Weekend Both Teams to Score Football Tips

For this weekend’s bets, look for matches where the teams are likely to play an open game based on their head-to-head record and depth of attacking talent. 

This weekend (31.08.2024) has a some interesting games that are worth considering in this market.

  • Ipswich vs Fulham (England). Ipswich against Fulham has always been an entertaining fixture with a tendency to produce lots of goals, and three out of their last five games have produced goals for both sides.
  • Leicester vs Aston Villa (England). These teams have scored lots of goals in their last five games and both sides found the net in four of these. They have just one and three points respectively after two games this season and our football prediction expects them to go all-out for the points here.
  • Stuttgart vs Mainz (Germany). Previous results between these sides suggest this could be a good BTTS bet. Both are looking for their first win of the season after dropping points in their opening matches, and as both sides have scored in four out of the last five of their head-to-head fixtures, this fixture could represent an ideal betting opportunity.

What Does BTTS Mean?

The term BTTS is short for both teams to score a goal each. You don't need to predict who will win the match.

When you bet on this market, you’re simply choosing “Yes” or “No” if you think the two teams will both find the back of the net or not.

If you were to pick a game like Liverpool vs Arsenal and the game finished 2-1, your “Yes” bet would be a winner because Liverpool and Arsenal scored in the game. But if it ended 1-0, you’d lose your wager because only one team managed to score.

Alternatively, if you selected “No” in your BTTS bet, it means that you are betting that at least one of the teams will not score. If the game finished 0-0 or 2-0 then your “No” bet will win as one side or both failed to put the ball in the net. However, if the result was 1-1 then your bet would lose.

This type of bet is most effective when there are two teams with dangerous attacking players, with a history of scoring (and in some cases conceding) a lot of goals. It can be an exhilarating type of bet to make as it keeps you invested in the game until full-time, as it only takes a second to score a goal!

What to consider Picking BTTS Football Betting Tips

When it comes to finding good tips in these markets, the most important thing you’ll need is quality research. You can use team stats, head-to-head records, or even current form; anything to help you boost the accuracy of your predictions.

  1. Firstly, have a look at each team and analyze their scoring record in their last 5-10 games. If both of them are scoring and conceding goals then that suggests the potential for an open game, with plenty of goal chances at both ends.
  2. Secondly, you should check out the two teams’ head-to-head record. If recent matches between the teams produced lots of goals, that could be a significant indicator about the potential for goals in the upcoming game. 
  3. You should also consider the availability of key players, especially strikers and defenders. If a team’s top scorer is injured or suspended, their chances of scoring might decrease. Alternatively, if a key defender is missing, that team might be vulnerable to conceding more goals than usual. 
  4. Finally, tactics and motivation can also be important factors when you’re betting in this market. If both sides need to win, they may both take an attacking approach, increasing the overall chances for goals. However, if one team is more likely to take a defensive or cautious approach, that might lead to fewer chances overall.

What are the Advantages of BTTS?

  • Betting on a game in which both teams take an attacking approach shows the advantage of betting on BTTS as you will find that the more the teams attack, the more likely they're going to be vulnerable at the back, making for goal chances at both ends and a potentially rewarding outcome.
  • Betting on this market also means that you always have a chance to win right up to the last seconds of the game. 
  • Another benefit is that you don't have to wait till the end of the match to know that you have won. For example, teams that have something at stake usually attack from the first whistle and if you're lucky, both sides might score in the first 45 minutes, meaning you've won your bet before half-time.

How Do Our Experts Predict Both Teams to Score?

Our team of football experts has several experienced BTTS analysts who take great  care to choose the best opportunities to bet in this market. 

The first thing they look out for is leagues that produce more goals than others. Then they narrow it down to those teams that play in an attacking style. They also check the specific BTTS stats for these teams, and the number of goals that they concede. This level of detailed analysis lays the foundation for our predictions.

When choosing matches to wager on in these leagues, our football tipsters also look at the teams’ head-to-head record. Their benchmark for this metric is the last five or six meetings between the teams. If four out of five or five out of six of these games have resulted in goals for both teams, this very often indicates a potential bet.
