If Blue was really smart about it, they'd park their two least effective robots in front of their own goals to guarantee that Red couldn't score. Alternately, you can just have an agreement between teams at the start of the match that you'll only score in one goal.
If you agree to score in Red goals, then there are pluses and minuses for both teams:
Red: Certainty of a win, easy to tell if Blue isn't following through
Blue: As long as Red follows through, you'll get at least as many points as they do. If Red takes penalties (or even if you take penalties), they don't count against you in seeding points.
