Tomorrow’s Goalscorer Tips: How Often Players Score Twice

Of every 100 players who scored in an international match since 2010, 88 scored once. Ten scored twice, two completed a hat-trick or better, and across 6,123 matches with a goal there was a hat-trick in one match out of every 20. Backing a player to score more than once means backing something that happens to about one scorer in eight.

How many goals a scorer gets

Goals by one player in a match Share of players who scored
1 87.9%
2 10.1%
3 1.7%
4 or more 0.3%

The sample is 15,382 player performances in which a player scored, excluding own goals. It covers international football only, since club-level scorer records at this scale aren’t freely available, and it includes only matches that had at least one goal.

The 303 hat-tricks in the sample show how rare the top end is: about one for every 20 matches with a goal.

How a team’s goals are shared

When a team scores, it usually scores once. Of 8,920 team performances with a goal, 46.6% were single-goal games. How much one player dominates depends on the total:

Goals scored by the team Share in which one player scored at least twice
2 16.3%
3 39.1%
4 61.7%
5 or more 83.5%

Two goals are usually shared between two different scorers, with the same player getting both just 16.3% of the time. By four goals the chance that someone has scored twice is nearly two in three, and at five or more it is more than four in five.

A repeat scorer becomes likely as the total rises, probably because several goals have to be shared among only a handful of attackers.

Reading the scorer tips for tomorrow

An anytime-scorer pick is a one-goal question, and one goal is by far the most common scorer outcome. About one scorer in eight got more than one, but that’s a figure for players who had already scored. For a player picked before kick-off, most of whom don’t score at all, a brace or hat-trick is much rarer. If a brace is the aim, a heavy mismatch is the best setting, because that is where the data shows a team’s scoring becoming concentrated.

Prices for a brace or a hat-trick are long because they rarely happen. Scorer bets are for over-18s only, with money you could lose.
