3rd Goalscorer & Correct Score in Football Sports Betting
This is a combination-style betting approach where you predict:
- Who will score the 3rd goal in a match, and
- What the final score will be
It’s a high-risk, high-reward market because you’re combining two precise outcomes.
What is “3rd Goalscorer”?
This means you are betting on the player who will score the third goal in the match.
Example:
Match: Manchester United vs Chelsea
- 1st goal → Bruno Fernandes
- 2nd goal → Raheem Sterling
- 3rd goal → Marcus Rashford
If you picked Marcus Rashford, your bet wins.
Important Notes:
- If less than 3 goals are scored → your bet loses
- Own goals usually don’t count (depends on bookmaker rules)
- Extra time goals don’t count (90 mins only)
What is “Correct Score”?
You predict the exact final result of the match.
Example:
- You bet 2–1
- Final score = 2–1 → You win
- Any other score → You lose
Combining Both Markets
Some bookmakers allow you to combine:
3rd Goalscorer + Correct Score
Example Bet:
- 3rd Goalscorer: Erling Haaland
- Correct Score: 3–1
Match Outcome:
- Goals:
- 1st → Foden
- 2nd → Saka
- 3rd → Haaland
- Final score → 3–1
Both conditions met → BIG payout
Why This Bet is Attractive
- Very high odds (can be 20.00+ or even 100.00+)
- Perfect for small stake, big return strategy
- Ideal for players who follow:
- Team scoring patterns
- Key attackers
Risks Involved
- Extremely difficult to predict
- Needs:
- At least 3 goals
- Correct player timing
- Exact scoreline
One mistake = bet lost
Smart Betting Tips
1. Target High-Scoring Matches
Look for games likely to have 3+ goals
- Teams like attacking sides (e.g. Man City, Bayern)
2. Pick Key Goal Threats
Choose players who:
- Take penalties
- Play as strikers
- Score consistently
3. Study Goal Timing Patterns
Some teams:
- Score early and late
- Or concede late goals
Helps predict who might get the 3rd goal
4. Combine with Logical Scores
If you pick an attacking player:
- Avoid low scores like 1–0
- Go for 2–1, 3–1, 3–2
5. Use Small Stakes
Because it’s a long-shot bet, stake low and aim for value.
Pro Strategy
Instead of one bet, try:
- Same player as 3rd scorer
- Multiple correct scores (2–1, 3–1, 3–2)
Increases your chances of hitting at least one outcome
Summary
- 3rd Goalscorer = player who scores the third goal
- Correct Score = exact final result
- Combining both = high odds, high risk, high reward
