# Bournemouth vs Augsburg: only the second half counts in this open contract The scoring threshold and the exact period of play define this contract. A winner headline alone cannot answer it. Canonical article: https://www.homeincomelab.com/stories/clf-bou-fca-2026-07-30-more-markets Publisher: The Outlook By: The Outlook editorial desk Category: Sports Analysis as of: 2026-10-04T10:30:51.735578Z Decision guide market prices observed: 2026-10-04T09:57:48.323Z Published: 2026-10-04T10:30:51.735578Z ## Quick answer The July 30 Bournemouth–Augsburg event retains a second-half Over/Under 2.5 contract, quoted 50.5% Over in our October 4 data. The Bundesliga’s summer diary listed the friendly on July 30; the old date means readers need the historical scoring record. [1](https://polymarket.com/event/clf-bou-fca-2026-07-30-more-markets)[2](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/2026-27-pre-season-plans-tours-friendly-fixtures-results-bayern-munich-37680) ## Key takeaways - Over requires at least three goals during the second half and its added time. First-half goals, extra time and shootouts are excluded. A full-time total alone is therefore insufficient without knowing the halftime score or goal timings. [1](https://polymarket.com/event/clf-bou-fca-2026-07-30-more-markets) - The Over side is supported by three qualifying second-half goals. A hypothetical halftime 1–0 and final 3–1 yields three second-half goals; the example illustrates subtraction and is not a report of this friendly. - A high-scoring first half can leave this contract Under if fewer than three goals follow the interval. Mistaking the full-time score for the required period could produce the wrong outcome even with accurate match data. ## The comparison behind the headline The July 30 Bournemouth–Augsburg event retains a second-half Over/Under 2.5 contract, quoted 50.5% Over in our October 4 data. The Bundesliga’s summer diary listed the friendly on July 30; the old date means readers need the historical scoring record.

These are recorded contract prices, not an official result. The parent event’s cumulative volume was $135,756; that turnover includes other constituent contracts and is not the volume of this selection alone.

First-half goals, extra time and shootouts are excluded. A full-time total alone is therefore insufficient without knowing the halftime score or goal timings. [1](https://polymarket.com/event/clf-bou-fca-2026-07-30-more-markets) ## What would strengthen or weaken the case The Over side is supported by three qualifying second-half goals. A hypothetical halftime 1–0 and final 3–1 yields three second-half goals; the example illustrates subtraction and is not a report of this friendly. A high-scoring first half can leave this contract Under if fewer than three goals follow the interval. Mistaking the full-time score for the required period could produce the wrong outcome even with accurate match data. ## The evidence that will settle it Over requires at least three combined goals in the second half plus second-half stoppage time. Postponement keeps the market open; permanent cancellation without a makeup game resolves 50–50. The official final statistics are primary.
