Types of Football Betting Tips
As well as specialising in free bets and betting offers, Freebets.com provides free daily football betting tips and football predictions - specialising in accas such as both teams to score and anytime goalscorers as well as bet builders – along with the latest news, odds, insights and match previews right here.
We cover everything you need to know about betting on your favourite tournament, team or player to keep you ahead of the game and provide the latest betting offers and promotions so you can make the most of our football tips.
Here are the five main categories we look at in our free football betting tips and predictions:
Both Teams to Score Tips (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score (BTTS) betting tips are a great way to add excitement to football matches, and we’ll be dropping our thoughts on these markets now and then.
We’ll highlight fixtures where both sides look likely to find the net - whether it’s due to leaky defences, attacking quality, or recent form trends. Our Both Teams to Score daily column will post daily tips from anywhere in European football and put together into a football accumulator with the top bookmakers to give you the best price on today's matches.
We’ll mix high-profile clashes with under-the-radar games to spot value. Keep an eye out - when we post BTTS picks, they’ll be worth your attention.
Goalscorer Tips
If you’re into goalscorer bets, keep an eye out for our weekly column from our football experts posting anytime goalscorer accumulator tips ahead of each weekend of football action in the top leagues.
We don't do it every day just because sometimes it can be hard to put together a proper acca, but at the weekend that means all the big hitters are in action in the top European leagues and your chances of winning get that much better.
We deep dive into form, minutes played, opposition weaknesses and more to back our picks. Sometimes it’ll be a nailed-on favourite, other times a juicy outsider but they'll be regular weekend football tips at your fingertips.
Acca Tips
Looking for daily football accumulator tips? We’ve got you covered.
Each day, we’ll handpick the best value bets from across the leagues, combining them into smart, well-researched accas to boost your chances of a winning return. Whether it’s a midweek Championship treble or a weekend Premier League fourfold, our tips are based on stats, form, and expert insight.
Expect a mix of match result, goals markets, and BTTS options – all tailored to give you the edge. Save time, skip the guesswork, and follow our daily acca tips for a better shot at landing consistent football profits.
Bet Builder Tips
Get ready for Bet Builder football betting tips designed to give you an edge in our daily column.
Every day, we’ll pick out the best value picks across key markets - goals, cards, corners, player stats, and more - blending form, trends, and match context to build smart, high-potential bets.
Whether it’s a midweek Championship clash or a Premier League blockbuster, we’ll break down why each leg makes sense.
Our aim? To help you spot angles the bookies might miss. Stay tuned for sharp, data-backed selections that turn simple match predictions into crafted multi-leg bets with real upside. Bet smarter every day with our Bet Builder free betting tips.
Card Betting Tips
Card betting tips are an up-and-coming betting market, where you can place bets on individual players to be booked or a total number - often over/under - of cards to be shown during a game. This often combines with a bet builder and can be a useful leg to add on.
As well as the daily columns, we have more Saturday football tips and predictions which can be found every week.
EFL Betting Tips
Gab Sutton is our EFL expert, and he has a track record of producing very popular football tips every week across the Football League. Whether it is an acca, both teams to score or some other niche market, Gab is always looking beyond the obvious with his knowledge and insight an absolute must for EFL fans.
More Popular Betting Tips
We have five regular categories we cover in our daily free betting tips and predictions, but that doesn’t mean we ignore the rest of the market.
We pick out the best games each day - usually based around which games are to be shown live on TV in the UK - and work out our two main betting tips for each game, as well as providing a list of comparative odds on each game so you know you are getting the best betting odds for each one.
In these individual match betting tips, we look at further markets. Here is a look at some of the other popular football betting tips that we cover in our predictions:
Correct Score Tips
Correct score betting in football is high-risk but offers higher odds and rewards. It involves predicting the exact final score of a match, making it harder to land than other bet types.
Research is key—analyze team form, defensive records, and head-to-head stats. Focus on leagues with consistent scoring trends and consider low-score outcomes like 1-0 or 2-1, which are more common. Avoid games with unpredictable teams.
In-play betting can help if you spot a pattern early. It’s smart to back multiple scorelines to hedge your bet. Always stake sensibly - correct score markets can be volatile, so bankroll management is essential.
This is one market that is pretty similar across other sports too, so there shouldn't be too many surprises.
First Goalscorer Tips
First goalscorer betting is all about value and research. Look for in-form strikers, penalty takers, and players in advanced roles - even midfielders with license to roam.
Team news is crucial: if a key forward is benched, pivot fast. Consider opposition weaknesses too—who struggles defending set pieces or against pace? Odds can be inflated on players not seen as prolific, but with sneaky potential.
Don’t ignore defenders in big-price punts, especially those strong aerially. Line-ups and formations change often, so stay updated. Ultimately, small stakes and smart picks are the way to go - it’s a volatile market, but hugely rewarding when nailed.
Total Goals (over/under 2.5 goal tips are the most popular)
Total goals betting, also known as over/under betting, is a popular football market on betting sites.
Instead of picking a winner, you predict whether the total number of goals in a match will be over or under a set line, usually 2.5. Research is key—study team form, head-to-head stats, and recent goal averages. Games between attacking teams often favour the over, while defensive sides may lead to unders. Weather, injuries, and lineup news can also affect goal likelihood.
It’s a great option for tight matches or when you expect goals but can’t confidently back a winner. Stick to value and manage your stakes.
Half-time/full-time Tips
Half-time/full-time betting involves predicting the result at both half-time and full-time in a football match.
To boost your chances, research teams with consistent performance trends—those that start strong or finish games well. Look for matches with a clear favourite, as dominant teams often lead throughout. Beware of inconsistent sides or local derbies, where unpredictability is high. Analyze recent form, head-to-head stats, and injury news.
Also, consider in-play betting for better odds if one team grows into the game. This market offers high rewards but carries more risk, so always bet responsibly and avoid chasing long odds without solid reasoning.
Asian Handicap Tips
Asian handicap betting is a great way to reduce the draw outcome and find better value in football markets.
While we won’t be offering these tips all the time, we’ll occasionally highlight standout Asian handicap bets when there’s a clear edge. From level ball (0) to -0.25 and +1.5 lines, our insights will focus on value, form, and team motivation.
These tips are ideal when favourites are overpriced or underdogs are quietly strong. Keep an eye out for our next recommendation—when the spot’s right, Asian handicap can be a sharp angle. Use these tips alongside your own judgment for best results.
Double Chance Tips
Double chance betting is a smart way to reduce risk when backing a football result. Instead of just one outcome, you cover two - Home Win or Draw, Away Win or Draw, or Home or Away Win.
It’s ideal for tight games or when backing underdogs with a safety net. We’ll share double chance betting tips from time to time - especially when the odds and form make sense - but not every week. Our focus is on finding value, not forcing picks.
When we do provide tips, expect careful analysis from industry experts based on recent form, injuries, and tactical matchups to give you an edge.
Clean Sheet Tips
Clean sheet betting tips can offer great value, especially in tight fixtures or when dominant defences face low-scoring sides.
While we won’t focus on these tips every week, we’ll share them whenever we spot a strong angle - be it a team in top defensive form or an opponent struggling to create chances. From analysing recent stats to digging into tactical setups, our clean sheet picks will be based on solid reasoning, not guesswork.
Keep an eye out for these suggestions in our selected games - they won’t be constant, but when they appear, there’s usually a strong case to back them. Watch this space.
Goal Method Tips
Our Goal Method betting tips focus on spotting value in goal-based markets like BTTS, Over/Under, and Correct Score.
We look for consistent attacking trends, leaky defences, and motivation factors - like promotion pushes or relegation scraps - to guide selections. Expect sharp insight into where the goals are likely to come from, backed by data and recent performances.
Whether it's League One clashes or Premier League thrillers, keep an eye out for our Goal Method picks when the timing is right. Goals win games—and smart bets.
Again, several of these can be combined into a bet builder to make for one bigger tip, but you will often find some of these as a betting tip by themselves as they can offer good odds depending on the selection.
We also look at individual match predictions and previews, providing the latest statistics and football tips on a selection of games every day. These tips can cover any kind of market, from goalscorers, bet builders, cards and more.
