Meaning of “2X and Both Teams To Score – Yes”
This bet combines Double Chance (2X) and Both Teams To Score (BTTS – Yes) into one selection.
Here’s what it means:
- 2X = The away team (Team 2) will win or draw the match.
So the home team (Team 1) must not win. - BTTS – Yes = Both teams must score at least one goal each in the match.
To win this bet:
- The away team must win or draw, AND
- Both teams must score at least one goal each.
You lose the bet if:
- The home team wins (because 2X fails), or
- One or both teams fail to score (because BTTS fails).
Example Scenario
Match: Chelsea vs Arsenal
You bet on “2X and Both Teams To Score – Yes.”
Let’s analyze a few outcomes:
| Final Score | Chelsea Win? | Both Teams Score? | Bet Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chelsea 2 – 1 Arsenal | Yes | Yes | Lose (home win) |
| Chelsea 1 – 1 Arsenal | No | Yes | Win (draw + BTTS) |
| Chelsea 1 – 2 Arsenal | No | Yes | Win (away win + BTTS) |
| Chelsea 0 – 1 Arsenal | No | No | Lose (BTTS fails) |
| Chelsea 0 – 0 Arsenal | No | No | Lose (BTTS fails) |
So you only win if Arsenal wins or draws AND both sides score.
Player-Based Example
Let’s say Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) is in great form and usually contributes to goals.
If Arsenal are playing away against Chelsea, and Saka plus Chelsea’s attackers (like Sterling) are both likely to score, this bet becomes attractive.
- Arsenal might not lose because they are in good form (supports 2X).
- Both sides have strong attacking players (supports BTTS).
Hence, betting 2X and BTTS – Yes is reasonable in this scenario.
Betting Tips for “2X and Both To Score – Yes”
- Check Team Form:
Bet on matches where the away team is strong or consistent and the home team can still score goals at home. - Avoid Defensive Matches:
If both teams are known for low-scoring games or strong defenses, skip this bet. - Look at Recent Head-to-Head Records:
If their past 3–5 meetings had both teams scoring, it’s a good sign. - Player Availability Matters:
Injuries to key attackers reduce BTTS chances. - Good for Attacking Away Teams:
Teams like Arsenal, Liverpool, or Bayern Munich often perform well away from home and concede goals too — perfect for this market. - Use Statistics:
Check websites like FlashScore or SofaScore for stats like:- BTTS % in last 10 games
- Away team unbeaten %
- Goals scored/conceded averages
Example of a Smart Bet

Bet: 2X and Both Teams To Score – Yes
Reasoning:
- Liverpool are strong away (2X possible).
- Newcastle are very good at scoring at home (BTTS likely).
Smart combination for higher odds and good chance of winning.
