What “Player to Score with Right Foot” Means
This market is a player-specific prop bet where you predict which foot the player will use to score a goal during the match.
- Bet wins if the named player scores a goal using his right foot (from open play, penalty, or even deflection — depending on bookmaker rules).
- Bet loses if:
- The player scores with his left foot, head, or other body part, or
- The player doesn’t score at all.
Example Explanation
Let’s use Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) as an example.
Although Salah is famously left-footed, he occasionally scores with his right foot, especially when defenders force him onto his weaker side.
Example Match:
Liverpool vs West Ham
- Market: Mohamed Salah to Score with Right Foot
- Odds: 7.00 (since right-foot goals are rarer for him)
Scenario 1: Salah scores a curling left-foot goal — Bet loses.
Scenario 2: Salah scores a tap-in with his right foot after a rebound — Bet wins.
Scenario 3: Salah scores a header — Bet loses.
The bet depends not only on whether Salah scores, but how he scores.
Other Player Examples
| Player | Strong Foot | Chance of Right-Foot Goal | Betting Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Erling Haaland (Man City) | Left | Moderate | Haaland uses both feet often. A right-foot goal bet is fairly balanced. |
| Harry Kane (Bayern Munich) | Right | Very High | A natural right-footer who scores many right-footed goals. |
| Kylian Mbappé (PSG) | Right | High | Fast, right-foot dominant, but versatile. |
| Marcus Rashford (Man United) | Right | High | Frequently cuts in and finishes with right foot. |
Betting Tips for “Right Foot Scorer” Market
- Know the player’s dominant foot.
- Right-footed players like Kane, Rashford, or Mbappé have higher right-foot goal likelihoods.
- Left-footers (Salah, Foden) make good bets for left-foot markets, not right-foot.
- Study shot patterns and highlights.
Look at recent goals — which foot are they scoring with? For example, Kane scores 70–80% of his goals with his right foot. - Consider player position and tactics.
- Wingers cutting inside onto their strong foot are more likely to use that foot.
- Strikers who receive crosses often score with their dominant foot if positioned correctly.
- Avoid midfielders or defenders.
They rarely score, and the foot used becomes even more unpredictable. - Use stats platforms.
Check WhoScored, FBref, or SofaScore for player shot maps and foot usage percentages. - Combine with Anytime Goalscorer bets.
For safer betting, you can also place an Anytime Goalscorer bet alongside your Right Foot selection.
