Both Teams to Score is routinely one of the favourite football betting markets among the punting community, but although the market itself is easy to understand, landing a winning single BTTS bet or accumulator isn’t quite so straightforward.

In the Premier League for example, both teams have scored in only 56% of the 110 matches played so far in the 2019/20 season, while last year’s equivalent figure for the entire campaign stood at an even lower 51%.

That approximate figure of both teams scoring in about half of the Premier League’s fixtures is mirrored around the vast majority of Europe’s major and minor domestic divisions

As always, there are plenty of outliers lurking behind the overall BTTS averages that are worth keeping an eye on and teams that break moulds, buck trends and disrupt patterns with regularity across the continent.

To help you delve into the BTTS markets as a more informed bettor, we’ve complied a detailed list of clubs that rank highest for games in which both teams have scored this season.

Check it out our research below.
