BTTS Tips: 8/1 four-fold for Saturday's action
Saturday afternoon is stacked full of action with fixtures in the Premier League, Championship and the 2nd round of the FA Cup. We've checked the stats and picked out a cheeky little 8/1 four-fold on Both Teams to Score with William Hill. You can place the bet using the link below.
Newcastle United vs Burnley
Newcastle are the BTTS kings of the Premier League, with 11 of their 14 games (79%) thus far ending with both teams to score. This rises to a whopping 86% at St James's Park. It landed again on Tuesday vs fellow strugglers Norwich and they'll be desperate for a win here over relegation rivals Burnley.
Burnley have seen four of their seven away games end in both teams netting and I see no reason why this won't repeat again here.
Middlesbrough vs Swansea City
Chris Wilder's men come off a fantastic result last week vs Huddersfield and will be looking to continue their march up the table against fellow playoff chasing Swansea, who lost last time out against Reading. Both Boro and City had BTTS land last week and I see that happening again here. Middlesbrough have a 60% strike rate at home for BTTS and Swansea have the identical record away.
They are both averaging over a goal a game at home and away respectively.
AFC Wimbledon vs Cheltenham Town
Our next two picks are in the FA Cup 2nd round and the first tie is an all League One affair which makes it easy for us to compare BTTS stats. Wimbledon have seen BTTS hit 78% of the time at Plough Lane and have scored and conceded 15 goals in only 9 fixtures at home.
Town on the other hand have seen a phenomenal 32 goals scored in their ten away visits this year so should always be involved in a goal scoring tussle.
Burton Albion vs Port Vale
The last selection is between mid-table League One club Burton and promotion chasing League Two club Port Vale. This should make for a belting FA Cup tie as both teams are fairly evenly matched. Burton are prolific scorers at home but have still conceded over a goal a game in their games at the Pirelli Stadium.
Vale have done similar away from home, scoring 16 goals in only nine ties this year and this match looks a nailed on BTTS selection.
