Both Teams To Score Tips: 8/1 Acca On Premier League Opening Weekend
The wait is finally over as the Premier League gets under way and one of the games from the top flight is included in Saturday's both teams to score tips.
It’s been an encouraging start for The Panel’s BTTS predictions which produced a 12/1 winner last weekend and the other two previews fell just one goal short.
Saturday’s four-legged acca comes from the 3pm fixtures and can be backed at more than 8/1 on betting sites.
BTTS Tips: Brighton Vs Fulham
Brighton and Fulham occupied the top-two spots in the Premier League’s both teams to score table last season, so this match looks a good place to start.
Both teams scored and conceded in 27 of their 38 matches, the highest percentage (71%) across all four divisions.
As you would expect, their games against each other also ticked the both teams to score box, with the Cottagers winning 3-1 at home in December followed by a 2-1 victory for the Seagulls three months later.
Fabian Hurzeler’s side have scored at least twice in all five friendlies and Fulham averaged two goals a game in their pre-season matches, so both teams seem to be champing at the bit in attacking areas.
One shouldn’t read too much into the outcomes of non-competitive games, but Brighton ranked high in the 'for' and 'against' tables for expected goals (xG) last season and more of the same is expected in the new campaign.
Both teams to score at 4/6 on football betting sites is the first of this week’s BTTS predictions.

Both Teams To Score Acca: Barnsley Vs Bolton
The Panel are skipping the Championship for leg two, a Roses battle between Barnsley and Bolton which is available at 4/7 with Coral.
The Tykes had the joint-best overall BTTS record in League One last season (70%), the same percentage for games at Oakwell, the highest in the division.
Bolton were the fifth best performers in the third tier, but they were slightly better away from home where 61% of their matches saw goals at both ends.
The teams have met six times in the last two seasons, including the 2023/24 play-off semi-final, and both teams scored on each occasion, so there is a trend when these clubs go head to head.
All three of Barnsley’s games this season, including the Carabao Cup, have hit the BTTS bull’s-eye and there’s every expectation a fourth is on the cards.

BTTS Predictions: Doncaster Vs Wycombe
The Panel remain in League One for the third leg which pits newcomers Doncaster against last season’s play-off semi-finalists Wycombe.
The Chairboys have their lost opening two games by 2-1 scorelines, although Stockport manager Dave Challinor accepted his team were lucky to win at Adams Park last weekend when Corey Addai made some brilliant saves to keep the hosts at bay.
Rovers, on the other hand, won 2-1 at Mansfield last weekend to maintain their perfect start to the season and then thrashed Championship side Middlesbrough 4-0 at the Riverside Stadium in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night.
Wycombe’s both teams to score record on the road in the 2024/25 campaign was a respectable 63%, almost double their percentage at home, and although they sold star striker Richard Kone to QPR this week, Daniel Udoh still knows the way to goal.
At 5/6 on betting apps, this match makes the cut as the next of Saturday’s both teams to score tips.
The Panel's BTTS Tips 3: Doncaster Vs Wycombe - 5/6 With Coral
BTTS Acca: Cambridge Vs Harrogate
The Panel wrap up their selections in League Two with the clash between Cambridge and Harrogate which can be backed at Evens with Betfred.
Both teams were involved in high-scoring matches last weekend when Harrogate drew 3-3 with Grimsby after a goalless first half.
The Mariners’ first equaliser delivered the 12/1 winning acca, so The Panel have already developed a soft spot for Harrogate!
Cambridge, meanwhile, took an early lead at Swindon, but trailed 2-1 at half-time in a 3-2 defeat.
The U’s got back to winning ways with a 2-0 win at Bristol Rovers in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday, the same night that the Sulphurites lost 3-1 at home to League One side Lincoln.
There should be goals for the last leg of The Panel’s BTTS acca and at an excellent price.

* An acca on Saturday's BTTS tips is priced at more than 8/1 with Coral.
