Advanced Bets for Women’s Football

Most of the leagues and tournaments in women’s football were only established twenty or thirty years ago, but despite this, they have a large following that is growing at a quick pace. Players such as Marta Vieira da Silva, Mia Hamm, Michelle Akers, and Birgit Prinz, as well as current players such as Ada Hegerberg, Alexia Putellas and Pernille Harder have all helped popularise women’s football in their national countries as well as around the world.

Fans who want to place bets on their favourite teams will have a huge selection of bets to choose from for each match. These will include some of the more standard bets such as game result, double chance, halves, total goals and handicaps, but there will also be some advanced bets. These bets can be fun for anyone to try out, but for punters who want to win they can be quite tricky to predict, which is why they are considered advanced.

Outrights

These bets are not related to the winners of a match, but are on which team will win the league or tournament. Odds will be offered on all teams, and punters will be able to place bets on which team they think will win in the upcoming season even before the season has started. Outrights may also be available for players’ performances during a season. These may include bets such as which player will score the most goals in the league, or which player will win the player of the tournament award.

Match Result Related Bets

In addition to the standard bets such as game result, halves result and handicap bets, punters will be able to bet on the match to end with even more specifics. There may be bets such as which team will win the game and what the exact margin will be, which team will win and how many goals they will score, correct score prediction, will a team win after going behind and many more. These bets are not easy to predict, but in return they come with some lengthy odds.

Event Related Bets

There may be bets offered on certain match events. These may include bets such as which team will open the scoring, will a team keep a clean sheet, will there be a penalty in the game, which team will score the last goal, and more.

Player Specials

For some games there may be bets offered that relate to individual players. There are many player bets that punters can use to back their favourite players including will a player open the scoring, will a player score at any point during the game, will a player assist and so on.

Live Bets

Whilst watching a game, there may be a selection of live bets available. These can include which team will score next, will the next goal come from a corner, will there be another goal, and so on. It is always worth checking to see what live bets there are during a game because they can be extremely fun to place.

How To Research Bets

Doing some research before placing a bet can definitely improve a bettor's chance of winning. Researching a bet can be just as useful for newcomers as it can be to fans who watch their teams play every single week.

A factor that is mentioned a lot in football is home advantage. Usually, teams will be able to perform better in their home stadium because they will not have to travel, and they will be playing in the same conditions that they train in, not to mention the additional factor of having the support of their fans during a game.

There are also instances where teams struggle at home simply because of the enormous pressure of playing at home. This is why it can be worth checking how well the home team has performed in their previous games at home, as well as how the away team has performed in their recent games away.

Looking at the line-ups of both teams in their most recent outings can also indicate which team plays with more consistency. When a team makes frequent changes to their team, such as 5 or 6 changes to the starting line-up for successive games, this can be a bad sign. It may mean that the manager is struggling to find their best players. It can also be a bad sign if a manager makes too few changes, as players will eventually tire if they keep playing full matches every week. When checking the line-ups, punters should also try to compare the squad depth of both teams, as some teams will have a better choice of substitutions for a game, whereas others may not have many options for replacing their main strikers, midfielders or defenders.

Statistics such as how many goals each team scored during their last games and how many they conceded is definitely a good way to get an idea of how good the teams’ attacking and defensive players are. Punters can take their research even further by checking how many shots the teams had on goal, what their conversion rates are, and whether they scored their goals from set pieces or during play. To get a more detailed analysis of the teams’ defence, it is worth checking how many interceptions, blocked shots, tackles and duels were won by the teams, and also how many shots were saved by the keeper.

By carefully examining all these factors, you will hopefully be placing better-informed and therefore, more successful bets.
