What “Under 1.5 Goals” Means
- This is an Over/Under Goals market where you’re betting on the total number of goals scored in a match (both teams combined).
- Under 1.5 Goals means you’re betting that there will be 0 or 1 goal scored in the whole match.
- If the game ends with 2 or more goals, your bet loses.
Winning scores (0–0, 1–0, 0–1)
Losing scores (1–1, 2–0, 0–2, 2–1, 3–0, etc.)
How the Market Works
- Bookmakers set a line (here, 1.5 goals).
- You choose Under 1.5 Goals if you think the match will be tight and low scoring.
- Odds are usually higher than Under 2.5, because it’s harder for a game to stay at just 0 or 1 goal.
Example with a Team
Let’s use Atletico Madrid in La Liga as an example:
- Suppose Atletico Madrid vs Getafe. Both teams are known for strong defense and low-scoring games.
- You bet Under 1.5 Goals.
Possible outcomes:
- 0–0 → win
- 1–0 to Atletico → Win
- 0–1 to Getafe → Win
- 1–1 or 2–0 → Lose
This is a classic scenario for under 1.5 goals, because both teams play conservatively.
Another example:
- Burnley vs Sheffield United in the Premier League. If both teams average less than 1 goal per game recently, this fixture might be ideal for Under 1.5 goals.
Betting Tips for Under 1.5 Goals
Look at Defensive Stats
- Focus on teams with strong defense and low scoring attack.
- Example: Teams like Atletico Madrid, Getafe, Sheffield United, or some Italian Serie B clubs.
Check Head-to-Head History
- If the last 5 matches between the two teams ended 0–0 or 1–0, the Under 1.5 market has better value.
Consider Team News
- If key strikers are injured or suspended, chances of goals drop.
- Example: If Liverpool plays without Salah, Nunez & Jota, their scoring threat decreases.
Weather & Pitch Conditions
- Rain, snow, or poor pitch conditions can lower goal chances.
In-Play Betting
- If you see the first 20 minutes are very defensive with few chances, you can place an Under 1.5 Goals in-play bet at slightly higher odds.
Odds Snapshot (Typical)
- Under 1.5 goals often has odds between 2.20–3.50 depending on teams.
- Example:
- Atletico vs Getafe: Under 1.5 might be 2.80
- Bayern vs Dortmund: Under 1.5 might be 5.00 (because high-scoring teams)
