Half-Time / Full-Time Tips and Predictions - Friday 11th October to Monday 14th October

Augsburg v Bayern Munich – Bayern Munich / Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich have proven pretty adept at taking a lead into the break on their Bundesliga travels recently, doing so 13 times in 20 games, and the German giants have gone on to cash in on 11 of these advantages. Augsburg have trailed seven times at the interval on their own patch during the same period, only managing to avoid defeat in one of these encounters.

Tottenham Hotspur v Watford – Tottenham Hotspur / Tottenham Hotspur

Watford have been beaten seven times in nine Premier League trips recently, whilst the Hornets have lost six of the nine top-flight away games in their last 20 in which they have found themselves trailing at the interval. Tottenham, by way of contrast, have enjoyed a half-time advantage in nine of their previous 20 home matches, going on to win seven of these.

Napoli v Hellas Verona – Napoli / Napoli

Despite the vast majority of their last 20 away games taking place in Serie B, Verona have still managed to find themselves trailing at the interval on eight occasions, going on to lose five of these matches. This does not offer them much reason for optimism against a Napoli side who have converted 11 half-time leads into ten wins during the same period at home.

Sevilla v Levante – Sevilla / Sevilla

Over the course of their last 20 top-flight home fixtures, Sevilla have taken a lead into the half-time interval on no fewer than seven occasions, going on to convert six of these advantages into victories. As for Levante, they have trailed at the break seven times during the same period on their La Liga travels, eventually losing six of these encounters.

Half-Time / Full-Time Tips and Predictions - Friday 4th October to Monday 7th October

Paris Saint-Germain v Angers – Paris Saint-Germain / Paris Saint-Germain

Should Paris Saint-Germain get their noses in front by half-time in Ligue 1 home matches, then recent history suggests that the game is up, with Thomas Tuchel’s charges turning 12 interval leads into the same number of wins across their last 20 fixtures. For their part, Angers have lost five of their last seven top-flight away fixtures when trailing at the break.

Valencia v Alaves – Valencia / Valencia

Having suffered defeat in ten of the 11 away fixtures in which they have been behind at the break across their last 20 top-flight trips, it is easy to see why Alaves cannot afford to put themselves in such a position. What’s more, Valencia have turned seven of eight half-time advantages into home wins during the same period, which is further bad news for the visitors.

AS Roma v Cagliari – AS Roma / AS Roma

Cagliari have a dreadful record when it comes to trailing at the break on their top-flight travels, doing so 11 times in 20 trips of late and going on to lose nine of these matches. As for Roma, they have enjoyed a half-time advantage in nine Serie A home games during the same period, with the club from the Italian capital converting each of these leads into three points.

Rangers v Hamilton Academical – Rangers / Rangers

If the evidence provided by their last 20 top-flight home games is anything to go by, then Rangers will take some stopping should they find themselves in front at the break, with Steven Gerrard’s men converting 12 of 13 leads into victories. Hamilton, by way of contrast, have lost 12 of their last 13 away matches when finding themselves behind at half-time.

Half-Time / Full-Time Tips and Predictions - Friday 27th September to Monday 30th September

Portsmouth v Bolton Wanderers – Portsmouth / Portsmouth

Somewhat understandably in light of their recent problems off the pitch, Bolton have not been very good at responding to adversity on their travels, losing all ten times in their last 20 league trips when trailing at the interval. Portsmouth, on the other hand, have converted six of eight half-time advantages into wins in third-tier home games during the same period.

Tottenham Hotspur v Southampton – Tottenham Hotspur / Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham may be enduring somewhat of a crisis at the moment, but the fact remains that Mauricio Pochettino’s men have converted nine half-time leads into seven full-time victories across their last 20 top-flight home games. Southampton, by way of contrast, have lost on all seven occasions in which they have trailed at the break in their previous 20 away matches.

Everton v Manchester City – Manchester City / Manchester City

Although Everton have only been behind at the break in five of their previous 20 top-flight home games, it is worth pointing out that the Toffees have gone on to lose every single one of these fixtures. This does not bode well ahead of a visit from Manchester City, with Pep Guardiola’s charges converting 12 of their last 13 interval advantages into wins on the road.

Benfica v Vitoria Setubal – Benfica / Benfica

Benfica have proven adept at turning half-time leads into wins in home matches in the Portuguese Primeira Liga, doing so 11 times out of 11 across their last 20 fixtures at the Estadio da Luz. Somewhat worryingly from a Vitoria Setubal perspective, seven of their last eight interval deficits on the road at this level have ended in defeat come the final whistle.

Half-Time / Full-Time Tips and Predictions - Friday 20th September to Monday 23rd September

Norrkoping v Orebro – Norrkoping / Norrkoping

Norrkoping are the owners of an impressive record when it comes to enjoying a half-time advantage in the Swedish top-flight, taking a lead into the break in 11 of their previous 20 home games and converting ten of these situations into wins. As for Orebro, they have lost five of the six away matches during the same period in which they have trailed at the interval.

MK Dons v Southend United – MK Dons / MK Dons

MK Dons have led at the break in seven of their previous 20 home games in the league, going on to claim maximum points from every single one of these fixtures. The situation has been somewhat different for Southend on their League One travels, however, as they have lost all six of the matches in which they have trailed at the interval during the same period.

Brentford v Stoke City – Brentford / Brentford

Over the course of their last 20 home and away games respectively in the Championship, Brentford and Stoke have been exhibiting polar opposite form in one particular area. Whilst the Bees have enjoyed a half-time advantage on seven occasions, going on to win six of these games, the Potters have trailed at the break seven times, going on to lose six of these matches.

Juventus v Verona – Juventus / Juventus

Juventus have enjoyed a half-time lead in 11 of their previous 20 home games in Serie A, going on to convert nine of these advantages into maximum points come the final whistle. Newly-promoted Verona, by way of contrast, have trailed at the interval in seven of their most recent 20 away matches, only managing to avoid defeat in two of these contests.

How Does the Half Time Full Time Betting System Work?

Similar to scorecast betting, this market involves placing a stake on the result at half time and at full time.

It’s important to know that you need to win both halves in order for the bet to win. This means you must predict the score at half time and at full time correctly.

It sits in the category of double bets, but both parts of your stake must be correct.

The precondition is that the game must have a break.

Example

Let’s say Arsenal are in the lead at half time with 2-0 against Southampton in a Premier League match. The full time result is then 2-1 to Arsenal.

In order to win, you would need to correctly predict both scores.

If Arsenal were to end the game without scoring or conceding, this is still a half time full time bet. You would just need to predict the score that let them win the game.

Half Time Full Time Odds

Odds vary depending on the bookmaker or betting site you choose, as well as the football match itself. There are a number of different outcomes to a game, including draw draw or home team win at half time and away team win at full time.

HT FT betting can have some very lucrative returns, particularly for games that are difficult to predict.
