“Home/Away & Over 1.5” in Football Sports Betting – Explained with Examples + Betting Tips

What “Home/Away & Over 1.5” Means

This is a combo (combined) bet type that merges two outcomes in one wager:

  1. Home or Away Win → You’re betting on a specific team to win (either home or away).
  2. 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 ScoreBet Result
Man City 2–0 Brentford Win (City win + 2 goals total)
Man City 3–1 BrentfordWin (City win + 4 goals total)
Man City 2–1 BrentfordWin (City win + 3 goals total)

Losing Examples:

Final ScoreBet 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”

  • It gives better odds than a simple match win (1X2).
  • Great when a team scores a lot and usually wins comfortably.
  • Common for strong attacking teams (like Man City, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Bayern, PSG).

Example: Away & Over 1.5

Fixture: Liverpool (Away) vs Luton Town
Bet: Liverpool & Over 1.5

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.
