When an away win is worth backing
An away win tip backs the visiting team to win in normal time, the "2" in 1X2. Away wins are harder to find than home wins, so this page usually has fewer picks, and only matches where the visitors are genuinely the stronger side make the list.
What we look for
- A clear gap in quality, reflected in the bookmaker prices.
- Strong away form from the visitors and a home side short on confidence or points.
- Odds that pay fairly for the extra risk of backing a team on the road.
Lowering the risk
If you like the away side but fear a draw, the X2 option on our double chance page covers both. For the opposite angle, see today's home win predictions.
Every away win tip is settled on the 90-minute result and kept on the results page, wins and losses alike.
Frequently asked questions
Is an away win the same as 2 in 1X2?
Yes. The visiting team must win in normal time for the bet to win.
Why are away win odds usually higher?
Teams generally do better at home, so bookmakers offer bigger prices on away wins to reflect the extra risk.
