First team to score explained
First team to score asks which side opens the scoring. Bookmakers often list it as "first goal" or "team to score first", with "no goal" as the third option.
Only the first goal matters – the side that scores it can still lose the game. If the match ends 0–0, every team pick loses and only "no goal" pays.
Where first team to score makes sense
We work it out from both teams' expected goals: the side expected to create more chances is more likely to break the deadlock. We list a game only when one team has at least a 42% chance of scoring first.
Checklist
- Strong home sides that start quickly are the most reliable first scorers.
- A favourite at a short win price is often better value in this market.
- Remember the 0–0 risk – in tight, low-scoring games it can be one result in ten.
Where these chances come from
Each percentage is read from the ZoraTips score grid, built from our nightly team ratings and expected goals, with the bookmakers' lines folded in for late team news. If a bookmaker pays more than our fair price (100 ÷ the percentage), the pick carries value too. The full method is on how it works.

Frequently asked questions
How are first-team-to-score picks graded?
From the score: if only one team scored, or one team was ahead at half-time before the other scored, the first scorer is known. When both teams scored after the break and the order cannot be told from the scores, the pick is left ungraded.
Is this the same as first goalscorer?
No. First goalscorer is about a player; this market is about which team scores first.
How do you pick first team to score tips?
Every match is rated by our model and blended with the bookmakers' prices. For this page we show the first team to score outcome for each match, ordered by our chance – the strongest first.
What does the percentage mean?
It is our chance of the pick winning. Compare it with the bookmaker price: a pick at 70% has fair odds of 1.43, so any price above that offers value.
Are these tips graded?
Yes. Every pick is marked ✓ or ✗ on the 90-minute score once the match ends, and yesterday's results stay on the Yesterday tab.
