What “0–1 Goal Range” Means
A “0–1 Goal Range” bet is a type of total goals (over/under) bet where you are predicting that the total number of goals scored by both teams combined in the match will fall within 0 or 1.
- You win if the match ends with 0 or 1 total goal.
- You lose if the match ends with 2 or more goals.
This is sometimes listed as:
- “Total Goals 0–1”
- “Goals Interval 0–1”
- “0–1 goals in the match”
How It Works (Step by Step with a Team Example)
Let’s use a real team for context:
Imagine a Premier League match Burnley vs. Sheffield United. Both teams are known for defensive football.
If you place a 0–1 Goals Range bet:
- You’re betting that the full-time scoreline will be either:
- 0-0
- 1-0
- 0-1
Any other score (like 2-0, 1-1, 2-1, etc.) will lose your bet.
Example Table:
| Final Score | Total Goals | Bet Result |
|---|---|---|
| 0–0 | 0 | Win |
| 1–0 | 1 | Win |
| 0–1 | 1 | Win |
| 1–1 | 2 | Lose |
| 2–0 | 2 | Lose |
| 2–1 | 3 | Lose |
Why People Bet on 0–1 Goals Range
- Higher odds compared to standard Over/Under 2.5 Goals markets.
- Best for games where both teams have strong defences or poor attacking form.
- Often used in cup ties where one team “parks the bus” to force extra time.
Betting Tips for 0–1 Goal Range
Here are practical tips to improve your chances:
- Look for Defensive Teams
- Teams like Burnley, Sheffield United, Atlético Madrid (under Simeone) or some Italian Serie A sides are known for low-scoring games.
- Check Recent Form & Head-to-Head
- If both teams regularly produce low-scoring games against each other, the 0–1 range becomes attractive.
- Weather & Pitch Conditions
- Bad weather or poor pitch conditions reduce the likelihood of goals (especially in smaller leagues).
- Motivation Factor
- If a team only needs a draw or plans to defend heavily (e.g., away team in the Champions League), this market is more likely.
- Live Betting Advantage
- If the first 20–30 minutes are cagey with no real chances, you can place a live bet on the 0–1 goals range at better odds.
