What Is “Correct Score [0:0]” in Football Betting?
“Correct Score [0:0]” means you are betting that the final score of the match will end in a goalless draw — no goals scored by either team when the match finishes (after 90 minutes plus injury time).
It does not include extra time or penalties, only the result at the end of normal time.
Example with Teams
Let’s take a Premier League match:
Example Match:
Chelsea vs Brentford
If you place a bet on Correct Score [0:0], you are predicting the match will end with no goals — Chelsea 0 – 0 Brentford.
Bet Wins If:
- Final Score = 0-0
Bet Loses If:
- Any team scores a goal (for example: 1-0, 0-1, 1-1, 2-0, etc.)
Example with Odds
Let’s assume the bookmaker offers these correct score odds:
| Score | Odds |
|---|---|
| 0-0 | 8.50 |
| 1-0 | 6.00 |
| 1-1 | 7.00 |
| 2-1 | 9.00 |
If you stake $10 on 0-0 at odds of 8.50,
and the game ends 0-0, you win:
$10 × 8.50 = $85 (profit $75)
If any goal is scored, you lose your $10 stake.
When to Consider a 0–0 Correct Score Bet
This market is good to consider when:
- Both teams are defensively strong (e.g., Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan).
- The match is low-stakes — both teams might play cautiously.
- Bad weather conditions — rain or wind could reduce goal chances.
- Key attackers are injured or suspended — reducing goal potential.
- First leg of a knockout game — teams often play safe to avoid conceding.
Example Analysis
Match:
Atletico Madrid Vs Real Sociedad
- Atletico are known for solid defence.
- Real Sociedad have struggled to score away recently.
- Previous 3 meetings ended 0-0 or 1-0.
In this case, Correct Score [0:0] could be a smart small-stake bet at high odds (often 7.00–12.00).
Betting Tips
- Check Recent Form:
If both teams’ last 5 games have seen few goals (under 2.5 goals often), 0-0 is more likely. - Look at Head-to-Head Stats:
Teams that often draw 0-0 or 1-0 in the past are good candidates. - Goalkeeper & Defence Quality:
Strong keepers and organized defences raise the chance of 0-0. - Avoid Open-Play Teams:
Don’t pick 0-0 in matches involving high-scoring teams like Manchester City, Bayern Munich, or PSG. - Small Stakes, Big Odds:
0-0 correct score bets are low-probability but high-reward — use small stakes, as the odds are usually large.
Summary Table
| Bet Type | Description | Wins If | Typical Odds |
