- Both teams scoring and a match with three goals or more are different questions, so the two shares can put the leagues in a different order.

Questions and answers
- What does both teams to score (BTTS) mean?
- Each team scores at least one goal in the match, whatever the final result. A 1–1 or a 3–2 counts; a 2–0 or a 0–0 does not.
- What is the difference between BTTS and over 2.5 goals?
- Both teams to score asks whether each team scored; over 2.5 goals asks whether the match had three goals or more. A 1–1 counts for both teams to score but not for over 2.5, a 3–0 for over 2.5 but not for both teams to score, and a 2–1 for both.
- Why can a league's BTTS share change so much?
- A share is only as steady as the number of matches behind it. Early in a season, with only a few rounds played, one more match in which both teams score can move a share by several points; after a few hundred matches it hardly moves. That is why every share on this page comes with its number of matches.
- How often do both teams score in the top five European leagues?
- Season to date, both teams have scored in 56% of matches on average across the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, the Bundesliga and Ligue 1: from 48% (Premier League) to 60% (Ligue 1).
