View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The signal for BTTS - Yes is positive, as both teams have recorded this market in 54% and 64% of their matches this season, respectively, while the league average stands at 59%. Charlotte have delivered BTTS in as many as 80% of their last five matches, scoring an average of 2.0 goals and conceding 1.4, whereas Alta have reached 60%, with averages of 1.4 goals scored and 1.6 conceded. The hosts create an average of 1.71 xG, while Alta’s defence allows opponents 1.85 xG, clearly strengthening Charlotte’s chances of scoring. Despite their lower average of 1.09 goals per match, Alta should benefit from Charlotte conceding an average of 1.55 xG and keeping a clean sheet in only 46% of matches. The risk to this pick is the hosts’ solid season-long defence, which concedes just 0.92 goals per game, but the current form of both defences points more strongly towards a goal for each side.
