1. What is 4-5+ Goal Bounds?
In football betting, Goal Bounds (also called Goal Range Betting) is a type of bet where you predict how many goals will be scored in a match, but not the exact score.
- 4-5+ Goal Bounds means you are betting on the match to have at least 4 goals and more than 5 goals.
- Typically, it covers the following scenarios:
- 4 goals
- 5 goals
- More than 5 goals (so 6, 7, etc.)
Some bookmakers will mark it as 4-5 goals, while the “+” may indicate that 6+ goals also count depending on the betting platform.
Essentially, you are expecting a high-scoring match.
2. How It Works – Using a Team Example
Let’s take Manchester City vs Liverpool as an example:
- You check the teams’ goal-scoring stats:
- Manchester City scores 3+ goals per match on average at home.
- Liverpool scores 2+ goals per match on average away.
- You predict the match could end with a scoreline like 3-2, 4-1, or 5-0.
- If the total goals are 4 or more, your bet wins.
- If the total goals exceed 5, you may win even bigger if your bet includes the “+” option.
Example Bets:
| Scenario | Total Goals | Result for 4-5+ Bet |
|---|---|---|
| Manchester City 3-1 Liverpool | 4 | Win |
| Manchester City 2-3 Liverpool | 5 | Win |
| Manchester City 4-2 Liverpool | 6 | Win (if + included) |
| Manchester City 2-1 Liverpool | 3 | Lose |
3. When to Consider 4-5+ Goal Bounds
- Teams with strong attacking stats: Look for teams that consistently score 2+ goals per match.
- Open matches expected: If both teams have weak defenses or high goal-scoring tendencies.
- Recent form: Check the last 5–10 matches for goal frequency.
Example:
- Manchester City vs Arsenal often sees 4+ goals. A 4-5+ goal bound bet can be profitable here.
4. Betting Tips for 4-5+ Goal Bounds
- Analyze head-to-head stats: Teams that historically have high-scoring games are ideal.
- Check team form: If both teams have scored at least 2 goals in recent matches, high-goal bets are safer.
- Consider match importance: Cup finals may be cautious (fewer goals), league games might be open (more goals).
- Avoid teams with strong defense and low scoring: E.g., teams like Atletico Madrid often have under 3 goals per match.
- Look at in-play stats: Betting live after 1–2 goals can be strategic for hitting 4-5+ goal bounds.
Summary
- 4-5+ Goal Bounds predicts a high-scoring match with 4 or more goals.
- Ideal for attacking teams, matches with weak defenses, or games with a history of high scoring.
- Can be combined with other bets like BTTS (Both Teams To Score) for higher returns.
