MarketsGlossary
Race to X goals
Also known as: Race to goals
A football market on which team scores the Xth goal of the match first — typically Race to 2 or Race to 3 goals. Three outcomes: home team gets there first, away team gets there first, or the threshold isn't reached. Useful for fancied attacking teams in matches expected to be open. Distinct from over/under markets, which settle on total goals not who scored them.
