Situations Where “No Goal Home” Makes Sense
- The home team is very weak offensively or missing key attackers.
- The away team is defensively strong (like Inter Milan, Manchester City, Atlético Madrid).
- Weather or pitch conditions may favor low-scoring games.
- Tactical style — if the away team sits deep and counters but rarely concedes.
Betting Tips

| Away team’s defense | Away team’s clean sheets on the road indicate a stronger chance of “No Goal Home”. |
| Injuries & suspensions | Missing strikers or playmakers in the home team boosts this bet’s value. |
| Match importance | In knockout or must-win away games, big clubs often defend deep and frustrate home sides. |
| Consider halftime betting | You can also bet “No Goal Home 1st Half” if you’re only confident early on. |
