Correct Score Picks

Every prediction we make at PredictZ is fundamentally a correct score pick. Our algorithms and our team's analysis doesn't fall short and predict just both teams to score, or over'under, but instead our starting point is to predict the score of the game.

Implicit in this prediction is then whether both teams will score and whether there will be over or under 2.5 goals. We believe this is the correct way of predicting soccer games, because you can't really predict the BTTS and Over'Under market unless you've determined what you think the score might be.

Other handicappers might shy away from score predictions for a number of reasons. Primarily, exact score picks don't win that often - they're tough to predict, and many handicappers don't want to be THAT transparent in their handicapping.

As you can see above, we predict correct scores, but we also back up those picks with key statistics. If you prefer BTTS or Over 2.5 goals picks, then we've got that too as a filter on our picks today page.

How To Wager On Correct Scores

We've set out some discussion and analysis below to kick off some thoughts around correct score betting. In general correct scores are commonly seen as a straight bet, commonly because hitting a correct score winner is tough.

Sports bettors seeking to wager small but on large combined odds, might prefer to put two correct scores into a correct score 2 leg parlay, as described below. However, your chances of hitting a correct score 2 leg parlay across any two games are generally 1 in 50 or higher.

Correct score betting can also be done through round robin bets such as Lucky 15. A Lucky 15 bet consists of 15 bets (4 straight bets, 6 two-leg parlays, 4 three-leg parlays and 1 four-leg parlay), therefore some sports bettors like to put together four correct score bets into a Lucky 15 because if just one of those correct scores lands then the Lucky 15 bet will at least pay out some winnings. If two land, then you've got 2 straight bet winners and one correct score 2 leg parlay of course, and if 3 or 4 come in then this is certainly a big winning bet from what can be a small wager. Some sportsbooks also offer double odds on one winner in a Lucky 15 as a bonus.

Another way of looking at correct score betting is that if you're consistently betting on correct scores at odds of 10.00, you only need to win one in ten games to break even. Two winners in ten games and you've made a decent profit. With correct score betting you will almost certainly have more losers than winners, but the overall payout should always be considered as a measure of success or failure.

Correct Score Probability

The odds on each correct score are generally set by the sportsbook according to the chance of that scoreline happening. Sounds obvious, but probability is an important consideration to keep in mind when looking at betting on correct scores.

Take a look at any sportsbook and see which scores are the lowest priced bets in the correct score market, and these will almost always be 1-0 to the favorites in each game, or 0-0 and 1-1. This is because these scorelines are more likely to happen. To state the obvious, every soccer game starts 0-0, right? and the vast majority of soccer games, by probability have at least 1 goal, so it makes sense for a sportsbook to price the lower number of goals scorelines accordingly as favorites.

As a general rule of thumb, you can expect odds of approximately 7.00 (6/1) on a 1-0 result to the favorite in a game, a similar price on the 1-1 result (if not slightly lower), and perhaps approximately 8.00 (7/1) on the 0-0 result. Of course, this varies by game and league.

It's also important to consider that as a general rule there are approximately, on average, 2.5 combined goals in an average soccer game. This is why sportsbooks use the under/over 2.5 goals market - because 2.5 goals represents the approximate number of goals whereby 50% of games will be lower than 2.5 and 50% will be higher. With this in mind, some sports bettors also look for value in correct scores such as 2-1, where one team might be favorite to win in a game, but both teams to score is also determined likely. 2-1 scores generally offer odds of 9.00 (8/1) or 10.00 (9/1).

What Is A Correct Score 2 Leg Parlay?

A correct score 2 leg parlay is a bet on two correct scores in two separate games. For your bet to win you must get both correct scores right, and your odds on a correct score 2 leg parlay are therefore the first correct score game odds multiplied by the second correct score game odds.

Let's look at an example - you wager a correct score 2 leg parlay on Manchester United to beat Arsenal 2-1 (at odds of 9.00), and Chelsea to beat Spurs 2-1 (at odds of 10.00). The odds on your correct score 2 leg parlay are therefore 9.00 x 10.00, so 90.00. As you can see, the potential payouts on a correct score 2 leg parlay are large, but equally the chances of landing two exact correct scores are slim. You don't win anything for one correct score winner in a correct score parlay, although there are other round robin bets you can do to cover one winner, if you wished to do that.

While we're on the subject, let's look at the chances of winning one of those jackpot games like Super 6, the 6 Score Challenge, Soccer 6, Pick 6 - where a sportsbook asks you to predict the correct scores of 6 games.

For simplicity let's assume the correct score odds across the 6 games average 10.00 per correct score. In real terms, the odds on 6 correct score winners, each at odds of 10.00 would therefore be - 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10, or approximately 1 million to 1! As you can see, your chances of winning these jackpot games are VERY slim. However, these games are often free to enter, and people DO win sometimes due to the sheer number of people who enter the game each week (and the fact that some weeks the scores for the 6 selected games can sometimes turn out to be quite predictable, by chance).

What Are The Most Common Correct Scores?

It is widely accepted that 1-0, 1-1 and 0-1 are the most common full-time scores in soccer games. The 0-0 result is also high up that list, with approximately 8% of all games ending goalless.

Our friends at WinDrawWin have a running analysis of the most popular correct scores by each soccer league, as well as analysis for all correct scores from all of the biggest worldwide soccer leagues. Their analysis supports the statistics that relatively lower scoring games are the most common full-time scores.

The real learning point here though is that outside of any result between 0-0 up to 2-1 to either team, scores greater than this range are generally speaking, less common.

It is important to remember this when betting on correct scores because the mind of a bettor tends to want to side with big scorelines. Sports bettors like bets on 3-2 scores or big 3-3 ties - perhaps it's the will to see an exciting game, or a bet land at larger odds. These scores might offer big odds, but they don't happen very often.

If you're looking for consistency then it might be best to stick to the most common full-time scores, but if you're looking for a big odds, outside or speculative bets, or you have analysis to back up your theory that a game might be a big 3-3 result, then these do happen, but just not as often.
