“Excluded Number of Goals – Away” in football Sports Betting Explained with Examples + Betting Tips


What Does Excluded Number of Goals – Away Mean?

This market allows you to bet on the away team’s total goals, but with one specific number excluded.

  • You are saying: “The away team will score any number of goals except this excluded number.”
  • If the away team finishes the match with the excluded number of goals, your bet loses.

It’s similar to “Goals – Except X” betting.


Example with Teams

Let’s say the match is:

Manchester City (Home) vs. Real Madrid (Away)
Market: Excluded Number of Goals – Away (2)

  • If you bet “Away Excluded 2 Goals” → you are betting that Real Madrid will score 0, 1, 3, 4, or more goals.
  • The only way you lose is if Real Madrid scores exactly 2 goals.

Possible Outcomes:

  • Final Score: Man City 2–0 Real Madrid → Away scored 0 → Bet Wins
  • Final Score: Man City 2–1 Real Madrid → Away scored 1 → Bet Wins
  • Final Score: Man City 1–2 Real Madrid → Away scored 2 → Bet Loses
  • Final Score: Man City 2–3 Real Madrid → Away scored 3 → Bet Wins

Why Bettors Use This Market

  • It helps avoid common scoring numbers.
  • Example: Many away teams frequently finish with 1 or 2 goals, so you can exclude these to improve odds.
  • Odds are usually higher than normal “Over/Under” betting because you’re removing one exact option.

Betting Tips

  1. Research Team Scoring Trends
    • If the away team often scores 2 goals per match (like Liverpool in the Premier League), avoid excluding 2.
    • Instead, maybe exclude 0 or 1.
  2. Use Against Defensive Teams
    • If the home side defends well, the away team may only score 0 or 1 → so excluding 2 or 3 is safer.
  3. Good for Underdog Matches
    • When a weaker away team plays a strong home side, they often score 0 or 1 goal max. Excluding 2 can give value.
  4. Check Recent Away Form
    • For example, if Bayern Munich away from home often scores 3+, excluding 1 or 2 goals is smarter.

Practical Example Bet

Match: Arsenal vs. Bayern Munich
Market: Excluded Number of Goals – Away (1)

  • You bet: “Bayern will score any number of goals EXCEPT exactly 1.”
  • If Bayern scores 0, 2, 3, 4+ → Win
  • If Bayern scores exactly 1 → Lose

In short: Excluded Number of Goals – Away is betting that the away team will not finish on a specific exact goal tally, making it a flexible alternative to standard over/under markets.
