Both Teams to Score is one of the most popular markets in soccer betting, and it rewards a specific kind of homework: attacking output on both sides, defensive holes, and how a game is likely to be shaped. This page explains how we judge the BTTS line and the stats that drive every call.

What are Both Teams to Score predictions?
Both Teams to Score, usually shortened to BTTS, is a two-way market on whether each side scores at least once. BTTS Yes wins if both sides find the net, whatever the final score. BTTS No wins if the game ends with a clean sheet at either end, or no goals at all. Same-game parlays often stack a BTTS leg on top of a result pick, which is why bet365’s Bet Builder treats it as a primary leg type.
BTTS suits soccer-first bettors because it strips out the result. You do not need the favourite to win, only for both attacks to function. That makes it a good fit for fixtures where you fancy one side but the other carries enough threat to nick a goal of its own.
How to spot Both Teams to Score predictions value
Three signals guide our BTTS calls. The first is the recent BTTS hit rate: how often each side’s games have landed Yes over their last twelve outings. Sides whose games keep landing Yes tend to carry on doing so, because the patterns underneath (pressing intensity, the height of the defensive line, attacking shape) do not change from one match to the next.
The second is goalkeeper and centre-back availability. A first-choice keeper missing is the biggest single swing factor in this market, because backup keepers concede at a measurably higher rate. The third is the quality of the opposition attack. A team can be solid at the back and still concede to a top-tier forward line, so a strong defence alone does not push the line one way.
Key stats behind our Both Teams to Score predictions
Each preview shows the numbers behind the call: the table and goal difference, recent form and the players most likely to score. For BTTS, the two figures to check are how often each side has failed to score and how often it has kept a clean sheet. Early in a European season both rest on a handful of games, so a single 4-0 can skew them. Weight them lightly until the table has had a couple of months to settle.

Both Teams to Score FAQs
Does BTTS settle on penalties scored?
Yes. Penalties scored in normal time count as goals for BTTS settlement. Extra time and shootouts do not count unless the fixture is explicitly priced including extra time.
Do own goals count for BTTS?
Yes. An own goal counts for the team it is credited to, so a side that never scores one of its own can still land BTTS Yes through one.
