Reading 0 - 2 Southampton

This section shows the statistics on how many times Reading and Southampton have both scored and conceded in the same match in the Premier League.

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 38 matches played in the Premier League, Reading has scored and conceded goals in 23 matches. In other words, 61% of its matches have seen both teams score. Their BTTS percentage is 58% at home, while it is 63% away from home.
• Meanwhile, Southampton has scored and conceded in 25 of their 38 matches so far in the EPL, giving them a BTTS rate of 66%. Both teams have scored in 13 of Southampton’s 19 home matches, and it has happened 12 times in 19 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
