What Does Away Team to Score in Both Halves Mean?
This bet means:
- The away team (the visiting side) must score at least one goal in the first half and at least one goal in the second half of the match.
- It doesn’t matter how many goals they score, as long as they get one in each half.
If the away team only scores in one half, or doesn’t score at all, the bet loses.
Example with a Football Team
Let’s use Manchester City playing away against Everton in the Premier League.
- If the match ends Everton 1–3 Man City:
- Man City score in the 20th minute (1st half)
- Man City score again in the 55th and 80th minutes (2nd half)
- Bet wins because City scored in both halves.
- If the match ends Everton 0–2 Man City with both goals in the second half:
- 1st half: No goal
- 2nd half: 2 goals
- bet loses because City didn’t score in the first half.
- If the match ends Everton 1–1 Man City with City’s goal in the 1st half only:
- 1st half: 1 goal
- 2nd half: 0 goals
- Bet loses because City didn’t score in the second half.
Why Do Bettors Like This Market?
- High Odds: Usually higher than “Away Team to Score” or “Over 1.5 Away Goals” since it’s harder to score in both halves.
- Good for Strong Attacking Teams: Teams like Man City, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, PSG often score consistently in both halves.
- Exciting Bet: Keeps you engaged for the full 90 minutes.
Betting Tips
- Check Team Form: Strong attacking away sides (Liverpool, Barcelona, Bayern) are best picks.
- Opponent Weakness: If the home team concedes often in both halves, this bet has higher chances.
- Look at Match Tempo: Teams that attack early and keep pressure (Man City, PSG) are more likely to score in both halves.
- Avoid Defensive Opponents: Low-block teams (e.g., Atletico Madrid at home) may frustrate away teams.
- Use In-Play Betting: If the away team scores early in the 1st half, you can back them to score again in the 2nd at better odds.
