The main football markets
Both teams to score (BTTS)
3 min
Both teams to score — usually shown as BTTS or GG/NG (goal-goal / no-goal) — is a clean two-way market that sidesteps the result entirely.
The bet
- Yes — both teams score at least one goal (any result like 1–1, 2–1, 3–2).
- No — at least one team is kept off the scoresheet (1–0, 0–0, 2–0).
Who wins is irrelevant. A 1–1 draw and a 3–2 home win both settle BTTS: Yes.
Why people like it
BTTS is intuitive and keeps you "in" the match for most of its length — a single goal at each end cashes it. It pairs naturally with the over/under read, since high-scoring, open matches tend to land both Over and BTTS: Yes.
What to look at
Lean on scoring and conceding tendencies, not just attack. A team that scores freely but also leaks goals is a BTTS engine; a side built on clean sheets points toward No. Form and the same last-10/H2H signals from Chapter 1 apply directly — a model that estimates each team's goal expectation can derive a BTTS probability straight from those two numbers.
