What “Home/Away & Over 1.5” Means
This is a combo (combined) bet type that merges two outcomes in one wager:
- Home or Away Win → You’re betting on a specific team to win (either home or away).
- Over 1.5 Total Goals → The match must have at least 2 goals scored in total (by any team).
For your bet to win:
- Your chosen team must win, AND
- The match must end with 2 or more total goals.
If either condition fails (e.g. your team draws or wins 1–0), the bet loses.
Example: Manchester City (Home) & Over 1.5
Fixture:
Manchester City vs Brentford
Bet Option:
Manchester City & Over 1.5 Goals
You win if:
- Manchester City wins the match,
- And the total goals = 2 or more.
Winning Examples:
| Final Score | Bet Result |
|---|---|
| Man City 2–0 Brentford | Win (City win + 2 goals total) |
| Man City 3–1 Brentford | Win (City win + 4 goals total) |
| Man City 2–1 Brentford | Win (City win + 3 goals total) |
Losing Examples:
| Final Score | Bet Result |
|---|---|
| Man City 1–0 Brentford | Lose (Only 1 goal total) |
| Man City 1–1 Brentford | Lose (Draw, not a win) |
| Brentford 2–1 Man City | Lose (City lose the match) |
Why Bettors Use “Home/Away & Over 1.5”

Fixture: Liverpool (Away) vs Luton Town

Winning Scores:
- Liverpool 3–0 Luton (win)
- Liverpool 2–1 Luton (win)
Losing Scores:
- Liverpool 1–0 Luton (only 1 goal)
- 1–1 Draw (draw)
- Luton 2–1 Liverpool ( lost)
Betting Tip Breakdown
Use it with High-Scoring Teams
Pick teams that often score 2+ goals per match.
- Examples: Manchester City, Bayern Munich, PSG, Real Madrid.
Check Recent Form & Opponent Strength
Avoid teams with:
- Poor scoring form
- Defensive opponents
- Key attacking injuries
Use Home Advantage
Teams like Manchester City or Bayern often score multiple goals at home, making “Home & Over 1.5” safer than “Away & Over 1.5”.
Avoid Cup or Defensive Games
Knockout or derby matches can be tight — fewer goals scored.
Combine for Value
If odds for just “Home Win” are low (e.g. 1.30), combining with Over 1.5 can raise it to around 1.60–1.80, giving better value.
Example of Odds Comparison
| Bet Type | Odds |
|---|---|
| Man City to Win | 1.28 |
| Over 1.5 Goals | 1.22 |
