Most betting markets ask you to predict what happens in the game as a whole - but Team Goals lets you zero in on just one side’s performance.
Whether you fancy a team to rack up goals or struggle to find the net, this market gives you a clean and focused way to bet on what matters most - attacking output.
At Goals Guru we use Team Goals to isolate mismatches, exploit defensive weaknesses and target data-led scoring trends - without worrying about the match result.
Let’s break it down.
⚽ What Is The Team Goals Market?
Also known as Team Totals, this market lets you bet on the number of goals scored by one specific team regardless of the opponent’s performance.
Popular options:
- Team A Over 1.5 Goals → You win if they score 2+.
- Team B Under 0.5 Goals → You win if they fail to score.
- Team A Over 2.5 Goals → Higher risk, higher reward.
✅ It doesn’t matter if they win, lose or draw - all that matters is how many they score.
🎯 Why Use The Team Goals Market?
✅ More Focused Than BTTS Or Overs/Unders
Target one team - ignore the noise on the other side.
✅ Great For Tactical Matchups
Perfect when one side is in scoring form or facing a weak defence.
✅ Works In Dominance Or Collapse
Back strong teams to score freely - or back toothless sides to blank.
✅ Smart For Same Game Multiples
Easily paired with other markets.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Backing Overs Without Value
Just because City “should” score 3 doesn’t mean Over 2.5 Goals is a good price.
❌ Ignoring Team News
Missing a key striker? Penalty taker benched? Reassess immediately.
❌ Overlooking Match State
Some teams score early then shut up shop. Others explode late.
