Under 2,5 Goals Predictions

    Feeling lost about all the different markets available for football betting? Or just unsure how to get the most out of an Under 2.5 Goals bet? Either way, you’ve come to the right place. Keep reading for the Betting Fellow in-depth guide to Under 2.5 Goals betting.

    We’d like to preface this tutorial by pointing out that this market is basically just a reverse of the Over 2.5 Goals one.

    As such, a lot of the things we’ll talk about here are very similar to BettingFellow’s guide to Over 2.5 Goals betting. A lot of the strategies and factors to consider are the same, for example, only the effects they have on the bet itself are reversed.

    Still, we heartily recommend carefully reading through both of them to get the best idea of their differences and similarities.

    Now, without further ado, let’s start with the basics.

Kalmar - Västerås SK

Beating Västerås SK will not be easy, but we believe Kalmar are more than capable of doing so. The matchup is somewhat balanced, after all, so all three possible outcomes are still on the table.

Out of their home field and heading into this match as underdogs, Västerås SK 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.

Empoli - Roma

The online bookies marked Empoli as the favourites, which makes a lot of sense. Still, we wouldn’t put Roma winning beyond them – not to mention that draws are a strong possibility in relatively balanced games.

The visitors would need to pull off quite a stunt in order to come out victorious. They are severely outmatched in this outing – the 3.90 away win odds alone should speak volumes.

Frosinone - Udinese

Frosinone will have to fight an uphill battle to win this match. They are the underdogs of the matchup – though Udinese don’t have a huge advantage. Still, with the 2.59 odds on a home win, things may get a bit dicey.

Udinese will need to dig deep in order to get past the motivated hosts. An away win at 3.31 betting odds is considered a high risk but that’s exactly why the reward ... read more

Hellas Verona - Inter

With most bookies pricing a home win at 5.74, this is one of the more lopsided matches of the season. Needless to say, Hellas Verona don’t stand much of a chance at coming out on top.

Napoli - Lecce

Napoli are seen as favourites to win this match against Lecce. The betting odds indicate an easy win and anything but a home victory here would indeed be a big surprise.

With a matchup like this, it seems like we already know the outcome. Lecce stand little chance of achieving anything except an appearance. Most bookies price an away win for this match at 7.00, marking an insurmountable difference.

Getafe - Mallorca

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

Mallorca is known for their determination and we expect them to give their all in pursuit of a win in this match.

While Getafe’s previous loss will hurt their La Liga standings, it shouldn’t have affected their confidence too much. After all, they were fighting against overwhelm... read more

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

The visitors are conscious of the challenge before them. To come out on top against Real Sociedad on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy task.

Randers - Vejle

A home win should not be questioned in this game. Randers are seen as huge favourites to register an easy win against Vejle and we recommend you take the generous offer of 1.79.

The odds are stacked heavily against Vejle here, and we can’t see them winning this match. Randers are heavily favoured by most betting predictions – so much so that an away bet is priced at around 4.20. read more

Fakel - Akhmat Grozny

If you’re looking for a relatively safe result bet, a home win at odds of 1.66 is a solid option. That said, Akhmat Grozny may yet be able to pull off a surprise, maybe even in the form of a stalemate.

Though it may not be particularly attractive to punters, this match is at least easy to predict. Anything but a Home Win is probably wishful thinking for Akhmat Grozny, whose victory has been priced at a hefty read more

6th position - 9th ranked

Betting odds can be illusive at times and 9th ranked are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, 6th position should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

The odds are stacked heavily against 9th ranked here, and we can’t see them winning this match. 6th position are heavily favoured by most betting predictions – so much so that an away bet is priced at around 3.72.

7th ranked - 8th ranked

By pricing a home win at around 1.76, the bookies made it clear that 7th ranked are the favourites. Overall, though, the difference between the teams is not big, and the match can end either way.

8th ranked appear severely unprepared for a clash with 7th ranked, to the point of being considered hard underdogs. We would consider even a draw a success, so the long 4.68 odds for an away w... read more

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

The visiting team understands the difficulty of the task that lies ahead. A win against Bologna on their own field would be a major feat, and it is always a tough endeavor.

Lillestrøm are not exactly firm favourites to register three points in this game but we still believe they will manage to defeat Fredrikstad. The odds of 2.25 might sound a bit risky but we still trust hosts can come out on top in the end.

Fredrikstad are not a team that backs down from a challenge and we expect them to give their best in an effort to claim a victory in this match.

Sirius should not have bigger problems running away with three points in this match if they stick to their game plan. However, Västerås SK can be a tough nut to crack and the home side need to be on top of their game.

The visitors are conscious of the challenge before them. To come out on top against Sirius on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy task.

Udinese - Empoli

Though we can call Udinese the favourites in this matchup, Empoli 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.

It’s highly unlikely that Empoli will manage to get some points this round. Udinese are at a considerable advantage, so even a draw would be a success for the visitors.

Udinese’s supporters are hoping for a repeat of their previous outing. The travelling fans witnessed a d... read more

Arsenal - Everton

With top online bookmakers pricing a home win at odds of 1.20, it’s hard to expect anything other than a decisive Arsenal victory. It’s a uniquely one-sided match – which rarely translates to a lot of excitement in the pitch.

It’s hard to believe even the most optimistic Everton fans are expecting them to triumph at The Gunners th... read more

The visitors are well aware of the challenge ahead of them. To defeat Real Betis on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy undertaking.

While Real Sociedad may manage to claw their way to a win yet, it will be quite a struggle. As we can see thanks to the 3.08 betting odds for an away win, the odds are stacked against them – though it’s still manageable.

Akhmat Grozny - Zenit

A mere glance at the betting odds for this match should tell you most you need to know. A home win here is almost an impossible outcome, so it’s not very likely we’ll see solid betting opportunities in the 1X2 market.

We are most likely going to see this match being won by Zenit. They have a solid advantage over their opponents – at least according to the betting odds. That said, we’ve definitely seen much bigger surprises in the Premier League but such a scenario is not enti... read more

Boavista - Vizela

Punters who are looking for a safe bet should definitely consider this match. The home win odds of 1.62 bring great value considering the fact that Boavista are indeed firm favourites to defeat Vizela.

From the current standpoint, the situation is obvious. Given the strength of Boavista and the 6.18 odds given to Vizela to win, it is easy to see that a win for the visiting team would be ... read more

Moreirense are definitely more likely to win, though all three possible results are quite reasonable to expect. This makes it hard to make reliable betting predictions when this match is concerned, though we may find some betting value.

The 3.21 away win betting odds indicate that Estoril 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.

More about Under 2,5 Goals Predictions

    Feeling lost about all the different markets available for football betting? Or just unsure how to get the most out of an Under 2.5 Goals bet? Either way, you’ve come to the right place. Keep reading for the Betting Fellow in-depth guide to Under 2.5 Goals betting.

    We’d like to preface this tutorial by pointing out that this market is basically just a reverse of the Over 2.5 Goals one.

    As such, a lot of the things we’ll talk about here are very similar to BettingFellow’s guide to Over 2.5 Goals betting. A lot of the strategies and factors to consider are the same, for example, only the effects they have on the bet itself are reversed.

    Still, we heartily recommend carefully reading through both of them to get the best idea of their differences and similarities.

    Now, without further ado, let’s start with the basics.

    More about Under 2,5 goals predictions

What Is Under 2.5 Goals Betting?

The name is pretty much self-explanatory. For this type of bet, you’re essentially predicting that the match will end with fewer than 3 goals scored total.

A key factor here is that the actual score doesn’t really matter. It’s irrelevant if the final score is 0-0, 0-1, 1-0, 1-1, or 2-0. As long as the combined number of goals scored during the entirety of the match does not reach 3, the Under 2.5 bet wins.

So why is it called Under 2.5 Goals? There’s no such thing as half a goal in football, right? On top of that, you cannot exceed the number 2, and you must not reach 3. There’s no 2.5 to be found there.

This type of bet was named as it was to avoid any possible confusion about which betting tips win and which ones do not. Were it called “Under 3 Goals”, someone might make the mistake of believing that a game that ends with 3 goals scored would confirm this market. Likewise, calling it “Under 2 Goals” would imply that a tip fails after only 2 goals. And so, an imaginary half-goal was invented to keep things clear and simple.

Similarly to Over 2.5 betting, this market is reserved solely for football betting due to the way scoring works in this game.

Why Bet on Under 2.5 Goals?

This market is extremely popular and has been for quite a while, and not without reason. Here, we’ll list some of the pros and cons of Under 2.5 betting.

To start with, consider that an Under 2.5 Goals bet can only win or lose, much like its Over 2.5 counterpart. There is no third possibility here, so your odds of winning are a base of 50% - specific odds in regards to the teams, league, and match involved not included. As any experienced punter might tell you, that’s already a decent chance.

The fact that this makes any calculations you need to make easy to follow is an added bonus. Over/Under markets are very simple, and even absolute beginners can use them to great effect.

Not having to rely on a team’s performance is also a good thing most of the time. In fact, you ideally want teams to underperform – especially with their offence. You can find more information about this point further down in the tips section.

On the flip side, the returns are nothing to really get excited about. A lot of lower-tier leagues have especially abysmal odds for Under 2.5, often around 1.50. This might just seem like a regular low-odds bet, but remember that at the end of the day there are no favourites for this type of bet. Betting theory tells us that the probability for Under/Over 2.5 Goals really is almost always somewhere around 50%.

Other disadvantages include the fact that an Under 2.5 does not win until the very end of the match. There’s always a chance another goal or two will be scored, so you can’t relax until it’s all over.

How to Bet on Under 2.5 Goals?

Due to their simplicity, there’s not a lot of concerns with the bet placement itself. The results are exclusively binary – an Under 2.5 bet either wins or loses, any sort of inconclusive result is impossible. Thus, the only thing you need to do is pick out a suitable match and select the Under 2.5 market, and you’re good to go.

Notably, the market’s simplicity, decent probability, and low profit margin make it a great choice for accumulator or combined bets. For example, 2 or 3 tips on an Under 2.5 Acca can greatly increase the eventual profits if you know what you’re doing.

Alternatively, combining Under 2.5 with an even number of goals bet is often a very good idea. Think of it this way: for a winning Under 2.5 tip, the total number of goals scored can be either 0, 1, or 2. Out of these three possibilities, two are even numbers. This gives you a 66% chance to pretty much double your winnings if we assume that the Under 2.5 part of the tip is already won. That’s great value!

How to Choose Matches to Bet on Under 2.5 Goals?

Picking out candidates for this market is notoriously tricky. More often than not, you’re betting that the game will not go great for anyone involved. As such, there’s no single trick that allows you to instantly know an Under 2.5 opportunity when you see it. However, we can still offer you some advice about things to look for in a match for an Under 2.5 Goals bet.

As a complete opposite of Over 2.5 Goals (And thus Both Teams to Score as well), you’re looking for defensively oriented teams. Ideally, those teams also often have trouble getting through their opponent’s defensive line.

Also, try to pick matches in which the two teams are more-or-less evenly matched. Such matchups often result in even scores or even scoreless games. Stalemates are, in fact, a good thing for Under 2.5 tips. It might seem counterintuitive to hope that the game will be boring, but that’s the nature of this type of betting.

Where to bet on Under 2.5 Goals?

There are many factors to consider when choosing an online bookmaker. Odds are the least of your worries – you need a reputable, reliable betting site that keeps their customers’ interests in mind and not just the bottom line.

So which one should you go for Under 2.5 Goals betting? As you might already be aware of, it’s not very common for a bookie to particularly excel in a single market. Instead, you need to see what their odds are across the board. You also need to keep track of any betting promotions or bonuses that can tip the scales one way or another.

All of this takes a lot of research – that’s why we here at BettingFellow have compiled a list of all the best online bookmakers. Hopefully, our overview of their various offers will help you make the right decision. We warmly recommend going through the whole list; but just in case, here are a few suggestions to get you started.

Coral. Since we mentioned earlier that Under 2.5 bets are great for combining, Coral is a well-known bookie with a long history. Flexibility is one of their best qualities, not to mention one of the most comprehensive sportsbooks out there.

PaddyPower. This betting site’s customer-oriented business model makes it attractive to beginners and veterans alike. Their customer support is on par with the best of them, and their odds are among the most attractive in the industry.

Betfred. Famed for its football betting offers in particular, Betfair is another obvious choice.

Under 2.5 Goals Betting Tips

Some think statistics take all the fun out of sports betting – but the numbers don’t lie. Stats are especially important for markets such as Under 2.5. They should be your bread-and-butter when deciding whether to wager on a match. Here’s what you should pay attention to the most:

Check the average number of goals scored in a game for the season. Remember to check both teams; If they only average between zero and two goals, you might have found a good match to place your tip.

Additionally, although this is pretty similar – check the percentage of matches in which the teams confirmed the Under 2.5 Goals market (Stats for the Over 2.5 Goals might also be a good indication.).

Ideally, you want both of the above points in Head-to-head statistics as well. Occasionally teams just have issues taking on other specific teams, and might have problems scoring goals against them even though they’re usually much better at it.

But that’s not all. You’ll also want to take a close look at the teams themselves, as well as the match in question. Here are some other factors that might influence the number of goals in a match:

Common strategies. Knowing a team’s playstyle usually just requires watching some good old footy. Pay attention to things like formations as well. For example, 5-4-1 is a typical defensive formation and might indicate a good team to place an Under 3.5 tip on.

Match context. We all know players don’t give their absolute best for each and every game, that would be impossible. Friendly games or matches where the result doesn’t really matter fo the teams’ standings in the league are great for the Under 3.5 market.

Additionally, check details like whether the team’s whole lineup is playing. Key offensive players not participating are a great example of what you should be looking for.

Bad weather or turf conditions are also not very conducive to goal-getting.

As you might have guessed, what you’re looking for is basically the opposite of the ideal Over 2.5 Goals match. Looking for candidates for one of these markets can result in finding a perfect opportunity for the other, so try to stay flexible.

Under 2.5 Goals Betting Variations

The most obvious alternative to Under 2.5 Goals are markets where the number of goals has been shifted upwards or downwards. These typically include Under 1.5 Goals and/or Under 3.5 Goals. As one might expect, these options just change the ratio of risk to reward.

Under 1.5 bets are very hard to predict. If you are absolutely sure almost no goals will be scored, though, they might be used to boost your winnings. Anything higher than 2.5, however, usually has terrible odds for obvious reasons.

Beyond these, some other common variations on this formula are:

Home Win & Under 2.5/Away Win & Under 2.5. This basically combines the classic result bet with Under 2.5. Can be trickier to get right than the Over 2.5 counterpart.

Under 2.5 and Both Teams to Score. Usually, a terrible idea, seeing how 1-1 is the only viable result here.

Under 2.5 and Goals Odd/Even. We mentioned previously why Goals Even is a good idea to combine with Under 2.5. Stay away from Goals Odd, however.

Under 2.5 Goals Verdict

Alternating between Over and Under 2.5 Goals tips to best fit the match in question can be a reliable way of winning bets. If you take your time, study statistics, and have enough patience – these markets are some of the best betting offers available.

We hope you enjoyed our in-depth Under 2.5 Goals betting tutorial. There are many like it all across BettingFellow, so make sure to check them all out!
