Betting Tips for “Correct Score 0–1 (17 Way)”
- Study Team Defense & Form
- Pick matches where the away team has a strong defense and usually wins narrowly.
- Example: Arsenal vs smaller clubs often ends 0–1 or 0–2 away wins.
- Avoid Unpredictable Matches
- Avoid derbies or high-scoring teams (like Man City or Liverpool) — they rarely end 0–1.
- Use Statistics Sites
- Check recent results. If a team’s last 5 away wins include 2 or more 0–1 results, it’s a good indicator.

- Combine with Other Bets (Optional)
- Some bettors use “0–1 correct score” in small multi-bets (accumulator) with other correct scores for higher payouts.
