-1.5.

Home team +1.5 wins unless the away team wins by more than one goal.
Away team -1.5 wins only if the away team wins by more than one goal.

So exactly one of the two bets will win.

If you backed both teams at +1.5, then both bets would win if it was a
draw or either team won by one goal.

By the way, if you're new to arbitrage, I hope you've looked into the hidden
dangers (getting one half of the bet cancelled if it's a "palpable error",
etc.). It's never really appealed to me.
