Both Teams to Score (BTTS) – A Complete Football Betting Guide

What Does Both Teams to Score (BTTS) Mean?

The BTTS market is quite simple:

• BTTS: Yes– Your bet wins if both teams score at least 1 goal.
• BTTS: No– Your bet wins if at least 1 team does not score.

For example: Scores of 2-1, 1-1, or 3-2 are winning BTTS: Yes bets. Scores of 1-0, 0-0, or 2-0 mean a win: No bet.

Key Factors to Consider Before Placing a BTTS Bet

Not all matches are equal in BTTS prediction. Here are some considerations:

• Team Form and Goals: Look at how many goals each team scores and concedes.
• League Averages: Some leagues have better BTTS rates. For example, Turkey's Süper Lig broadcasts slightly more goal-oriented matches compared to more defense-focused leagues.
• Head-to-Head History: Some rivalries and evenly matched teams may naturally be goal-heavy.
• Team News: Injuries to forwards may not significantly change the odds, but injuries to defenders can significantly alter the odds.

Strategies for Smarter BTTS Predictions

• Choose High-Scoring Leagues: Leagues like the Bundesliga, Süper Lig, or Eredivisie generally have a higher average BTTS percentage.
• Avoid Defensive Teams: Teams that score few goals or do not attack are weak for BTTS: Yes bets.
• Combine Markets: Many betting sites offer BTTS + Over 2.5 Goals bets.
