Both Teams to Score (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score — usually shortened to BTTS, or GG ("goal-goal") in continental Europe — is a betting market that pays out if both sides score at least one goal during regular time. It does not matter who wins, draws, or how many goals are scored, as long as each team scores.
Why BTTS is one of the most popular markets
BTTS is popular because it is easy to understand and pays roughly even money in evenly-matched fixtures. The bet only loses if one team is shut out — a relatively narrow set of outcomes in modern football, where the average top-five-league match produces 2.7 goals.
What drives BTTS probability
The model factors that drive BTTS probability are each team's expected goals (xG) and expected goals against (xGA). High-scoring open games favour BTTS Yes; a strong defence facing a poor attack favours BTTS No. Set-piece dependency, goalkeeper form, and recent injuries all matter at the margin.
Our prediction model outputs a BTTS Yes/No probability for every match alongside the implied bookmaker probability, so you can spot value lines.
Frequently asked questions
Do own goals count for BTTS?
+
Yes. An own goal counts as a goal for the team that benefits from it, so an own goal scored by the home team counts as a goal for the away team in BTTS markets at virtually all bookmakers.
Does extra time count for BTTS?
+
No. BTTS settles on regular 90-minute play (plus injury time) only, unless the bookmaker explicitly states otherwise. Goals in extra time and penalties do not count.
