What “11+ | Match Shots Outside the Box” Means
This betting market predicts the total number of shots taken from outside the penalty area by both teams combinedin a match.
- “11+” means 11 or more shots from outside the box must occur for your bet to win.
- If there are 10 or fewer, the bet loses.
Important:
This includes any shot from outside the area:
On target
Off target
Blocked
How Bookies Count These Shots
A shot outside the box is recorded when a player clearly kicks the ball towards goal from outside the 18-yard area, regardless of power or accuracy.
Team Example: Manchester City
Let’s use Manchester City because they are known for long-distance shooting from players like De Bruyne, Foden, Silva, and Rodri.
How Man City Typically Contribute to This Market
- They dominate possession → more chances to shoot.
- Opponents defend deep → forces City to shoot from range.
- Midfielders like Rodri & De Bruyne take several shots outside the box every game.
Average Shots Outside the Box (Example Trend)
(Approximate, based on typical team style)
| Team | Shots Outside Box per match |
|---|---|
| Manchester City | 8–12 |
| Opponent (mid-table team) | 3–6 |
| Combined Expected | 11–17 |
This makes 11+ a realistic target in many Man City games.
Practical Match Example
Example Match: Man City vs Brentford
Shots outside the box:
| Team | SHOT OUTSIDE BOX |
|---|---|
| Man City | 9 |
| Brentford | 4 |
| Total | 13 |
Your 11+ bet WINS.
Example Where It Loses
Match: Man City vs Sheffield United
| Team | SHOT OUTSIDE BOX |
|---|---|
| Man City | 7 |
| Sheffield | 3 |
| Total | 10 |
Since the total is 10,
11+ bet LOSES.
When to Bet 11+ Shots Outside the Box
This market is good when:
Teams Face a Deep Defensive Block
If one team defends with 10 men behind the ball, long shots are common.
A Shooting-Team Is Playing
Teams known for shooting from range:
- Man City
- Real Madrid
- Liverpool
- Barcelona
- Napoli
- Arsenal
Both Teams Have High Midfield Activity
Games with strong midfielders = more long shots.
The Match Has Low Space in the Box
Compact matches → long-range attempts increase.
When to Avoid Betting 11+
Avoid when:
- One or both teams create mostly chances inside the box.
- Match expected to be slow or defensive without many shots.
- Heavy rain (affects shooting accuracy).
- Teams with low long-shot frequency (e.g., Atletico Madrid, Wolves, Burnley).
Best Betting Tips for 11+ Outside the Box Shots
1. Look at Team Shooting Style
Check if the team regularly shoots from long range.
2. Check Opponent Playing Style
Teams that pack the box force long shots.
3. Use Live Betting
If a match starts with:
- high possession for a big team
- opponent defending very deep
- early long shots
— then 11+ becomes a strong in-play bet.
4. Midfield Player Info
If teams have midfielders who shoot often:
- Kevin De Bruyne
- Bruno Fernandes
- Rodri
- Maddison
- Odegaard
- Valverde
The chances increase.
5. Weather & Pitch Condition
Dry or normal pitches → more shots.
Wet condition → fewer.
