Sunday 24th August – 20:00 – Bahia v Santos – Bahia to score first

On home soil, Bahia have opened the scoring in nine of their most recent 12 Serie A games. By way of contrast, Santos have fallen 1-0 behind in seven of their last nine trips at this elite domestic level, so our first team to score predictions include the high-flying hosts.

Monday 25th August – 19:45 – Internazionale v Torino – Internazionale to score first

In their last 16 Serie A away games, Torino have conceded the opening goal on 12 occasions. Inter Milan, by way of contrast, established a 1-0 lead in 14 of their 19 top-flight home matches during the 2024/25 campaign, so we are backing them to be first to score here.

Team to score first

A first team to score tip or bet is when you predict that one team will score the first goal in a game. If they do, your bet’s a winner. If the opposition score first, or the game finishes 0-0 and so no team scores first, then your bet will lose.

This market works really well for building accumulators, as the individual odds are generally quite low (similar to WDW market) and all it takes to win is one goal in the right net so it produces real excitement watching the green ticks pile up. That does mean you have to pick carefully as one wrong move could see the acca come crashing down, so it’s important to find the best first team to score predictions.

What does team to score first betting mean?

Simply, which team will score first in a game. You simply bet on the team you think will score first during 90 mins. If you are correct you win your bet.
