Teams that apply this strategy often play with an energetic and imposing style of play, creating many opportunities from their opponents’ errors. The more exciting the match, the better the ability to create a long series of cross-bets.
In this article, let’s join 20Bets to explore the most attractive cross-bets when the team uses high-pressing tactics.
Understanding High-Range Pressing
High pressing is a tactic in which players press their opponents as soon as they have the ball, usually within their defensive area. The objective is to apply pressure, disrupt their play, and recover the ball in favorable positions to attack immediately. This strategy requires high physical strength and discipline from all players on the field.
The basic point is that when the opponent holds the ball, there are at least three players pressing, including directly pressing, pressing behind the back, and pressing on another player in a close position. This can also lead to fouls if used incorrectly and the player being surrounded is experienced.
Suitable cross-bets
1. Corner kick betting
Applying high pressure often forces the opponent to escape the danger by clearing the ball out of bounds or taking a corner kick. The overbet may explode with the number of corners in matches where the team applies this strategy, which is a reasonable choice.
2. Penalty Card Betting
This tactic not only puts pressure on the opponent but can also cause both teams to make individual errors, leading to cards. Betting over the total number of cards in the match, especially for teams that often play with a strong defensive style of play, is a bet worth considering. However, it also depends significantly on the referee controlling the match, whether this is a solid referee or not.
3. 1st Half Goal Odds
High-range pressing is often most effective in the early minutes of the match, when the players are still full of energy. Betting on the team using this strategy to score in the first half is an interesting bet. Odds of 0.5 or 1 are good odds.
4. Win-all-match betting
If the team using high pressing is rated higher than their opponents, betting on them to win the whole match can bring high odds of winning, especially if they are able to maintain an imposing and effective style of play throughout the match. On the contrary, the 1×2 bet will not be effective if pressing is ineffective in the first half. Not to mention, in the second half, the opponent had to focus on rebounding when the team showed signs of losing physical strength.
Cross-betting strategy
When placing cross-bets to predict events at Euro 2024, choosing a combination of bets to maximize your chances of winning is very important. Betting on closely related odds based on the team’s tactics will increase your chances of success. For example, combining a corner kick bet and a full-time win bet can be an effective strategy when you believe that the team applying high pressure will overwhelm their opponents and keep the pressure constant. However, you should not bet on over-corners and over-goals, because often these two factors are opposite. Likewise, limit playing over the first half, combined with overcards.
Consistency and discipline
A high-pressing strategy requires a consistent and disciplined team. This is not only important for the players on the field but is also essential to your approach when placing bets. Always monitor your team’s performance before and during the match to ensure that their strategy remains in line with your expectations. Recent historical data, outside of previous Euro prediction data, is the most comprehensive view of whether this team is actually playing this strategy well or if it is just an experiment.
Track Odds Changes
The odds can change significantly as the match progresses, especially in matches that use high pressing tactics, as the team can apply pressure and create large fluctuations on the field. Monitoring these changes can help you adjust or place additional bets when necessary, taking advantage of opportunities when the odds are favorable.
Cross-betting can be an interesting and potential way to increase your enjoyment and profit potential when betting on Euro 2024.
