Correct Score bets are some of the most popular football bets to place, and yet they are also some of the hardest to get right. As a result, the odds – and potential rewards – when you do can mean a decent pay-out in your favour.

What is a
Correct Score Bet?
A Correct Score bet, unsurprisingly, is a single bet on the final score of a game. As mentioned, it is one of the hardest bets to get right, but as a result you will get good odds on each selection.

Usually, the odds are shorter for lower scoring games – 0-0, 1-0, 0-1, 1-1 – and they increase gradually as you bet on more goals being scored.

Why bet on
Correct Score?
While they are the hardest to get right, and you can often be waiting for some time for a payout, thanks to the increased odds available for a correct score bet the payouts are often well worth waiting for.

Providing you bet sensibly, you only need a handful of correct scores to payout each season to finish the year in profit and, as we will cover below, there are plenty of ways to improve your odds of getting a correct score bet right.

Correct Score Tips: Bet types and how to improve your potential returns
It is difficult to correctly predict the exact score of a football match, but there are many ways you can improve your chances of placing a successful bet. Study the form, look for games where less goals are likely to be scored and look at leagues where match outcomes tend to be easier to predict. Let’s take a closer look…

What to look out for when betting on Correct Score
One of the first things you do when betting on the correct score of a football match is avoid picking games where you think plenty of goals will be scored.

Of course, the bigger scorelines will return greater odds and more potential profit, but there’s a reason for that – it’s less likely to be successful. Even if you think a match will be a one-sided affair, with one team dominating, there are so many different variations of how that scoreline – even if you predicted the outcome (i.e. a big win for one team) correctly – could look. Anything, really, above a 3-0 win would be considered a big victory. Will the team step off the gas after building such a lead? Will the opposing team snatch a consolation? The number of scorelines that would be considered ‘high-scoring’ are vast, whereas if you correctly pick a low-scoring game, there are only really four outcomes to look out for.

Low-scoring matches
Study the form book, and if you have found two teams playing each other who tend not to score – or concede – many goals, you have a good starting point for a successful correct score bet.

For starters, a game with few goals will finish one of four ways – 0-0, 1-0, 0-1, 1-1. If you are correct in predicting the low-scoring game, there is a one-in-four chance, effectively, that you will then have picked the correct scoreline too.

The odds are lower for those scorelines, but given 1,782 matches finished 1-0 to either side in the first 25 years of the Premier League – no other outcome occurred more than 1500 times – you can see there are going to be more payouts. For the record, in that period, 1,140 finished 1-1 and 828 were goalless draws.

However, we would advise normally looking away from the Premier League (see below) due to the more unpredictable nature of the league compared to some of Europe’s other top divisions.

Correctly identifying a low-scoring match also offers the chance of a consolation should you bet through Bet365 too – we’ve detailed how to take advantage of their “Bore Draw Money Back” offer below.

But where should you be looking for these low-scoring matches?

Regimented leagues
The Premier League is often viewed as being the best league in the world, by commentators prone to hyperbole, thanks to its unpredictable nature. High-scoring games are common and, as many managers like to point out ‘anyone can beat anyone’. Of course, that bit is true for every league, but in the Premier League it seems to ring true more often.

Instead, you need to find leagues where low-scoring games are common – the German Bundesliga, for example. With teams known typically for their organised defences and regimented formations, just less than 25 per cent of all matches played before the winter break in the 2017/18 finished either 1-0 to the home team or 1-1.

Both teams to score; over 2.5 goals in match
Another popular type of football bet is a combined BTTS/over 2.5 goals in match bet, and when predicting the correct score a 2-1 win is another result worth betting on.

Indeed, in the first 25 years of the Premier League as we quoted above, the second most common scoreline was 2-1 – occurring 1,455 times.

If you choose the BTTS/more than 2.5 goals in match bet, you will likely get slightly lower odds than if you specifically back a team to win 2-1 – and yet it is a relatively common scoreline.

In La Liga, 14 per cent of matches in the 2017/18 season – at the time of writing – finished 2-1 to either the home or away team, while in the Scottish Premiership that total goes up to more than 18 per cent; on average, that means one team every weekend in the Scottish Premiership will win a game 2-1. And yet you can still get odds of around 8/1-9/1 of the favourites winning 2-1 in a typical Scottish Premiership match market.

Picking a 2-1 scoreline can also keep your bet alive for longer than if you back a 1-0. No matter who scores first, your bet still has a chance of winning. It’s no use if it ultimately fails, but nobody wants to be reaching half-time or even earlier on match day having already had to tear up their betting slip.

Pick a score, and stick with it
Once you have identified the potential low-scoring games, it is best to stick with a scoreline when placing correct score bets.

Sure, the chance of every game you bet on finishing with that scoreline is extremely low, but some are likely too at least meaning you will get at least some payouts if you pick your games well. Constantly change your predicted score around and, in actual fact, you are reducing the probability of your correct score bet coming off.

Celta Vigo vs Rayo Vallecano Free Tips

Celta couldn't do more in a 3:1 defeat away to Athletic Bilbao last weekend, after four consecutive matches with no loss.

They might have been bit better than what the result says, however, there's no room for any kind of disappointment as the side still keeps the destiny in their own hands and do look really well recently at home.

After their victory over Real Madrid which kept the chances for them to find salvation, players of Vallecano disappointed in the next round(s) and are now officially relegated to Segunda.

Last weekend, the team suffered 1:2 defeat at home against Valladolid, once again showing huge gaps in the defense in spite of a lot more of the ball possession than what their guests had.

Defender Junca (21/0) and forward Mor (10/0) won't be used by the hosts for this one. The guests probably miss defender Galvez (17/1) and midfielder Elustondo (5/0).

Even though Celta can be fully satisfied with a point as well, there's no reason for them not to go for a victory here. They should be aiming to say goodbye in the best possible way and surely have the quality to do so.

It will be against a side that proved to be so vulnerable at the back and the weakest traveler all season long, probably now just waiting for the season to end after confirming their relegation

Charlton vs Doncaster
Match date: 17 May 2019 | Football - England League One Free Prediction

Charlton looked better and as a more decisive team when it was needed the most, hurting Doncaster in the second part of the first halftime to take the double lead.

They got reduced towards the end, however, are now real favorites to progress in front of the second leg played at home.

Doncaster's ending of the regular part of the season was much more stressful, as the side fight out their playoff ticket in the last round.

It looks like they paid the price of it in the first leg and will now need to chase the victory and a positive result on the road, making their chances much slimmer.

Offensive player Vetokele remains doubtful for the hosts due to a thigh problem. The guests have no fresh injury worries ahead of this one.

Truth to be told, not only that Charlton looked a bit better a few days ago, but they also looked better during the whole season and should be even bigger favorites for this one. I can't see the guests pulling this out now, on contrary
