BTTS Tips: Back these eight teams to find the back of the net on Saturday
The Premier League will be taking a break this weekend to make space for some FA Cup action but fear not we still have plenty of Football League fixtures to go at. We’ll be focusing this time on the both teams to score market and will be sharing our four best picks for Saturday and combining them into a four-fold accumulator.
Both Teams To Score Tips
Fulham vs Sunderland
Fulham games have been full of goals this season and a result of that has seen them become the best team in the Premier League when it comes to both teams scoring in a game. 14 of their 21 matches in the Premier League has had BTTS land and it’s a bet we like the look of for their FA Cup game against Sunderland.
Sunderland have had BTTS land in nine of their 14 away games so far this season which is reassuring when you consider Fulham’s tendency to concede goals. Fulham are big favourites for this match at 4/9 and with that having them score a goal shouldn’t be an issue.
Sunderland are also undefeated in their last eight away trips and they can definitely trouble the Premier League side if they are up for it. BTTS is priced at 8/11 for this game and that will start off our picks.
Lincoln City vs Cambridge
Lincoln are another team that have seen a bunch of goals in their games this season, especially at home where they have had BTTS land in nine of their 12 games. They’ll be hosting Cambridge on Saturday and we’re expecting a few more goals in this one.
With a 75% BTTS rate at home it’s clear they’re not struggling to score, in fact they’ve only failed to score in two home games all season, but their form in League One is less than ideal and are winless in their last seven games. Cambridge are no better with four straight losses in a row.
With the two teams struggling massively and Luton being shaky at the back, I can see both teams on the scoresheet here which is priced at 10/11, that will be our second pick for Saturday.
Rochdale vs Carlisle
Rochdale and Carlisle both have great records for both teams scoring in their games this season with Rochdale having 9/13 of their games at home finishing as BTTS and Carlisle having 9/13 away games with BTTS.
However, that’s where their similarities end as Carlisle are flying high in fourth position in League Two and Rochdale are right at the bottom in 24th place. Thankfully, Rochdale will be at home for this one and they’ll take every advantage they can get against a side 20 places higher than them in the table.
Although they have been outclassed at home in their last four games where they are without a win, they have still managed to score in them all despite getting smashed. Expect Carlisle to win this game as others have done so at the Crown Oil Arena, but don’t expect Rochdale to roll over and accept defeat. BTTS here is 17/20 and we’ll be all over that.
Middlesbrough vs Watford
One of the few Championship fixtures we have this weekend is Boro vs Watford, a game that promises to be a thriller.
Since Michael Carrick took over Middlesbrough they have become an entirely new team moving up into 6th place which is just two points off Watford. Middlesbrough have had BTTSland in 18/28 of their games this season and with their recent performances, you’d fancy them to score against Watford.
Watford’s BTTS rate isn’t as good as Boro but with them being the better team throughout this season, I fancy them to at least get a goal. It’s a tough game to predict here, the bookmakers are pricing BTTS at 17/20 which will finish off our Saturday picks.
