Form

When deciding the best BTTS bets it's very important to weigh up the form of BOTH teams that are playing. Just because one team is scoring and conceding a lot of goals, it doesn't mean they will continue to do so against every team they play. If the opposition tends to be involved in tight games most of the time they could end up cancelling out the high scoring tendencies of the other team.

Tactics

It's important to consider how each team is going approach a game. Some teams at the lower end of the table can be involved in high scoring matches against the teams around them but when they play the better teams they might play for a point by 'parking the bus'. Form might tell you that BTTS is a good bet but a change of tactics might mean you need to change your bets.

Over 2.5 Goals

If you are betting on both teams to score it's always worth comparing the odds on both teams to score to the odds on over 2.5 goals. They are different bets not necessarily related (if you think a team could win 3-0 or 4-0 over 2.5 goals would be a good bet but BTTS wouldn't be. However the only time over 2.5 goals is a loser and BTTS is a winner is for games that are 1-1. If you fancy BTTS, don't fancy 1-1 and the odds on over 2.5 goals is better than over 2.5 goals is the better bet.

BTTS Yes v BTTS No

BTTS - Yes is a much more popular bet than BTTS - No, probably because punters generally like to bet on positive outcomes. A bet on BTTS - No can be a loser very early on in the match. However BTTS - No shouldn't be completely forgotten about. BTTS - No or BTTS - No & Result can be excellent bets. When simply backing a team to win a match it is always worth asking how likely that winning team is to keep a clean sheet. One of the best reasons for backing a team to win can be not being able to make a case for the opposition scoring a goal and in that scenario the odds of the team winning the match can be boosted by a solid margin simply by making it a BTTS - No & Result bet (or win to nil). It's not necessarily a bad strategy to mix the bets in a both teams to score accumulator either. Punters can often make the mistake of filling accas with bets that are all on the exact same market but an acca that uses both BTTS - Yes and BTTS - No bets can be just as good.
