What is “Team 2 To Score Goal 4”?
This is a special type of football bet where you are betting that Team 2 (the away team, usually) will score exactly 4 goals in the match.
- Key points:
- It’s not about winning or losing. Team 2 could lose 5-4, draw 4-4, or win 4-3 – it doesn’t matter.
- You only win if Team 2 scores exactly 4 goals.
- If Team 2 scores less than 4 or more than 4, you lose the bet.
So, this is a specific score-based betting market, and it’s riskier than general “Team 2 to score anytime” because it requires precision.
How it works with an example
Let’s say we have this match:
Team 1: Manchester United
Team 2: Liverpool
You place a bet: “Team 2 to score 4 goals”.
Possible outcomes:
| Match Result | Did you win? |
|---|---|
| Manchester United 2 – 4 Liverpool | Win |
| Manchester United 1 – 4 Liverpool | Win |
| Manchester United 3 – 3 Liverpool | Lose |
| Manchester United 2 – 5 Liverpool | Lose |
| Manchester United 3 – 4 Liverpool | Win |
You win only if Liverpool scores exactly 4 goals.
When to use this bet
- High-scoring teams: If Team 2 has a history of scoring multiple goals (like Liverpool or Manchester City), this bet is more likely.
- Weak opposition defense: If Team 1 has a poor defensive record, the chance of Team 2 scoring 4 increases.
- Cup games or open matches: Matches where both teams attack a lot are more favorable.
Tips for betting on “Team 2 to score Goal 4”
- Check team stats:
- Average goals per match for Team 2.
- Number of games Team 2 scored 3 or more goals recently.
- Consider the opponent:
- If the opponent rarely concedes more than 2 goals, this bet is very risky.
- Avoid defensive matches:
- Some teams are known for low-scoring, defensive play. Avoid betting on them for this market.
- Use it as part of a combo bet:
- You can combine “Team 2 to score 4” with “Both teams to score” or “Over 3.5 goals” to improve the odds and chances slightly.
- Bankroll management:
- This is a high-risk, high-reward bet. Stake smaller amounts compared to regular 1X2 bets.
Example of a realistic scenario
Suppose you are looking at:
- Arsenal vs Manchester City
- Recent Arsenal games: concede 3+ goals 2 times in 5 matches
- Recent Manchester City games: score 4+ goals 1 time in 5 matches
You decide: “Manchester City to score exactly 4 goals”.
- Odds: Usually high (5.0–15.0 depending on the bookmaker).
- Potential payout: High because it’s hard to hit exactly 4 goals.
Summary:
“Team 2 To Score Goal 4” is a precise goals bet, high-risk but high-reward. Best used when Team 2 is attacking, prolific, and the opponent concedes goals easily. Careful statistical analysis and selective betting are key.
