Everyone will have opinions on how to bet on the match-winner/match odds/1*2 market in a football match. As none of the football betting methods is well-balanced, what should we consider before selecting where to invest our money?

Head-to-head in football betting

Any oddsmaker will tell you that this is the most crucial aspect to consider. Managers and players change over time, yet despite these continual changes, head-to-head records remain remarkably stable. In the event of a Manchester United v Bournemouth match, it’s no surprise that United, the perennial title candidate, has nearly always defeated the little South-Coast outfit. Even among teams that appear to be comparable in terms of quality, one usually outperforms the other. It may be the way they play or the fact that they’ve beaten them previously.

Current form

Whether you’re a tennis player, golfer, or racehorse, your present form is essential. In football, it’s the same. Winning, or at the very least avoiding losing, becomes second nature. Whether it’s the striker who has sky-high confidence and refuses to think he’ll miss his next opportunity or the well-organized back four who have been maintaining plenty of clean sheets. Playing well at any point in time can increase your chances of winning your next match.

Home advantage

It is self-evident to some extent, but it should not get disregarded in แทงบอลออนไลน์. After all, not having to travel and being able to play in front of your supporters on a pitch you know thoroughly and out must be a huge plus. In the 2016/17 Premier League season, the home side won 49 percent of games, the away team 29 percent, and 22 percent of games ended in stalemates.

However, take a hard look at the individual teams. Burnley, for example, finished 16th overall but ninth in terms of home form, winning 52 percent of their matches at Turf Moor. In terms of away form, they were 19th. Because of their low league position, they were frequently placed more odds at home, even though their home form predicted they’d win every other match.

However, just because a team has home comforts does not mean they are significantly better off. Crystal Palace scored one point more away than at home in 2016/17, making them a team to avoid at Selhurst Park but one to value on the road to reduce loss.

Momentum and motivation are essential.

Motivation is a different beast altogether, but one that you would be crazy to overlook when betting on football. A team fighting for a Champions League position on the last day of the season is more motivated than one in tenth place playing for nothing. Similarly, how motivated is a squad that has lost its first two World Cup matches and is on the upcoming aircraft home regardless of what happens in the final game?

Individual player motivation should also not get overlooked. Players who are playing against their former clubs are usually up for it. People leaving the club on a free transfer at the end of the season are likely to be less concerned about going the additional mile.
