To win to nil is a type of wager where you bet on a team to win a game while not conceding a goal. We\u2019re going to explain exactly how these type of bets work, so that you can confidently place one yourself.<\/p>\n

How to Win to Nil Betting Works<\/h2>\n\"to\n

This type of bet is very simple. You are betting on a team to win, while not conceding a goal. If you make this bet, you need your team to win 1-0, or 2-0, or 3-0, or 4-0, or by an even bigger margin, while keeping a clean sheet.<\/p>\n

Punters place this bet in order to get a better return when backing a team to win in the win draw win market<\/a> (also known as 1×2). By adding an extra element to a side\u2019s victory, there is a bigger price for albeit a more risky bet.<\/p>\n

It can be a useful option when you want to back strongly-fancied teams who are priced at short betting odds<\/a> in the regular match result. The win to nil market is thus appealing to punters in such scenarios. It can help you hunt out some value betting<\/a> opportunities that otherwise wouldn’t be there without this option.<\/p>\n

Home Team to Win to Nil Explained<\/h3>\n

Typically, punters will bet on a team to win a game to nil, when they are playing at home. Sides tend to be more dominant in possession at their home ground and therefore less likely to concede.<\/p>\n

In the 2022-23 Premier League season, Manchester United kept clean sheets in 58% of their home games<\/a>, which is more than half the matches at Old Trafford. When playing away games, however, their clean sheet ratio dropped to 32%.<\/p>\n

So though these bet types are riskier than betting on a straight win, it can be a calculated risk. If a team are regularly keeping clean sheets in home football matches, then it can be worth the extra level of complexity, in order to secure the bigger price.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s show you an example, which demonstrates how the odds can be much bigger for a victory in which the team does not concede. Imagine Aston Villa are at home to Chelsea. They are 19\/20 to win the match. If you back them to enjoy a to nil victory, then those odds jump to 10\/3.<\/p>\n

Away Team to Win to Nil Explained<\/h3>\n

It is rarer for an away team to win without conceding, but it is still a reasonably common occurrence. Sides with a strong defensive record may look to grind out a 1-0 away win.<\/p>\n

Then there are world class teams like Manchester City<\/a>. Pep Guardiola\u2019s side kept clean sheets in 32% of their away games in the Premier League in 2022-23, which was roughly a third and almost as good as their home clean sheet record of 37%.<\/p>\n

So backing an away team to win in this market can make sense. Again, the odds will take a big leap. It\u2019s just a question of finding the right opportunity.<\/p>\n

Sometimes that doesn\u2019t mean backing the best team, but a side travelling to a weak opponent. Let\u2019s say that West Ham are facing a Sheffield United team are struggling to score goals. The Hammers are 8\/15 to win away. Add for the Londoners to not concede in that win and the odds rise to 11\/5.<\/p>\n

What Does Win Not to Nil Mean?<\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve spoken about how this form of bet can be successful. Now let\u2019s take a look at how it can lose.<\/p>\n

There are two elements that must come together for your wager to be a winner. You are essentially placing a double of a match winner bet and for that team to also keep a clean sheet.<\/p>\n

So if the team that you have backed either draws or loses, then your bet will be unsuccessful. This can include a 0-0 draw, where your team has kept a clean sheet, but has failed to win.<\/p>\n

Then you have the to win not to nil meaning. That is when the team wins, but also concedes. This can include common scorelines such as 2-1 or 3-2.<\/p>\n
