What “Away (0:1)” Means
This is a European Handicap (not Asian Handicap).
- “Away (0:1)” means the away team is starting with a +1 goal advantage.
- Before the match even starts, on your bet slip the away team is treated as if they are already 1–0 up.
So when the match ends, the actual score is adjusted by adding 1 goal to the away team for betting purposes.
How the Result Is Calculated
Let’s imagine:
- Home team = Manchester City
- Away team = Brentford
The handicap is Away (0:1) → Brentford starts +1.
| Real Score | Add +1 to Away | Handicap Score (for bet) | Bet on Away Wins? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Man City 2–1 Brentford | Brentford +1 → 2–2 | Draw (handicap) | Lost |
| Man City 1–1 Brentford | Brentford +1 → 1–2 | Away Wins (handicap) | Win |
| Man City 0–1 Brentford | Brentford +1 → 0–2 | Away Wins (handicap) | Win |
| Man City 3–1 Brentford | Brentford +1 → 3–2 | Home Wins (handicap) | Lost |
If the adjusted score (with +1) favours the away team → your bet on Away wins.
If the adjusted score = draw → it’s a draw bet (if you bet on “draw” in handicap market).
If the adjusted score still favours home team → bet loses.
Simple Formula
Adjusted Away Goals = Real Away Goals + 1
Then compare:
- If Adjusted Away Goals > Home Goals → Away bet wins.
- If Adjusted Away Goals = Home Goals → Handicap Draw.
- If Adjusted Away Goals < Home Goals → Away bet loses.
Betting Tips for “Away (0:1)”
Best for Underdogs
When an away team is weaker but likely to defend and keep the score tight, this market gives you protection.
Use Team Form
Check if the away team rarely loses by more than 1 goal. If they are defensive or in good form, “Away (0:1)” is safer than straight away win.
Good in Derbies / Low-scoring games
In tense, low-scoring matches, that +1 goal is valuable.
Check Injuries & Motivation
If the home side rests players or the away side is desperate for points, the handicap shifts value to Away (0:1).
Combine with Over/Under
Sometimes pairing Away +1 with Under 2.5 goals in a same-game combo can yield bigger odds if you expect a tight game.
