Half Time Full Time Football Predictions For The Weekend - Friday 6th to Monday 9th December
Ajax v Willem II – Ajax / Ajax
Somewhat incredibly, Ajax have enjoyed a half-time advantage in 18 of their most recent 20 Eredivisie home games, with the Dutch giants going on to convert 17 of these leads into victories. This does not bode well for Willem II, particularly when you consider that they have lost on all six occasions in which they have trailed at the break in their last 20 trips.
Manchester City v Manchester United – Manchester City / Manchester City
As might be expected, Manchester City are very adept at cashing in on interval advantages on their own patch, turning 12 half-time leads into 11 victories over the course of their last 20 top-flight home games. Manchester United, on the other hand, have lost five of six away matches when trailing at the break during the same period, which has to be a worry.
PSV Eindhoven v Fortuna Sittard – PSV Eindhoven / PSV Eindhoven
Worryingly for Fortuna Sittard, they have been beaten on all ten occasions in which they have found themselves trailing at the interval across their most recent 20 top-flight trips. The picture has been somewhat different for PSV Eindhoven on their own patch during the same period, with all 11 of their half-time leads being turned into maximum points come full-time.
Barcelona v Real Mallorca – Barcelona / Barcelona
Irrespective of which division they have been operating in, Real Mallorca don’t have a great record when it comes to recovering from half-time deficits, losing ten times out of 11 when trailing at the break across their last 20 trips. As for Barcelona, 13 interval leads have been converted into 13 full-time wins over the course of their previous 20 top-flight home fixtures.
Half Time Full Time Football Predictions For The Weekend - Friday 29th November to Monday 2nd December
Liverpool v Brighton & Hove Albion – Liverpool / Liverpool
Over the course of their previous 20 Premier League home games, Liverpool have enjoyed an interval advantage on no fewer than 14 occasions, going on to win all 14 of these matches. Brighton, by way of contrast, have trailed at the break eight times in their most recent 20 top-flight away fixtures, with the Seagulls only managing to avoid defeat in one of those clashes.
Twente v Ajax – Ajax / Ajax
Ajax have enjoyed an interval advantage in no fewer than 13 of their previous 20 away matches in the Eredivisie, with the Dutch giants going on to convert every single one of these leads into maximum points. Given that Twente have lost five of the seven home games in which they have trailed at the break during the same period, the hosts could be in real trouble.
Admira v RB Salzburg – RB Salzburg / RB Salzburg
Given their recent dominance of Austrian football, it comes as little surprise to learn that RB Salzburg have enjoyed a half-time lead in eight of their previous 20 away fixtures, with the defending champions going on to win in seven of these games. As for Admira, they have lost on all seven occasions in which they have trailed at the break in their last 20 home matches.
Midtjylland v Silkeborg – Midtjylland / Midtjylland
Title-chasing Midtjylland have proven adept at converting half-time leads into full-time victories on their own patch of late, doing so eight times out of eight when they have gone into the break in front in their previous 20 home games. Silkeborg, on the other hand, have lost seven of eight away matches when trailing at the interval during the same period.
Half Time Full Time Football Predictions For The Weekend - Friday 22nd November to Monday 25th November
Borussia Dortmund v Paderborn – Borussia Dortmund / Borussia Dortmund
Over the course of their last 20 away matches in the league, newly-promoted Paderborn have trailed at the break on ten occasions, going on to suffer defeat in eight of these matches. The picture has been completely reversed across Borussia Dortmund’s previous 20 Bundesliga home games, with Lucien Favre’s charges winning eight out of ten when leading at half-time.
Celtic v Livingston – Celtic / Celtic
Not only have Celtic enjoyed a half-time advantage in 13 of their previous 20 top-flight home games, but they have also gone on to convert every single one of these leads into maximum points come the final whistle. As for Livingston, they have lost on four of the six occasions within their last 20 away matches in which they have found themselves trailing at the break.
RB Leipzig v Köln – RB Leipzig / RB Leipzig
RB Leipzig boast a formidable record when it comes to converting half-time leads into full-time victories on their own patch, doing so 11 times out of 11 across their last 20 Bundesliga home games. The story has been somewhat different from a Köln perspective on their league travels during the same period, with seven half-time deficits becoming five full-time defeats.
Kobenhavn v Hobro – Kobenhavn / Kobenhavn
Kobenhavn boast a perfect recent record when it comes to turning interval advantages into maximum points on home soil, doing so 13 times out of 13 across their last 20 matches. Given that Hobro have been behind at the break nine times in 20 top-flight trips recently, losing eight of these games, their prospects do not look particularly encouraging here.
Half-Time / Full-Time Tips and Predictions - Friday 8th November to Monday 11th November
Kilmarnock v Hamilton Academical – Kilmarnock / Kilmarnock
Over the course of their last 20 away matches at the top table of Scottish football, Hamilton have found themselves trailing at the break on 12 occasions, going on to lose 11 of these encounters.

Napoli v Genoa – Napoli / Napoli
Napoli have enjoyed an interval advantage in ten of their previous 20 home games at this level, going on to collect maximum points from nine of these fixtures. It has been a different story as far as Genoa are concerned on their top-flight travels during the same period, with eight of the nine matches in which they have trailed at the break ultimately ending in defeat.
Celtic v Motherwell – Celtic / Celtic
Celtic boast a perfect record when it comes to turning half-time leads into full-time wins across their last 20 top-flight home fixtures, doing so on all 13 occasions in which they have enjoyed an interval advantage. Motherwell, meanwhile, have trailed seven times at the break in Scottish Premier League away matches during the same period, losing all of these games.
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.
