Today's Over 1.5 Goals Predictions
TrustPredict offers free Over 1.5 goals tips for selected matches taking place today and tomorrow.
An Over 1.5 goals prediction wins when there are at least two goals scored during the match. It doesn't matter which side scores or wins provided the total reaches two goals.
Examples of winning scores are:
- 1-1
- 2-0
- 0-2
- 2-1
- 3-0
The prediction loses if the match ends 0-0, 1-0 or 0-1.
Even though Over 1.5 offers more options compared to many other betting markets, it is not a certainty. Each match needs to be evaluated separately.
Factors Influencing Over 1.5 Goals Tips
There are several factors we take into account before selecting Over 1.5 goals for our users.
Scoring form recently
We analyse how often the two teams score in their recent games. If a team scores or creates opportunities regularly, it might contribute to reaching the target total of two goals.
But one match with many goals doesn't guarantee a good pattern. Recent performances have to be considered across several games.
Goals conceded
Defense is as important as offense in Over 1.5. Regularly conceding teams may create a situation suitable for Over 1.5, especially if they face opponents who have reliable attack recently.
We look at clean sheets, average number of goals conceded and the quality of the opponents they faced recently.
Home and away form
Team's offensive abilities may differ from one venue to another. Some sides attack more aggressively at home but create fewer opportunities away. Others use counterattacks during away matches.
Comparing home team's offensive abilities with away defense of the opponent helps evaluate the situation better.
Head to head
History shows whether the two teams usually produce plenty of goals when meeting.
H2H is just supplementary info and not a guarantee of a good choice. Old matches become less relevant after changes in the teams' squads, tactics and managers.
Average scoring in the league
Some competitions generate more goals than others. Average goals per game and percent of fixtures ending up with two or more goals may give some additional context.
It's not enough to rely on average stats of the league, as individual teams might behave differently compared to the league.
Team news and match info
Injuries to the key offensive or defensive player may affect our selection. Importance of the fixture, squad rotation, fatigue and motivation may also play role in evaluating a match.
Users should check for any late lineup changes before the kick-off time.
Over 1.5 vs Other Markets
Over 1.5 goals means at least two total goals regardless of which side scores. It differs from several related markets.
| Market | Requirement |
| Over 1.5 goals | At least two total goals |
| Over 2.5 goals | At least three total goals |
| Both teams to score | Each team must score |
| Home team Over 1.5 | The home team must score twice |
| Away team Over 1.5 | The away team must score twice |
| First-half Over 1.5 | At least two goals before half-time |
A match can meet Over 1.5 requirement without satisfying both teams to score condition. For example, 2-0 result is a winner for Over 1.5 prediction but the BTTS one loses.
Responsible Use of Over 1.5 Predictions
Over 1.5 goals may be called as a safer market due to the wide range of possible results. But "safer" doesn't mean guaranteed.
The fixture which is expected to see several goals can end up 0-0 or 1-0 due to missing opportunities, tactical decisions, weather conditions, red cards and other unpredictable things.
When using our predictions:
- Review the info behind each selection
- Check team news before the kick-off time
- Avoid making combinations with too many fixtures
- Compare odds
- Make your stake beforehand
- Never raise your stake to recover a loss
