Meaning of “W2 and Both Teams to Score – Yes”
This betting option combines two outcomes in one bet:
- W2 – The away team wins the match (Full Time Result).
- Both Teams to Score – Yes (BTTS: Yes) – Both teams must score at least one goal in the match.
For your bet to win:
- The away team must win, AND
- Both teams must score at least one goal.
If any of these doesn’t happen, you lose the bet.
Example with Real Teams
Let’s use a sample match:
Match: Arsenal Vs Liverpool
Bet: W2 and Both Teams to Score – Yes
For this bet to win:
- Liverpool (Away team) must win the match.
- Both Arsenal and Liverpool must score at least one goal each.
Winning Scenarios
- Arsenal 1 – 2 Liverpool
- Arsenal 2 – 3 Liverpool
- Arsenal 3 – 4 Liverpool
Losing Scenarios
- Arsenal 0 – 2 Liverpool (Arsenal didn’t score)
- Arsenal 1 – 1 Liverpool (Draw, not a Liverpool win)
- Arsenal 2 – 0 Liverpool (Liverpool didn’t win and didn’t score)
Example with a Player’s Perspective
Imagine Mohamed Salah (Liverpool striker) is in top form and Liverpool is playing away at Arsenal.
As a bettor:
- You notice Liverpool scores a lot even when away.
- Arsenal rarely keeps a clean sheet at home but usually scores at least once.
You decide to bet “W2 and Both Teams to Score – Yes” because:
- Salah and Liverpool’s attack are strong (likely to score 2+ goals).
- Arsenal’s home form means they could score one even in defeat.
If the match ends Arsenal 1–3 Liverpool, your bet wins.
Odds and Payouts
This type of bet usually has higher odds than just betting “W2” alone or “BTTS” alone because you’re combining two conditions.
For example:
- W2 only: 2.30 odds
- BTTS – Yes only: 1.70 odds
- W2 and BTTS – Yes (Combined): 3.60 or more odds
It’s riskier — but potentially more rewarding.
Betting Tips for “W2 and Both Teams to Score – Yes”
- Check Team Form & Scoring Record
- Choose away teams that often win but concede goals (e.g., Liverpool, Manchester City, Bayern Munich).
- Look for home teams that score regularly even against stronger teams.
- Avoid Defensive Away Teams
- If the away team is defensive and plays for narrow wins (like Atlético Madrid), this bet is risky.
- Head-to-Head History
- Review past meetings. If both teams have scored in most of their encounters, that’s a good sign.
- Lineups Matter
- If the home team’s key striker is injured or suspended, chances of both scoring drop.
- If the away team’s best defenders are missing, BTTS chances rise.
- Best Leagues for This Bet
- English Premier League
- German Bundesliga
- Italian Serie A
- These leagues often produce games with goals from both sides.
Example Betting Strategy
Let’s say you focus on teams like Liverpool, PSG, or Bayern Munich because they attack heavily but rarely keep clean sheets away.
- Pick 2–3 matches where they play mid-table teams away from home.
- Place small combined bets (accumulator) using W2 and BTTS – Yes.
- Over time, your winning ratio improves if you pick matches smartly.
