How to use the over 3.5 goals market

When choosing whether to bet on over 3.5 goals, you need to make a few considerations. In its simplest terms, the bet means if four or more goals are scored in the selected game, your bet wins. However, selecting any game to produce at least four goals isn't easy, but there are specific stats and information you can look at to make an educated bet.

1. Recent Form: check out both teams' recent matches against other sides. Is one of those teams scoring or conceding a lot of goals?
2. H2H Record: Compare the recent matches played between these two teams. Is there a habit of a lot of goals being scored in these matches?
3. Player Injuries and Suspensions: It's always wise to see if any key players will miss your selected match. Is one team's first-choice goalkeeper out of the game? Maybe both teams' top goalscorers or playmakers are injured. All of these things combine when predicting in the over 3.5 goals market.

Research is key when making any bet, particularly one like this. Four or more goals being scored in any game isn't too unusual but more often than not, games produce under 3.5 goals (3 goals or fewer). Combining Over 3.5 goals with different bets in an accumulator can work out well, that way you aren't really on a lot of games producing 4 or more goals.
