What “No Goal 2” Means
- “No Goal 2” (also written as NG2) is a type of Asian Handicap or special goal betting.
- It means you are betting on Team 2 (the away team) NOT to score during the match.
- If Team 2 scores at least 1 goal, your bet loses.
- If Team 2 scores 0 goals, your bet wins.
Essentially, you are backing a clean sheet for the away team’s opponent.
How It Works – Example With a Team
Let’s take an example:
Match: Chelsea vs Liverpool
- Chelsea = Home team (Team 1)
- Liverpool = Away team (Team 2)
If you place a No Goal 2 bet on this match:
- You win if Liverpool does NOT score at all (0 goals).
- You lose if Liverpool scores 1 or more goals.
Possible scenarios:
| Result | Outcome for NG2 (Liverpool) |
|---|---|
| Chelsea 1 – 0 Liverpool | WIN (Liverpool scored 0) |
| Chelsea 2 – 0 Liverpool | WIN (Liverpool scored 0) |
| Chelsea 1 – 1 Liverpool | LOSE (Liverpool scored 1) |
| Chelsea 0 – 2 Liverpool | LOSE (Liverpool scored 2) |
Factors to Consider Before Betting NG2
- Team Form & Defense
- Check if Liverpool is a strong attacking team.
- Check Chelsea’s defensive record at home.
- Head-to-Head Stats
- Look at previous matches between the two teams.
- If Liverpool has scored in most recent matches at Chelsea, NG2 is risky.
- Injuries & Suspensions
- Missing forwards for Liverpool increases chances of NG2 winning.
- Defensive absences for Chelsea may lower chances of a clean sheet.
- Home/Away Advantage
- Home teams often score more.
- Away teams might struggle to score in tough stadiums.
Betting Tips for NG2
- Use it on strong home teams vs weaker away teams.
- Check clean sheet stats of the home team. If they frequently keep clean sheets, NG2 is more reliable.
- Avoid betting on matches with strong away attackers like Messi, Haaland, etc.
- Consider in-play betting: NG2 can be safer after the first 20–30 minutes if the away team shows little attacking threat.
- Combine with other markets: For example, “No Goal 2 + Over 1.5 Total Goals” can increase value if you expect goals only from the home team.
Quick Recap
- NG2 = Away team NOT to score
- Win if away team scores 0
- Lose if away team scores ≥1
- Best used when home team is strong defensively and away team struggles to score
