If you take a closer look at a football fixture, say between levanter and real Madrid, the previous meetings ended with over 2.5 goals and both teams to score. Such games are straightforward to predict because there are 90% chances of the fixture ending with similar results.

In such scenarios, the best strategy is going for the goal betting market with the biggest odds.

Reading the team news

For instance, if Barcelona is playing against Real Madrid, there are vital players who, if not present, expectations of the game changes. One such player is Messi. When Messi is injured or suspended, the chances of Barcelona winning the game dramatically reduces. Messi is very crucial who scores many goals, creates chances, and gives the team confidence. It would help if you avoided games where the most important players are missing.
