What Is 3rd Goalscorer?
The 3rd Goalscorer market requires you to predict which player will score the third goal of the match.
Key Points:
- Goals include all goals in regular time (extra time depends on bookmaker rules).
- Own goals usually do not count toward a player selection.
- If fewer than 3 goals are scored in the match, the bet loses.
Example:
Match: Arsenal vs Chelsea
Goals:
- Saka (15’)
- Jackson (38’)
- Havertz (61’)
Winning 3rd Goalscorer bet: Kai Havertz
What Is Correct Score?
Correct Score betting requires you to predict the exact final score of the match.
Key Points:
- Very specific outcome.
- One goal difference changes everything.
- Usually applies to 90 minutes only.
Example:
Match ends: Arsenal 2–1 Chelsea
Winning Correct Score bet: 2–1
How They Relate When Explained Together
When you combine analysis of 3rd Goalscorer + Correct Score, you are effectively predicting:
- How many goals will be scored
- The order of goals
- Who scores at a specific moment
- The final result
Combined Example:
Prediction:
- Correct Score: Arsenal 2–1 Chelsea
- 3rd Goalscorer: Bukayo Saka
This means:
- Exactly 3 goals in the match
- Saka scores the last (3rd) goal
- Arsenal win 2–1
If Arsenal win 2–1 but Saka scores earlier → bet loses
If Saka scores 3rd but final score is 3–1 → bet loses
Why This Combination Has High Odds
Bookmakers price this market high because:
- Goals must follow a precise sequence
- Match must produce at least 3 goals
- Selected player must score at the exact goal position
- Final score must be exact
Even small changes ruin the bet.
