Why Bet on Away Over 1.5?
- Strong attacking teams often score multiple goals even away from home (e.g., Manchester City, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich).
- Weak defensive home teams concede a lot, making this market valuable.
- Odds are usually better than simply betting on the away team to “score” or “win”.
Betting Tips
- Check Away Form – Focus on teams that consistently score 2+ goals away (e.g., Manchester City in Premier League, PSG in Ligue 1).
- Look at Opponent’s Defense – If the home team concedes many at home, away over 1.5 is strong value.
- Consider Match Importance – In must-win games (title races, relegation battles, Champions League), top teams push harder for goals.
- Avoid Low-Scoring Leagues – In tactical leagues (like Serie A historically or Ligue 1), goals may be tighter compared to the Bundesliga or Premier League.
- Combine in Accumulators – Away Over 1.5 is often good for multi-bets with other goal markets.
Example Betting Strategy
- Game: Bayern Munich (away) vs Augsburg.
- Augsburg has conceded 2+ goals in 4 of their last 5 home games.
- Bayern averages 2.3 goals per away game.
- Betting Bayern Munich Over 1.5 Away Goals has high probability and better odds than simply backing Bayern to win.
