Welcome to our flagship daily category! While we offer several 1.5+ odds tickets (which you can check out at Daily 1.5 Odds), the ticket below is the one we have designated as our top choice for today, boasting robust odds of 1.95.
We are focusing on the 1X2 – 1UP market. For those unfamiliar, this simply means the selected team must go ahead by a single goal at any point in the game (e.g., 1-0, 2-1, 3-2, etc.). This is a great market for backing heavy favorites, as it removes the risk of a late equalizer costing the entire bet, as long as they establish a lead first.
Match 1: Sunderland AFC v Arsenal (Away – 1UP)
The selection here is heavily driven by the sheer gulf in class and Arsenal’s predictable habit of starting strong.
Arsenal is consistently among the top clubs in the league for xG (Expected Goals) per 90 minutes and is known for dominating possession, often seeing figures above 65%. Crucially for the 1UP bet, Mikel Arteta’s side frequently scores inside the first 30 minutes against lower-tier opposition. They treat the opening half-hour as a chance to establish dominance and kill the game early.
Historically, Sunderland has struggled to contain top-tier attacks. While they are resilient at times, the pressure applied by Arsenal’s high press often forces early defensive errors, leading to corners, free-kicks, and eventual goals. The statistics show that when playing against a top-4 side, Sunderland’s ‘Big Chances Conceded’ metric skyrockets.
The 1UP Edge: Given Arsenal’s status as a title challenger, it is highly probable they will score first. Even if Sunderland were to surprise them with an opener, Arsenal’s reaction is swift and often results in them taking a 2-1 or 3-1 lead before full-time. This bet simply requires them to lead at any point, which is a near-certainty for a team of their caliber.
Match 2: Chelsea v Wolves (Home – 1UP)
This pick backs Chelsea’s need to perform at Stamford Bridge and their typical high-scoring home output.
Despite occasional inconsistency, Chelsea’s home scoring record is generally reliable. They generate significant Shots on Target (SOT) volume in front of their own fans. More specifically, they usually find a goal in the first or second half, driven by players seeking to impress.
While Wolves under their current manager are tactically sound, they are not immune to conceding. Their Away Clean Sheet Percentage is significantly lower than their home record. Furthermore, the statistics often show a dip in their ‘Recoveries in the final third’ when playing against possession-dominant teams like Chelsea, meaning they spend long periods defending deep and inviting pressure.
The 1UP Edge: Chelsea needs to assert themselves in the league. The pressure to win at home means they will attack relentlessly. A 1-0 lead is the most likely outcome, but even if they fall behind, their ability to score multiple goals at home against mid-table opposition means the required 2-1 lead is well within reach, justifying the 1.22 odds.
Match 3: Union Berlin v Bayern Munich (Away – 1UP)
While the odds for this leg are bundled into the overall 1.95, it serves as the rock-solid foundation of the ticket.
Bayern Munich’s domestic dominance is unparalleled. They boast the league’s highest Goals Scored per Match (often exceeding 2.5) and the highest xG differential. Simply put, it is a statistical anomaly for them not to score in a game, let alone fail to take a lead at some point.
Harry Kane (or the equivalent star striker) and the supporting cast of wingers ensure that chances are constantly being created. Bayern often establishes a lead through sheer volume of shots and quality of finishing.
The Union Factor: Union Berlin is one of the better defensive units in the league, known for a compact, counter-attacking style. However, history and statistics show that even the most disciplined defences eventually crack under Bayern’s sustained pressure. The 1UP bet here is not about a clean sheet or winning the game outright, but confirming that the most powerful attacking team in German football will lead at some stage. This is a high-probability event.
This ticket combines the high probability of three elite teams establishing temporary superiority, resulting in a lucrative 1.95 total odds. Lock in your bet with the code JG5EST!
