Our shots on target tips give you a player to have 1+ or 2+ shots on target for the day’s biggest games, built from each player’s shots and SOT per 90 rather than guesswork.

How We Pick Our Shots on Target Tips
Shots on target is one of the most predictable player markets, because shooting volume is stable and role-driven. We build every tip from:
- Shots and SOT per 90 — the player’s own shooting record. A forward averaging 4+ shots and 1.5+ on target per 90 is a far stronger 1+ SOT pick than one who shoots rarely.
- The role — central strikers, wide forwards who cut inside, and attacking midfielders who shoot from range get the most attempts. Penalty takers carry a built-in edge.
- The match-up — a shooter against a team that concedes lots of shots, or a favourite expected to dominate a deep-lying opponent, will get more chances.
- Game plan — players on set-piece and free-kick duty, and those who shoot on sight, over-deliver on shot markets.
We pull each player’s shots and shots-on-target-per-90 numbers into our stats widget for every fixture, so you can see exactly who the data points to before backing a shots tip.
What Does Shots on Target Mean in Betting?
A shot on target is any goal attempt that would go into the net if not stopped — meaning it’s either a goal or a save. In betting, shots-on-target markets let you bet on how many a specific player records. The common lines are:
- 1+ shot on target — the player must have at least one shot on target. Wins with one or more.
- 2+ shots on target — the player must have at least two shots on target.
- Over 1.5 shots on target — the same as 2+ (over 1.5 means two or more).
- Over 0.5 shots on target — the same as 1+ (over 0.5 means one or more).
So “2+ shots on target” and “over 1.5 shots on target” are the same bet: the player needs at least two on target for it to win.
Which Shots Count as On Target?
This is where a lot of shots-on-target bets are won or lost, so it’s worth knowing exactly what counts:
- Goals — yes. A goal is by definition on target.
- Saves — yes. A shot the keeper saves counts as on target.
- Penalties — yes, in most bookmakers’ rules a penalty that is scored or saved counts as a shot on target (check the specific bookmaker, as a small number differ).
- Headers — yes. A header on target counts the same as a shot with the foot.
- Blocked shots — no. A shot blocked by a defender before reaching the goal does not count as on target.
- Shots hitting the post or bar — no. A shot off the woodwork that doesn’t go in is not counted as on target by most bookmakers.
- Shots off target / wide / over — no.
Always check your bookmaker’s exact rules, as edge cases like penalties and deflected shots can vary between them.
Player Shots on Target Stats
Want to know how many shots on target a specific player has had, or who leads the Premier League? Live and season shots-on-target stats for individual players update throughout each matchday.

See our bet builder tips for how we combine shots markets with the stats, and our yellow card tips for another stats-led player market.
