Four EFL Games we believe will have BTTS this weekend
As the football season hasn't started yet, we won't be providing our full BTTS tips until September, where we can get a grasp of how each team plays, performs and how likely they are to have both teams score in their opening game. However, we have chosen five games that we believe will have both teams score on the opening day of the Football League. They are:
Oxford United Vs Norwich City - Saturday 10th August 12:30
Last season both Norwich City and Oxford United had above average rates for BTTS in their leagues. However, Oxford United have been promoted to the Championship and the gap in quality may be too much for them. Oxford scored in 38 out of 46 games last season, while Norwich were one of the top scorers in the Championship.
- With 0 of Oxford's pre-season games having BTTS, the value for this game will be inflated. Dominant wins against Burton and Fleetwood and a strong win against Southampton show their credentials.
- Despite the departures of Gabriel Sara and Christos Tzolis, Norwich are still capable of scoring goals, their chances of promotion might be slim but we still expect them to score enough goals to secure mid-table.
Price: 4/6
Peterborough United Vs Huddersfield Town - Saturday 10th August 17:30
Peterborough United were one of the most entertaining League One sides to watch last season. It has to be said that following the departure of Ronnie Edwards and Jonson Clarke-Harris, the Posh look weaker than they did last season. However, Peterborough still have a good side and they'll be up against a Huddersfield Town side who will be looking to return to the Championship at the first time of asking. They've recruited well and their midfield looks a lot stronger now on paper. Michael Duff has also come in as head coach and has a good record at this level.
This could be a match that helps decide the play-offs at the end of the season and both teams will be out to start the season strong.
- Huddersfield Town's last five pre-season games have all finished with BTTS.
- Peterborough United's Chris Conn-Clarke scored 23 goals in the National League last season from midfield and scored 3 times in pre-season. Is he ready to step up? With Posh boss Duncan Ferguson promising attacking football, we may well see a lot of goals again!
Price: 4/7
Bristol Rovers Vs Northampton Town - Saturday 10th August 17:30
Bristol Rovers come into their game against Northampton Town as strong favourites, which is a little strange given that Northampton finished above them last season and still have their top goalscorer Sam Hoskins at the club, despite rumours of his potential departure. In this fixture last season, the home team won in both games but the standout points were early goals and away goals. Which is exactly what you want for your BTTS accumulators, early goals to boost any potential cash outs and obviously - a history of BTTS.
In their last eight games, these two sides have finished with BTTS - Yes on six occasions.
Price: 10/13
Tranmere Rovers Vs Milton Keynes Dons - Saturday 10th August 15:00
Tranmere's last five games last season all had BTTS. Four out of their five pre-season games have had the same result, the one that didn't was a 2-0 win over a young Preston North End. Tranmere look like one of the most reliable sides for BTTS at the start of the new season and while that may not end up being the case over the full season, we also have the exciting MK Dons in this game.
Former Newcastle defender Mike Williamson has brought attacking football to the English football, first with Gateshead and now in the football league with MK Dons. There were 43 goals in MK Dons' last eight games in the 2023/24 season and although they haven't exactly matched their goalscoring prowess last season, this should be a very entertaining game with a number of goals.
Price: 11/20
Harrogate Town Vs Bromley
In the modern day, it is so difficult to get out of the National League that teams that manage this feat, tend to perform well in league teo

BTTS Frequently Asked Questions
What Is The Meaning Of BTTS In Sports Betting?
BTTS stands for ‘Both Teams To Score’. That means if you were to bet ‘BTTS - Yes’, you are betting on both teams involved in that match to score. You can also bet on ‘BTTS - No’, where you will win if just one team or neither team finds the back of the net.
How Do You Predict If Both Teams Will Score?
The best way to predict if both teams will score is simply to look at both sides’ recent records. Ideally, you want to look for sides that score plenty of goals but also concede plenty. A perfect example of a good BTTS team recently is Manchester United. Last season, both teams scored in 24 of their 38 games, as they scored 73 and conceded 44. All in all, if you’re going to bet on BTTS, you need to do your research first.
Do BTTS Bets Count In Extra Time?
Unfortunately, BTTS only counts for the first 90 minutes. If you are placing a BTTS bet on a knockout competition like the FA Cup, Champions League or Europa League, then you need to be wary that if the match reaches extra time, any more goals won’t count. So, if a match finishes 1-0 at full-time, but 1-1 at the end of extra time, your BTTS bet will still be classed as a loss.
