Portland Thorns 5 - 0 Sky Blue

This section shows the statistics on how many times Portland Thorns and Sky Blue have both scored and conceded in the same match in the NWSL.

The “Both Teams to Score” stat is a good data point to use for seeing whether or not a match will feature many (or any) goals. If both teams have a high rate of both scoring and conceding goals, then there is a good chance that a couple of goals will go in. But if one or both teams have low BTTS rates, then their match could be a lower-scoring affair.

Check out the BTTS (both teams to score) stats for the match:

• In 24 matches played in the NWSL, Portland Thorns has scored and conceded goals in 12 matches. In other words, 50% of its matches have seen both teams score. Their BTTS percentage is 23% at home, while it is 82% away from home.
• Meanwhile, Sky Blue has scored and conceded in 7 of their 22 matches so far in the NWSL, giving them a BTTS rate of 32%. Both teams have scored in 4 of Sky Blue’s 11 home matches, and it has happened 3 times in 11 matches as the away side.

It’s important to consider BTTS statistics when analysing teams as they provide insight into the teams’ overall approach and performance in matches. Teams with a high percentage of both teams scoring usually have more attacking approaches, whilst a lower rate of both teams scoring could point to a slightly more conservative gameplan for the most part.

And of course, this information should prove quite valuable when picking bets on the “Both Teams to Score” market and other goal-related markets
