How can I bet under 5.5 goals?

An over 5.5 goals bet is a bet that there will be at least 6 goals in a match. An under 5.5 goals bet means you're predicting that there will be a maximum of 5 goals in the match. Football matches with 6 or more goals are pretty rare – scorelines such as 3-3, 4-2, 5-1 or 6-0 don't come around very often.

Did you know that Troyes’ last 30 home league outings have ended with five goals or under? Did you know that the same has occurred in each of Nantes’ last 49 away? Now that you do both these facts, you should certainly follow up the latest of our under 5.5 goals tips.

Over/Under 5.5 Goals

The over/under 5.5 goals market is pretty heavily skewed – the vast majority of matches finish with under 5.5 goals. So when making a prediction on this market, you can go one of two ways – either building an acca out of likely under 5.5 goals matches with low odds, or really looking for the value bets, those rare games which finish with over 5.5 goals. We’ve got predictions for under 5.5 goals and over 5.5 goals here so you can choose which is right for you.

Over/Under 5.5 Goals Explained

This betting market is fairly straightforward.

If you back over 5.5 goals, you’re betting that at least 6 goals will be scored over the course of 90 minutes. If you back under, you think fewer than 6 will be scored.

Terms And Conditions

It doesn’t matter what the final result of the match is or which team wins – all that matters is the total number of goals scored. If you backed the over, and the final score is 4-2, then your bet is a winner, if it’s 3-2 then your bet will lose.

All goals scored by both sides count, including own goals. Over/under goals bets run for the full 90 minutes. This doesn’t include extra time or penalties. Sometimes, bookmakers won’t offer this market at all, so it’s essential to find the best betting site for you.

Why Is It Popular?

Over/under goals markets are one of the most popular ways punters bet on a football match. Depending on the match itself, there are some attractive odds to be found. It can be a good market no matter whether one team is the clear favourite to win, or if it’s looking like a tight contest – what really matters is how many goals the teams usually score. Compared to markets such as half time/full time bets, it’s much easier to predict. However, this isn’t to say you can’t make good returns. Under 5.5 goals bets do work especially well as accumulator bets though, which can improve the profit you make. This is because their low odds mean that even with multiple selections the odds don’t become so unmanageable that it’s difficult to win the bet. These bets are offered by a variety of bookies, including William Hill. They also can be found across many different football matches, including the Premier League.

Example

Let’s break it down – here’s an example of the type of bets that would win.

Over

Over 5.5 goals means 6 or more being scored in 90 minutes.

So, an example of a score that would make your bet successful would be 3-3, 5-1, 4-2, 6-0.

Under

An example of an under 5.5 goals would be 4-1, 0-0, 3-2, 5-0.
