Both teams to score (BTTS) explained
A both teams to score (BTTS) bet wins when each team scores at least one goal. BetFTW does not publish BTTS picks, but it records the result of every match it tracks. In the 12 months to 30 October 2026, both teams scored in 55.2% of the 366 England Premier League matches BetFTW recorded.
How BTTS settles
A BTTS Yes bet wins if both sides score, whatever the final result: 1-1, 2-1 and 3-2 all win. A BTTS No bet wins if at least one side fails to score: 0-0, 1-0 and 3-0 all win. Own goals count for the team credited with them. Most bookmakers settle BTTS on the score after 90 minutes plus stoppage time; check your bookmaker's rules for extra time.
BTTS and totals are related but different
BTTS Yes needs at least two goals, but it does not need three: a 1-1 draw wins BTTS Yes and loses over 2.5 goals. A 3-0 win is the reverse. That is why the two rates below differ by league. BetFTW's goals picks are in the over/under 2.5 goals market.

A league's past BTTS rate is a starting point, not a probability for a single match: team strength, line-ups and the price all matter.
