“2X And Both To Score – No” in Football Sports Betting – Explained with Examples + Betting Tips

Meaning of “2X and Both Teams To Score – No”

This is a combined (double) bet that joins two conditions:

  1. 2X → The away team (Team 2)wins or draws the match.
    • So, if Team 2 wins or draws, this part wins.
    • If the home team (Team 1) wins, this part loses.
  2. Both Teams To Score – No (BTTS – No) → It means both teams will NOT score.
    • Only one team (or none) must score.
    • If both teams score, this part loses.

For your bet to win, both conditions must happen:

  • The away team wins or draws, AND
  • At least one team fails to score (BTTS – No).

How It Works (Step-by-Step Example)

Let’s say you bet on:

Bet option: “2X and Both Teams To Score – No”
Match: Chelsea Vs Manchester United
You choose: Manchester United (2X)

Possible Outcomes:

  • 2–0 (because away team lost)

Player Perspective Example

Let’s imagine Marcus Rashford (Manchester United forward) is expected to play against Chelsea.

  • Rashford is in great form, but Chelsea’s defense has been solid at home.
  • You expect Manchester United to avoid defeat (they might win or draw).
  • You also think it will be a tight defensive match, where Chelsea might not score.

So you place:
 Bet: “2X and Both Teams To Score – No” on Manchester United.

If the game ends 0–1 (Rashford scores the winner), your bet wins perfectly.


Betting Tips for “2X and BTTS – No”

  1. Check defensive stats – Choose teams with strong defense or who play for a draw away from home.
    • Example: Teams like Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid, or Manchester City away.
  2. Avoid open, attacking matches – Leagues or teams known for high scoring (like Bundesliga) are risky.
  3. Look for low-scoring trends – Games with Under 2.5 Goals odds being low often fit “BTTS – No”.
  4. Use for underdogs with solid defense – When a weaker away team tends to hold big teams to draws or wins by 1–0.
  5. Ideal for cup games or tight fixtures – Especially when both teams play cautiously (e.g., Champions League knockout).
  6. Check team news – If one side’s key striker is injured, BTTS – No becomes more likely.

Example Betting Scenario

  • Prediction: Liverpool not to lose, Burnley might fail to score.
  • Bet: “2X and Both Teams To Score – No” on Liverpool.
  • Result: Burnley 0–2 Liverpool (Win)
