What “0–1 Goal Bounds” Means
This is a total goals market.
- You’re betting on the total number of goals scored in the whole match (by both teams combined).
- “0–1 Goal Bounds” = there will be no more than 1 goal in the match.
- If 2 or more goals are scored, your bet loses.
It’s similar to the “Under 1.5 Goals” market, but some bookmakers phrase it as Goal Bounds 0–1.
How It Works with a Team Example
Let’s imagine:
- Match: Chelsea vs Brentford
- Market: 0–1 Goal Bounds
You bet ₦10,000 on 0–1 Goal Bounds at odds 2.80.
Possible Outcomes:
| Final Score | Total Goals | Your Bet Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| 0–0 | 0 goals | Win |
| 1–0 | 1 goal | Win |
| 0–1 | 1 goal | Win |
| 1–1 | 2 goals | Lose |
| 2–0 | 2 goals | Lose |
| 3–1 | 4 goals | Lose |
So you win only if the match ends 0–0, 1–0, or 0–1.
If the match has two or more goals, you lose.
This is why it’s called goal bounds 0–1 — the “bound” of goals allowed is 1.
Difference Between Goal Bounds & Exact Score
- Exact Score betting: you predict the exact scoreline (like 0–0 or 1–0).
- 0–1 Goal Bounds: you don’t care which team scores — you just need the total goals to be 0 or 1.
So 0–1 Goal Bounds gives a little more flexibility than betting on a specific scoreline.
Betting Tips for 0–1 Goal Bounds
Check Team Styles
- Defensive teams or low-scoring leagues (like Serie A historically or some lower leagues) are more likely to have 0–1 goals.
- Example: If Atletico Madrid is playing away vs Getafe, this market can be attractive because both sides often keep it tight.
Look at Head-to-Head Stats
- If the last 5 meetings between Chelsea and Brentford ended 0–0, 1–0, or 0–1, that’s a positive signal.
Consider Team News
- If the main strikers are injured or suspended, chances of a low-scoring game increase.
Weather and Pitch Conditions
- Heavy rain or poor pitch quality slows play and can reduce goal chances.
Best Time to Use It
- Cup finals or relegation battles — teams play cautiously and often score very few goals.
