“Home Win to 0 1st Half” in Football Sports Betting – Explained with Examples + Betting Tips

Home Win to 0 1st Half is a football betting market where you are betting that the home team will be winning at halftime AND the away team will not score in the first half.

  • “Home Win” → Home team must be ahead at half-time.
  • “To 0” → Away team scores 0 goals in the first half.

Important: The bet only concerns the first half. Full-time score does not matter.


2. How It Works

Scenario 1: Bet Wins

  • Home team: 2
  • Away team: 0
  • Halftime: Home leads 1-0 → Bet wins

Scenario 2: Bet Loses

  • Home team: 1
  • Away team: 1
  • Halftime: Score 1-1 → Bet loses (home didn’t keep 0 against)
  • Home team: 0
  • Away team: 0
  • Halftime: 0-0 → Bet loses (home team didn’t lead)
  • Home team: 0
  • Away team: 1
  • Halftime: 0-1 → Bet loses (home lost, away scored)

3. Example with a Real Team

Match: Manchester United (Home) vs. Wolves (Away)

  • You place a Home Win to 0 1st Half bet on Manchester United.
  • Odds: 2.50 (for example).
  • Outcome possibilities:
    1. Halftime score 1-0 or 2-0 → You win.
    2. Halftime score 0-0 → You lose.
    3. Halftime score 1-1 → You lose.
    4. Halftime score 0-1 → You lose.

This bet is ideal when the home team is strong offensively, and the away team is weak defensively or struggles to score early.


4. When to Bet: Key Factors

  1. Home team attacking strength – Look for teams that often score first.
  2. Away team weak in first half – Teams that usually concede early.
  3. Stats & head-to-head history – Past matches where home team scores early and keeps a clean sheet.
  4. Injuries & lineup – Away team missing attackers? Home team strong starters?

5. Betting Tips

  • Check first-half scoring stats: Some teams score mostly in the second half; avoid betting on them.
  • Use live betting for safer options: If home team starts strongly, you may increase stakes.
  • Avoid high-risk fixtures: Even strong home teams may concede early against counter-attacking away sides.
  • Combine with other bets: For example, Home Win to 0 1st Half + Over 1.5 goals in full-time for higher payouts.
