Over 1.5 Goals

Over 1.5 Goals 

365Banker is a top source for over 1.5 goals today. We bring you a daily selection of matches that fit this call but it does not come from guessing and attempting to select just teams that attack. 

It is very possible for a side to be have a great attacking record and then struggle against a team that defends pretty well. On the flip side, a team might be great with their attack but struggle to score goals. 

At 365Banker, our over 1.5 goals predictions are based on a detailed assessment of how both teams have performed in recent times. We look at their scoring and conceding records, their previous meetings, how good their attack is and the defensive weaknesses of the team they are playing against. 

The goal here is to see fixtures where the available statistics give us convincing evidence that goals will be scored. 

What Is Over 1.5 Goals in Football Betting?

Over 1.5 goals in football betting is a market that requires two goals to be scored by both teams within 90 minutes. 

Except otherwise stated, the two goals are shared by both teams in the match. There are other types of this call like home team over 1.5 goals which means the home side should score 2+ goals and first half over 1.5 meaning that in the first 45 minutes both sides are expected to have scored the two goals needed for the game. 

Consider these examples:

As the examples show, a 2-0 victory qualifies just as much as a 1-1 draw because both results produce at least two goals.

This market is different for both teams to score because it does not need each side to score. It needs the sum of the goals in the match to be 2 or more. 

It is also important to note that the over 1.5 goals number does not include extra time and penalties. 

How We Select Over 1.5 Goals Predictions

There are four important criteria we follow to make sure that we choose the best teams for over 1.5 goals today. 

This is what it looks like: 

1. Both Teams Must Have Scored and Conceded at Least One Goal in Their Last Five Matches

We begin by checking how well they have been scoring and conceding in recent games. Our experts look for teams that have scored at least two goals and conceded once in their last five matches. 

This evidence does two things: show us that the team does score and can’t keep clean sheets - a perfect recipe for over 1.5 goals. A team that regularly scores but keeps clean sheets presents a different profile from the one that scores freely but also lets their opponents score. 

The former team is better for BTTS no predictions. An example is Arsenal that have made it a habit to finish games scoring 1 goal alone. 

1. Recent Head-to-Head Meetings Should Produce Two or More Goals

Historical matchups are our next port of call. This is where we check for how often the match has produced 2+ goals. All their recent meetings must show they are able to score more than two goals comfortably. The more, the merrier. 

For example, previous results such as 2-0, 1-1, 2-1 and 3-0 would indicate that the meetings have regularly reached the required threshold.

1. Teams Must Not Be Lacking Attacking Threat

The teams can meet the h2h check and the 2+ goals consideration from previous matches but still not play out the over 1.5 line because they are lacking attackers. 

If we see that a team’s attacking threat is non-existent either because the coach might consider rotating his squad or because their main attackers are missing, then they do not count for this prediction. 

1. Strong Attacking Teams Should Face Opponents with Recent Defensive Problems

Another important part of our process is to find attacking teams that score two or more goals and match them against opponents that concede at least two goals in their matches. 

That’s a combination that can create 2+ goals in a game. 

Why Our Over 1.5 Goals Predictions Consider Both Teams

The combined goal total means that both sides can influence the outcome of the selection even when one team is seen as the possible dominant force. 

A strong attacking team may have the quality to score twice but their opponents may be focused on limiting chances and defending deep. 

If the attacking team manages to score once and their opponent doesn’t abandon their approach to the game, despite the favorites attacking capability, it could end 1-0. 

This is why our consideration works both ways: how good the attack is and how weak the defence is. 

Can One Team Produce Over 1.5 Goals on Its Own?

Yes, one team can satisfy the 2 goals demand for over 1.5 in a game. 

For example, a 2-0 or 3-0 scoreline wins the bet because the winning team has scored 2+ goals. 

But then if it is over 1.5 goals, it is typically seen as fulltime over 1.5. There are other selections like a team over 1.5 selection, first half over 1.5 selection, and second half over 1.5.
