Away Win in Regular Time – Football Betting Explained
Market Name: Away Win (also written as 2, FT 2, or Away to Win)
Meaning: You are betting that the away team will win the match in regular time only (90 minutes + injury time).
Extra-time and penalties do NOT count.
Detailed Explanation (Using a Team Example)
Let’s use Chelsea (Home) vs Manchester United (Away).
If you place a bet on Away Win, you are predicting that Manchester United will win the match after 90 minutes.
Your bet wins if:
- Manchester United win 0–1
- Manchester United win 1–2
- Manchester United win 1–3
- Any score where the away team finishes with more goals than the home team
Your bet loses if:
- The match ends draw (0–0, 1–1, 2–2)
- Chelsea (the home team) win by any score
Your bet is unaffected by:
- What happens in extra-time
- What happens in penalties
Those periods don’t count. Only the 90-minute result matters.

When to Use the Away Win Bet
This market is good when:
The away team is strong
Example: Man City away at Bournemouth.
The home team is struggling
Poor form, low scoring, or defensive issues.
The away team plays well on the road
Some clubs are strong counter-attacking teams.
The match is balanced but the away team has better attacking players
Example: Napoli away at Torino.
Betting Tips for Away Win
1. Check Away Form
Look at the last 5–10 away matches of the team.
A strong away team + weak home team = good value.
2. Avoid Derbies with Wild Atmosphere
Derbies like:
- Arsenal vs Tottenham
- AC Milan vs Inter
- Real Madrid vs Atletico
These matches can be unpredictable.
3. Look for Counter-Attacking Teams
Some clubs perform better away because:
- They can sit back
- Hit on counter
- Exploit space
Good examples:
- Manchester United (in many seasons)
- Dortmund
- Napoli
- RB Leipzig
4. Study Missing Players (Injuries/Suspensions)
If the away team’s main defender or striker is missing, reconsider the bet.
5. Consider History
If the away team frequently wins at that stadium, this increases confidence.
6. Don’t Bet Away Win in “Must Win” Matches for the Home Team
When home teams fight relegation or need qualification, they may play extra aggressively.
