What is “Each Team Will Score (Total)” Betting?
Each Team Will Score (Total) is a football betting market that predicts whether both teams will score at least one goal during the match.
It’s similar to the “Both Teams to Score (BTTS)” market, but with more flexibility — because some bookmakers combine this with total goals or team-specific scoring conditions.
How It Works
You are betting on whether each team will score at least one goal in the match.
So:
- “Yes” means you expect both teams to score (1–1, 2–1, 3–2, etc.)
- “No” means you expect at least one team not to score (0–0, 1–0, 2–0, etc.)
Sometimes, sportsbooks extend this to include total team goals — e.g., “Each Team To Score 2+ Goals”.
Example with Real Teams
Let’s use an example:
Match: Arsenal vs. Tottenham
Option 1: Each Team To Score – Yes
- You win if both Arsenal and Tottenham score at least 1 goal each.
- Example winning scores:
- 1–1
- 2–1
- 2–2
- 3–2
- Losing scores:
- 0–0
- 1–0 (Tottenham didn’t score)
- 3–0 (Tottenham didn’t score)
Option 2: Each Team To Score 2+ Goals – Yes
- You win if both teams score at least 2 goals each.
- Example winning scores:
- 2–2
- 3–2
- 3–3
- Losing scores:
- 2–1 (Tottenham didn’t reach 2 goals)
- 1–1 (Each scored, but not 2+ goals)

Betting Tips
1. Check Both Teams’ Scoring Form
Look at the last 5–10 matches:
- Do they often score and concede?
- Example: If both teams regularly play high-scoring games, “Yes” is strong.
Tip: Arsenal BTTS rate in home games = 80%, Tottenham away BTTS = 75% → “Each Team To Score (Yes)” has value.
2. Avoid Defensive or Mismatched Teams
If one team is far stronger or defends tightly, “No” may be smarter.
Example: Man City vs. Burnley — City might win 3–0 → “No” is safer.
3. Look at Head-to-Head (H2H) Records
If previous encounters regularly see both teams scoring, that’s a positive sign.
Example: Arsenal vs. Spurs often ends 2–2 or 3–2 — good for “Yes”.
4. Weather and Pitch Conditions
Poor weather or bad pitches often mean fewer goals — consider “No”.
5. Combine Markets for Value
You can combine “Each Team To Score” with:
- Over/Under 2.5 Goals
- Match Result
For example:
Both Teams To Score & Over 2.5 Goals → higher odds but riskier.
