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.

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
