Over 3,5 Goals Predictions

    Football betting has never had a shortage of different markets. Top online bookmakers offer sometimes more than 300 different things to bet on for select events. However, knowing how to use football betting markets – and, more importantly, how to use them effectively – takes a lot of know-how.

    That is why Betting Fellow is here to help. We’ll break down different markets so you can get started with Over 3.5 betting even if you’re a complete beginner.

    A small disclaimer, though: in a lot of ways, Over 3.5 betting is very similar to the Over 2.5 market, as you might have guessed. Honestly, it’s more of a variation on Over 2.5 than anything else.

    With that in mind, a lot of our Over 3.5 betting advice will be very similar to what we wrote over on Betting Fellow’s Over 2.5 betting guide. However, we will try to analyse how to shifted lines affect the thought process and betting strategies. As such, we recommend you get familiar with both of these articles to get the most complete picture.

    With that out of the way, let’s get right into our Over 3.5 betting guide.

The latest Over 3,5 Goals predictions

10/04/2023

Rosenborg - Viking

By pricing a home win at around 2.10, the bookies made it clear that Rosenborg are the favourites. Overall, though, the difference between the teams is not big, and the match can end either way.

The matchup this Monday is rather one-sided, with Viking seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 4.50, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

It will be interesting to see if Viking manage to beat this odds in this, the second cla... read more

Dundee United - Hibernian

A home win would be a big surprise in this match. Dundee United are the underdogs here and it will be a huge surprise if they end up grabbing a win here.

With a price of 2.15 on them winning, Hibernian should definitely feel more confident going into this match. Of course, the difference is not insurmountable, so we’d say a draw is quite likely as well.

Liverpool - Arsenal

The visitors are aware of the challenge that awaits them. To come out on top against Liverpool on their own field would be a major achievement, and it is always a tough task.

Out of their home field and heading into this match as underdogs, Arsenal would need to play their best to have a hope of winning. That said, even a draw would be a positive outcome, and all three results are quite possible.

Celtic - Rangers

The home team is the obvious choice for anyone looking to bet on favourites. The match is not completely one-sided, though, which is why you may actually get worthwhile returns.

The odds are stacked heavily against Rangers here, and we can’t see them winning this match. Celtic are heavily favoured by most betting predictions – so much so that an away bet is priced at around 4.60.

The hosts went into their previous Premiership matchup as the absolute favourites and did not ... read more

Ross County - Celtic

A home win is not something we would recommend betting on at the odds of 17.00 – but you’re probably aware of that already. It would take a miracle for Ross County to pull off even a draw, let alone a win as underdogs.

A victory for Celtic seems so predictable here that making such a bet is not likely to net you any sort of profit. Priced at 1.17 with top bookies online, it’s the obvious outcome, and it would be a small miracle to see anything else.

Girona - Espanyol

Though we can call Girona the favourites in this matchup, Espanyol are not about to make it easy for them. It’s gearing up to be an exciting match overall, and no outcome can be ruled out at this point.

The matchup this Saturday is rather one-sided, with Espanyol seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 4.30, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

Malmö FF - Kalmar

We don’t expect Malmö FF to have any issues beating Kalmar. The hosts are largely favoured by all the top bookmakers online and 1.62 might actually be a good-value bet to consider. The visitors are not to be underestimated but on this particular instance the home side are seen as clear winners.

From the current viewpoint, the situation is unambiguous. Considering the strength of Malmö FF and the 6.80 odds given to Kalmar to win, it is easy to see that a win for the visiting team wo... read more

Cercle Brugge - Kortrijk

A home win should not be questioned in this game. Cercle Brugge are seen as huge favourites to register an easy win against Kortrijk and we recommend you take the generous offer of 1.68.

Considering what they’re up against, Kortrijk can’t set their ambitions too high in this match. Playing as visitors at odds of 5.20 for an away win, calling them underdogs seems like an understatement.

Cercle Brugge are coming off from a Genk draw in the Pro League. It was a difficult game ... read more

Bayer Leverkusen - Bayern München

Bayer Leverkusen are the definition of underdogs in this fixture. With betting odds of 5.00, no punter will dare backing them up against Bayern München. It is a wise decision as well as hosts will have an extremely difficult task surviving this clash.

Considering the balance of power in this match, it seems that a draw may be the extent of the home team’s ambition. The Bavarians are at a clear advantage, which is reflected in the 1.60 odds for an away win 1X2 bet.

Aberdeen - Hearts

Though the home team can be called favourites, they can’t quite relax going into the match at Hearts. Their advantage is quite narrow, and just a few mistakes could end up costing them the game.

The visiting team is cognizant of the task before them. A victory over Aberdeen on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy feat.

Aberdeen are coming on the back of a 1:3 in an away game, so they must be feeling confident. The first half against D... read more

Celtic - Hibernian

With the 1.20 odds on a home win, there’s little doubt that Celtic will win the match on Saturday. Hibernian winning would be one of the biggest upsets of the season, but we wouldn’t hold our breaths for that to happen.

Hibernian are massive underdogs and will be extremely lucky to avoid complete annihilation at the hands of Celtic.

Both online bookmakers and betting predictions expected Celtic to easily win their most recent Premiership bout – which they did, with quite ... read more

PSV - SC Cambuur

With the betting odds being what they are, an SC Cambuur win or even a draw would be incredibly surprising. PSV are very hard favourites and their victory seems almost inevitable.

SC Cambuur stand next to no chance at beating the hosts in this match. For instance, most bookies online offer odds of 21.00 for an away win, indicating a very small chance of success.

PSV are here on the back of a narrow 0:1 victory at RKC Waalwijk, which was hardly unexpected. They played that matc... read more

Genk - Union Saint-Gilloise

Though Genk are the favourites between these two teams, this is a fairly balanced matchup. All three possible outcomes of a Result bet are quite possible, which at least means we may get to see an exciting game.

The task ahead is well-known to the visiting team. Defeating Genk on their own field would be a major accomplishment, and doing so is always challenging.

Anderlecht - Cercle Brugge

Though Anderlecht are more likely to win this, an away win would only be slightly surprising. It’s a relatively balanced matchup, which usually means we’ll see some exciting football.

The 3.50 away win betting odds indicate that Cercle Brugge are the underdogs of this matchup. The difference is not huge, though, so both a victory for the visitors and are draw are still on the table.

A Gent defeat is something Anderlecht want to make a swift return from. This narrow loss fr... read more

Paços de Ferreira - Santa Clara

With the odds slightly in the hosts’ favour, they have a decent shot at walking away with 3 points. Still, Santa Clara can pull off both a win or a draw, so the hosts can’t afford to let their guard down.

Given their reputation for perseverance, we expect Santa Clara to give their best effort in this match.

It’s hard to judge Paços de Ferreira’s form based on their most recent performance at Casa Pia . Even though they suffered a narrow 2:1 loss, the opposing team was ... read more

The visiting team knows the task they face will not be easy. Beating Hertha BSC on their own turf would be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

Mainz 05 are regarded as favourites, but that doesn’t mean they can relax. With an almost negligible difference in the perceived strength of these two teams, sub-standard play is a recipe for disaster.

Although Hertha BSC are coming on the back of a harsh 4:1 loss, it would be rather unfair to judge them pu... read more

The visitors are aware of the challenge that awaits them. To come out on top against Giresunspor on their own field would be a major achievement, and it is always a tough task.

2.32 on an away match is what many punters run away from but Fatih Karagümrük are a team capable of big things. Therefore, backing them in this match might not be a bad idea after all.

What Is Over 3.5 Goals Betting?

As mentioned previously, the Over 3.5 market is the same as Over 2.5, except there’s a higher line of how many goals a match needs for the bet to win. However, in case you’re not familiar with Over/Under markets at all, we’ll start by explaining what Over 3.5 Goals means in betting.

For this type of bet, you’re essentially predicting that the total number of goals scored in a football match will be 4 or more. This total score is the only thing that should interest you with an Over 3.5 bet. Importantly, it does not matter which team scored them, which team won (or if it ended in a draw) or how and when the goals were scored. If the numbers on the scoreboard at the end of a match add up to 4 or more, you’ve won the bet.

Alternatively, you could bet on the final score being lower than 4. However, this is a separate market called Under 3.5 Goals. This market has it’s own article so we won’t talk about it too much here – however, there are obvious parallels between the two. For example, most of the betting tips we provide here can just be applied in reverse.

For now, though, let’s address the number 3.5. It seems strange at first glance because you cannot score half a goal in football. And, as we’ve mentioned, the actual number of goals you need for a winning Over 3.5 bet is 4. There’s a very practical idea about this: the half-point was done to avoid any confusion. If it were called Over 3 Goals, for example, one could easily misinterpret what happens if exactly 3 goals are scored. This way, you can always be sure whether your bet won or not – and the same goes for your bookie.

Also, you’ll notice we only mentioned football betting so far. This market was specifically made for football’s scoring system. After all, betting that there will be more than 3 points in a basketball match wouldn’t be too exciting, right? There are similar Over X markets for other sports, and they all adhere to the same principles. However, for this article, we’ll stick to football.

Why Bet on Over 3.5 Goals?

As you might have guessed, Over 3.5 is not a market you should bet on just every match. Not a lot of football matches end with this many goals, so the bet seems like a long shot. However, there are very good reasons why people bet on them, and we’ll go through some of them.

First, let’s go through some Over 3.5 Goals bet advantages.

  • One of the main reasons punters opt for over 3.5 is the long odds. Statistically, the chances of a match confirming Over 3.5 are not great. This is reflected in the great returns you’ll get if you do manage to predict correctly.
  • To make matters a little better, this market has a distinct advantage of having a binary result. What does this mean, exactly? Well, an Over 3.5 bet can only win or lose. That means that the statistical chances for your bet winning are 50%. Of course, it’s rarely that high because of the actual odds of the bey and the implied probabilities. However, compare this to a classic 1X2 bet.
  • At its heart, this type of bet has a 33% chance of winning because there is always a chance of a draw. Smart betting is all about statistics, so you shouldn’t overlook this fact.
  • Another advantage is that Over 3.5 bets have a chance of winning until the very end. Again, let's compare this to a 1X2 bet. If your team is losing by 2 points on half-time, you can't still hope to win in the end. However, there is always a chance of one of the teams scoring some more. An Over 3.5 bet is not over until the match is over.
  • Furthermore, there is a chance of the opposite happening. If 4 goals are scored before the match is over, you can relax knowing that there is no way for your bet to fail anymore. This is a nice change compared to most other markets for which things can theoretically be turned around at any point.

Of course, there are also some down-sides to consider. Here are some Over 3.5 goals disadvantages.

  • We’ve mentioned it a few times now, but this can’t be stressed enough: Over 3.5 is far from a safe bet. If we don’t take into account low-tier leagues and outlying teams, a very small percentage of matches end with this many goals.
  • Figuring out a good Over 3.5 prediction takes a lot of work. Just a glance at the stats is not enough – you’ll have to be prepared to dig through a lot of relevant information.
  • Considering the nature of this betting type, they should not be used as anything other than singles. An Over 3.5 Accumulator or multiple is a terrible idea.

How to Bet on Over 3.5 Goals?

There’s not a lot of nuance to how an Over 3.5 Goals bet is placed. As we mentioned earlier, this bet can only win or fail, there aren’t any additional options. As such, if you want to bet on Over 3.5 Goals – just add the bet to your slip, confirm it, and you’re done.

The only thing’s we would add is that you should carefully consider Over 2.5 Goals vs Over 3.5 Goals. Essentially, placing this bet is not a choice between several options – it’s a choice which market you want to be on in the first place. With that in mind, weigh your options carefully. Maybe an Under market would be better for the current situation, for example.

Our point is that you need to be careful about when, why, and how you’re placing an Over 3.5 bet. Which brings us to our next topic.

How to Choose Matches to Bet on Over 3.5 Goals?

Now we’ll further elaborate on what we meant when we said this market requires a lot of research.

Luckily, the information relevant for Over 3.5 is shared with several other markets – not only Over 2.5 and Over 1.5 but also Both Teams to Score.

The first thing you want to look for are, as always, the teams. You’re looking for teams that score often, but whose defence has some issues. In contrast to Over 2.5, you’ll want to push this idea as far as you can. For instance, you’ll want both teams to tick these boxes.

Now you might be wondering – but if it doesn’t matter who scored the goals, why do you need two such teams? Well, for starters, that doubles the chances of the teams scoring or conceding goals. And in a long-odds bet such as Over 3.5, you want to press every advantage.

Furthermore, two such teams lessen the unpredictability of such matches. Every team has good days and bad days. You can’t predict this reliably – but one team’s goal-getters having an off day is significantly more likely than two teams’. If you also take into account that they are playing each other and how this might affect morale, it should be easy to understand our reasoning.

To that end, try to figure out team strategies as well as the statistics. You want aggressive teams, which usually means aggressive formations and a heavy focus on acquiring the best attackers, ideally to the detriment of their defensive line.

Furthermore, records show us that the best teams for Over 3.5 betting rarely come from top-tier or international leagues. You’ll want to look for smaller and lower-profile matches. For example, the best League for Over 3.5 betting in Germany is the Oberliga Bremen. This is the fifth-tier league of the German football league system, one of fourteen of its kind. Like we said: low profile.

As a bonus, such leagues are also great places to hunt for value bets. This fact, combined with the relatively low popularity of this market, means that Over 3.5 value betting is a completely viable approach.

Where to bet on Over 3.5 Goals?

Of course, finding a betting site which even features these minor matches is not that easy – not to mention if you also want decent odds. Picking the best online bookmaker you can has always been important, but we feel that this goes double if Over 3.5 Goals is a market you’re interested in.

If you want to find a betting site to suit your needs, Betting Fellow can help you with that as well. We recommend checking out our best betting sites list, as well as the numerous bookmaker ratings and reviews you can find throughout our website.

For now, we’ll list some of the best online bookmakers for Over 3.5 betting to help get you started.

Over 3.5 Goals Betting Tips

Now, let’s go over some additional bits of advice that might help you make a good Over 3.5 betting predictions.

For starters, here are some statistics you might want to look up:
  • The average number of goals the two teams made throughout the season.
  • The percentage of games in which the teams confirmed the Over 3.5 market. Looking up the same for Over 2.5 might be useful as well
  • Head-to head stats. For instance, some teams have issues playing against the offensive tactics of another team in the league. These types of weaknesses are what you’re looking to exploit. Ideally, this will be with an otherwise strong team. Such an Over 3.5 Goals opportunity can provide great returns.

Beyond that, we also have some Over 3.5 betting advice which doesn't fit in our previous sections.

Advanced:
  • Keep up with team histories and news. You don’t want to end up placing an Over 3.5 Goals bet on a match where the main offensive players are injured.
  • Pay attention to the match context. The more important a match is – the more likely a team is to give their best and score often.
  • Look up details such as weather and turf conditions. Again, this is a hard type of bet, and you want every advantage you can get.

Over 3.5 Goals Betting Variations

In addition to Over/under 1.5 and 2.5, there are some other markets which include Over 3.5 and are regularly featured with top betting sites.

  • Home/Away Win and Over 3.5. This is a combination of a 1X2 bet and an Over 3.5 bet. You need to win both parts if you want a return.
  • Over/Under 3.5 and Both Teams to Score. You’re betting that not only will there be more than 4 goals, but that neither team will finish with a score of 0.

Over 3.5 Goals Verdict

So there you have it, that’s pretty much all you need to know about Over 3.5 Goals betting, and then some. We can all agree that this is not a particularly beginner-friendly market and that it carries a lot of risks. But then again, all sports betting does, and it’s up to the punter to manage that risk.

However, having at least some basic knowledge about all the possible options is always a good idea. Over 3.5 is not a type of bet you’ll be making every single day – but when a good opportunity presents itself, a perceptive, patient bettor can profit greatly. So – have patience, keep learning, and good luck!
