Both Teams to Score

Fortuna Sittard only drew six of their 34 games in the Eredivisie last season, only Heracles (4) and PSV (3) drew less games than the home side here.

Their 17 home games produced 57 goals (3.35 per game) with a fairly equal split when it comes to goals scored and goals conceded (28-29).

This selection landed in all three of Fortuna Sittard’s friendly matches ahead of the new campaign as they take on a newly promoted Cambuur side.

Cambuur only drew four of their 19 away matches in the Eerste Divisie last season, seeing 60 goals across these games (3.15 per game). 

Union St Gilloise have seen BTTS in each of their last seven matches, seeing BTTS & No Draw in five of these games.

They came away 5-1 winners over Westerlo in their opening league game of the campaign, notably managing 10 shots on target. 

USG only drew two of their 20 home matches in the Belgian Pro League last season, scoring 43 goals in the process.

Zulte have seen BTTS in each of their last six matches, notably winning five of these games. Only five of their 18 away matches ended in a draw in the Belgian top flight last term, with these games producing 57 goals (3.16 per game).

Two of the last three head to head meetings between these sides have seen BTTS & No Draw.

My Goals Sheet’s rating for this game is 8.80 for Both Teams to Score.

Union St Gilloise began their domestic season with a 5-1 win at Westerlo, and they just lost out to Bodo/Glimt in Champions League qualifying 6-5 on aggregate, drawing 3-3 before losing 3-2 in extra time in the second leg.

BTTS landed in Zulte’s first game of the season as well; they came back late on to beat Genk 2-1 at home.

This game is rated 7.40 for Both Teams to Score by my Goals Sheet.

Barnet and Salford are amongst the pre-season favourites for promotion, and should be two of the best attacking sides in the division.

Both sides saw BTTS land in their EFL Cup first round ties last weekend and will be looking to land an early blow in the fourth tier promotion race.

BTTS landed in one of their head-to-heads last season, as Salford did the double over the Bees, but Barnet did generate 2.12 xG across the two games, showing that they can create good chances against them.

My Goals Sheet rates this game at 7.33 for Both Teams to Score.

Both sides are fancied for the play-offs, at least in League Two this season, and this is York’s first game after promotion back to the EFL, after winning the National League with 108 points last term and a +73 goal difference.

Rovers saw BTTS in four of their last five games of last season.

This game is rated 7.48 for Both Teams to Score on my Goals Sheet.

Leuven saw BTTS as they were beaten 3-1 at Charleroi last weekend, in a game that produced a total xG of 4.38 (1.30 from Leuven).

The last two head-to-heads have seen BTTS land, and Club Brugge looked in fine form as they beat Kortrijk 3-0 to kick off the campaign, generating 3.85 xG in the process.

This is the highest-rated game for Both Teams to Score on Saturday, according to my Goals Sheet, which gives it a rating of 8.85.

Five of the last six head-to-heads have seen both teams score, and both sides saw over 3.5 goals in their season openers.

Cambuur lost 4-0 last week, but they should get on the scoresheet this time around. They weren’t hopeless last time out, generating 0.72 xG from 11 shots, and Sittard were far from solid - allowing PSV 2.56 xG in their 2-2 draw.

My Goals Sheet rates this game at 7.78 for Both Teams to Score.

Anderlecht have seen both teams score in four of their five competitive games this season, their opening league game and three of their four Europa League qualifying outings.

Newly-promoted Beveren were beaten 2-1 at Antwerp last time out, taking the lead and having the better of the first half before being pegged back in the second period.

They generated 0.90 xG in that game, which is a promising start heading into their first league home game of the campaign.

My Goals Sheet rates this one at 7.78 for Both Teams to Score.

There’s a much bigger set of season-long data to look at in the Eliteserien, heading into gameweek 17.

Valerenga have been a good follow for BTTS, with the bet landing in three of their last four in the league, they beat Aalesund 6-1 in July and impressively won 3-2 away at 6th-placed Brann in that period.

Aalesund are 2nd-bottom, one point from safety, and have seen BTTS land in all of their nine games.

The Community Shield final gets a rating of 8.65 for Both Teams to Score on my Goals Sheet.

The last four Community Shield games have seen BTTS, including Arsenal v Man City in 2023 (1-1 with Arsenal winning on pens).

Enzo Maresca is an attacking manager and will be desperate to get one over Mikel Arteta, with these clubs being the two clear favourites for the Premier League title this campaign.

My Goals Sheet has flagged this game for a Both Teams to Score bet, rating it at 7.48.

Both sides won to nil in their first game of the season, and the bet has won in two of Heerenveen’s last three away trips to play Ajax.

The hosts are very strong favourites and will be focussing on the league this season, at least for the bulk of it, with only Europa Conference League action to contend with alongside their domestic efforts, if they can progress from the final round of qualifiers.

My Goals Sheet rates this game at 7.63 for Both Teams to Score.

The bet landed in both teams’ season openers, with Charleroi looking especially potent in attack as they beat Leuven 3-1 and generated 3.08 xG in the process.

It’s a massive occasion for Lommel, their first top-flight home games for over two decades, and they showed enough promise in their 1-1 draw at St Truiden last time out (St Truiden came 3rd last season) to be worth a BTTS bet this weekend.
