3 Or More Goals In A Row – No (Football Betting Explained)
This betting market predicts whether any team will score 3 consecutive goals (back-to-back-to-back) without the opponent scoring in between.
When you select “No”
You are betting that:
- Neither team will score 3 straight goals at any point during the match.
- The scoring pattern will alternate or stop before any team gets 3 in a row.
This market is common in “Goal Sequence / Consecutive Goals” betting.
How It Works (Simple Explanation)
To lose this bet (meaning “Yes” happens), one of the teams must score like this:
Examples of losing patterns:
- Team A: 1–0 → 2–0 → 3–0
- Team B: 0–1 → 0–2 → 0–3
- Team A: 1–0 → 2–0 → 2–1 → 3–1 → 4–1 → 5–1 (Team A scored 3 in a row at 1–0, 2–0, 3–0)
As long as no one scores three consecutive goals, your “NO” bet wins.

Best Situations to Bet “3 or More Goals In A Row – NO”
Big Matches (Derbies or Top 6 clashes)
Examples:
- Arsenal vs Tottenham
- Liverpool vs Man United
These matches are competitive and rarely one-sided.
Matches Where Both Teams Score Often
Look for:
- Both Teams To Score (BTTS) trends
- Teams with strong attack but weak defense
This creates alternating scoring patterns.
Teams With Defensive Discipline (Hard to break down)
Examples:
- Brentford
- Wolves
- Crystal Palace
They concede goals but rarely collapse for 3 straight.
Lower-Scoring Leagues
Where 3 straight goals is uncommon:
- Italian Serie A
- French Ligue 1
- Championship (England)
Avoid Betting “No” When:
A strong team plays a very weak team
Example:
Man City vs Luton
Bayern vs Bochum
PSG vs Metz
These teams can easily score 3 unanswered goals.
Teams with explosive attacking power
- Liverpool
- Manchester City
- Bayern Munich
- Real Madrid
They often score in bursts.
Betting Tips for “3 Or More Goals In A Row – NO”
1. Check Team Form
Avoid mismatches.
Look for competitive fixtures.
2. Check Goal Sequences in Past Matches
If a team frequently collapses after conceding once, avoid this market.
3. Live Betting Strategy
This market is excellent for live betting:
- If both teams look balanced → “NO” becomes safe.
- If one team is dominating shots, corners, possession → avoid.
4. Check Line-ups
Missing defenders or key midfielders can cause a team to concede many goals in a row.
5. Safer in Low-Scoring Games
Matches likely to end 0–0, 1–1, or 2–1 rarely see 3 consecutive goals.
Summary
3 Or More Goals in a Row – NO means:
- No team will score 3 consecutive goals.
- You win if scoring alternates or stops before hitting 3 straight.
It is best used in tight, balanced matches or low-scoring fixtures.
