A team’s attack can look completely different depending on the full-back’s role, writes Sports News Blitz’s Joseph Kan’gethe.

Tucking inside changes the numbers around midfield, while overlapping gives the attack another route down the flank.

For bettors, understanding that difference matters when analyzing markets such as corners, team goals, player shots and assists.

An inverted full-back gives the team another passing option in midfield and can leave the winger with more room on the flank.

An overlapping full-back can stretch the opposition and give the team another route to the final third.
