Tips for beginners when betting on the total

When analyzing the game statistics of clubs, you should separate away and home matches. The latter, as a rule, are played more easily, so they give the home team an advantage. Some teams hold meetings well only at home, and on the road constantly lose.

Also in the process of betting on the total, it is important to conduct a general analysis of the match. For example, some coaches, when playing with a known weaker opponent begin to experiment, letting a lot of players on the field of 2nd squad. Such experiments do not promise a large number of goals scored.
