Both Teams to Score is widely followed, and most of what is written about it is reasonable. What is often missing is a clear routine. This guide supplies one, along with the background that makes it work.
The Definition
The market succeeds when each team scores at least once. The final result is irrelevant. A 1-1 draw, a 3-2 win and a 0-1 defeat for a side that scored once elsewhere are all fine; a 2-0 win is not.
Evidence to Gather
Start with how often each team has scored and conceded in the last six to ten matches, separating home from away. Add shots and expected goals to see whether the pattern is supported by chance quality.
Then check team news, because a missing goalkeeper, centre-back or striker changes the picture.
The Matchup
Open, attacking teams create the best conditions. A strong favourite against a weak side may win without conceding. Matches between mid-table teams with nothing at stake often offer more freedom.
Style Pairings
Pressing teams meeting each other usually leave space on both sides. A cautious team meeting a pressing one can produce a one-sided pattern.
Pitfalls
Streaks mislead because styles and personnel change. Cup ties and relegation fights can be cautious. And a single strong attacker may be responsible for most of a team’s scoring, making the team’s record fragile.
A Short Routine
Check the records, check the news, think about the matchup and compare the price with your estimate. Keep notes and review them.
