International friendlies play a key role in the football calendar. Whether you see them as an annoyance that disrupts the domestic football action or if you view them as a valuable exercise to hone the team and squad for the next major international tournament, there are plenty of friendly matches every season.
You can bet on international friendly football right here with us at Grosvenor Sport. You’ll find international friendly betting markets and odds across all international friendlies, whether you want to bet on England, Scotland, Brazil or France.

Yes, you can bet on international friendly matches in the same way as you’d bet on matches in international football tournaments. Right here on this page, you’ll see international friendly betting odds across a whole host of markets.
Some of the different types of bets you can make on international football include:
A moneyline bet is a super simple bet on which team you think will win the match. It’s an American term, but we’re seeing it more and more in betting in the UK.
If Germany were playing France in an international friendly, a moneyline bet is just a bet on either side to win the match.
With a goals over/under bet, you place a bet on the total number of goals in a match (or half of a match) being over or under a specific amount. You could see odds on goals over 2.5 or goals under 2.5.
If you bet on goals over 2.5 and Brazil beat Colombia 2-1, your bet will come in. The total number of goals in the match was 3, which is obviously higher than 2.5.
Before any international friendly match, you’ll see international friendly betting odds on either of the teams to win the match. You’ll also see odds on a draw. The team with the shortest odds will be the favourite to triumph. Odds are based on a range of factors in international football and the favourite can be decided in a number of ways. Home advantage, FIFA rankings, players, current form and more will all be factored in to decide the favourite.
Remember, however, that the favourite doesn’t always win. In international friendlies, coaches often play weaker teams, try new systems and give new players their debuts. The favourite isn’t always as strong as they would be if this were a tournament match with more on the line. It’s important to consider this when it comes to betting on international friendlies.
For all international friendlies, you’ll find the full range of international friendly betting markets at Grosvenor Sport. They include:
- First goalscorer
- Correct score
- Half-time score
- Both teams to score
- Draw no bet
And if you want to add a bit mor excitement to the action, you can also bet live with our In-Play international friendly betting odds.
Our international football betting odds are shown as fractional odds. Say for example, England to beat Scotland in an international friendly played at Wembley Stadium at 4/1. If you bet £10 on England winning and the Three Lions triumph, you’ll win 4x your original bet (£40). You’ll also get your original stake of £10 back for a total pot of £50.
This is a simple example, and in reality, fractional odds can be much more complicated. Our helpful betting calculator is the ideal tool to work out your potential winnings on any bet.
At Grosvenor Sport, our punters enjoy betting on the following popular markets:
If you want to bet on the first half of an international friendly, you can choose from a range of betting markets. They include:
- Half-time result – whether a home win, away win, or draw
- Half-time correct score
- First-half clean sheet
- First-half both teams to score
- First-half total goals – over/under
When you bet on the correct score, you’ll see international friendly betting odds on a range of different scores. For example, you might find odds of 3/1 for England to beat Scotland 2-1. Simply predict the final score and place your bet.
You can bet on the correct score before the match kicks off or as a live In-Play bet while the action unfolds on the pitch.
With Asian handicap betting, the favourite is given a disadvantage, and the underdog is given an advantage. Say England are playing San Marino – it’s usually a thumping for the minnows. With an Asian handicap bet, England are at a disadvantage whilst San Marino have a head start. It could look like this:
- England: -1.5
- San Marino: +1.5
You can only choose one of the teams – and a draw isn’t a possible bet with Asian handicap betting. For example, if you back England to win, they must win by at least two clear goals for your bet to come in. If they won 1-0 (a dreadful result back home), you would lose your bet.
At Grosvenor Sport, we make it super simple to bet on international friendly games. For any friendlies in the international football calendar, you’ll see our international friendly betting markets on this page. Each potential bet will have corresponding international friendly betting odds.
It’s simply a case of choosing your bet based on the odds and selecting your stake. Once you’ve made your bet, simply watch your chosen match to see if it comes in. At Grosvenor Sport, you’ll find international friendly betting markets including correct score, goals over/under, handicap betting, goalscorer betting and more.
