Choosing a Team for Over 1.5

Let’s take Manchester City as an example (a top attacking team).

Why Manchester City is good for Over 1.5:

• They score a lot of goals in most matches.
• Strong attacking lineup: De Bruyne, Haaland, and other forwards.
• Consistently play an offensive style, especially at home.

Example Statistics:

• Last 5 matches:
  1. Man City 3–0 Arsenal → 3 goals
  2. Man City 2–1 Chelsea → 3 goals
  3. Man City 1–0 Liverpool → 1 goal (This would lose)
  4. Man City 4–2 Tottenham → 6 goals
  5. Man City 2–0 Newcastle → 2 goals

From these 5 matches:

• 4 matches went over 1.5 goals.
• 1 match went under 1.5 goals.

So statistically, betting Over 1.5 on Manchester City is favorable because most games have at least 2 goals.

3. How to Bet on Over 1.5

• Go to your sportsbook → choose Total Goals → select Over 1.5.
• Odds vary depending on teams and leagues. For high-scoring teams like Man City, odds might be around 1.20–1.50, meaning lower risk but smaller return.
• You can also combine Over 1.5 with other bets, e.g., Man City to win & Over 1.5, for slightly higher odds.

Betting Tips for Over 1.5

1. Pick attacking teams: Teams that regularly score 2+ goals per match.
   • Examples: Manchester City, Liverpool, Bayern Munich.
2. Check recent form: Look at last 5–10 matches to see if the team consistently scores.
3. Consider both teams: Even if your team scores a lot, the opponent might score too, which helps Over 1.5.
4. Home vs. Away: Teams often score more at home; check home/away stats.
5. Avoid low-scoring matches: Some leagues and matches tend to have fewer goals (e.g., defensive teams, relegation battles).
