Over 1.5 Goals Tips & Predictions

Here at BetIdeas, we regularly give out over 1.5 goals tips. We’re going to explain how this market works, the unique way we generate our tips and where you can place these sorts of wagers.

What is Over 1.5 Goals in Betting?

The Over/Under goals predictions and markets are a popular choice for betting on football games. A number is stated for a certain statistic and you have to bet on whether the game will produce over or under that amount.

This can be applied to all sorts of different elements of a game, such as corners or bookings. The most popular option of all are goals bets.

You can bet on whether a match will produce a total of over or under 0.5 goals, 1.5 goals, 2.5 goals, 3.5 goals and so on. In this article, we’re going to concentrate on our over 1.5 goals predictions and we’re going to start by explaining how this market works.

How Does Over 1.5 Goals Work?

Let’s give you an example of an over/under 1.5 goals market. Take a look below at the over/under 1.5 goals odds for Brentford’s Premier League match with Arsenal.

The odds are as follows:

• Over 1.5 goals – 2/13
• Under 1.5 goals – 23/5

Both Brentford and Arsenal are attacking teams and the goals stats suggest that there should be over 1.5 goals in the game, which makes this option the heavy favourite. It would be a surprise if there were under 1.5 goals, which is why this option is the underdog.

So, what constitutes over 1.5 goals and under 1.5 goals? If you bet on over 1.5, you think that there will be two or more goals in the game.

That covers a 1-1 draw, a 2-0 win for either team and any scoreline that produces three goals or more. If you bet on under 1.5 goals, you hope the game finishes 0-0, or one of the teams wins 1-0.

There are far fewer possible scores that can see under 1.5 goals win, than is the case for over 1.5 goals. For that reason, overs is generally the favourite and unders is normally the underdog.

In this example, the situation is exacerbated by the fact that both Brentford and Arsenal often have high-scoring games.

Other scenarios that can make over 1.5 goals likely to land are one-sided matches between a strong team that are good going forward, against a side that are defensively weak.

Yet sometimes the odds can be closer, with under 1.5 goals more favoured if the respective coach tactics lean towards the defensive.

What Goes in to AI Over 1.5 Goals Tips?

Here at BetIdeas we generate our over 1.5 goals betting tips using the latest AI technology. To generate our football predictions, we use AI systems that source data relevant to the match in question.

When it comes to over/under 1.5 goals bets, such data would include team form, player injuries, the head to head record of the sides and the team statistics for goals scored/conceded.

We use this information to run countless simulations of the football match in question. Once we have an idea of how a game is likely to play out, we can match this knowledge to a relevant betting market, which includes over 1.5 goals.

How to Follow Our Over 1.5 Goals Predictions

When it comes to the timing of our football betting tips over 1.5 goals predictions appear two or three days before the match kicks off.

As we have explained, we need a lot of the latest team and player statistics to generate simulations of games.

With teams often playing games every three or four days, we need the previous matches to have taken place, to ensure that all the stats are up to date.

That leaves us in a position where the earliest that we can publish our football tips is a couple of days before a game. You’ll find that this gives you plenty of time to study our over / under 1.5 goals predictions and place your bets.
