The fixture with the most reliable both-to-score record in German football, priced as a 62% chance by a market that had apparently not counted. Three bars, both goals inside half an hour, and the shortest price we have taken this season.

Why both teams to score

Nineteen of the last twenty-two meetings saw both sides score, Westfalen had scored and conceded in nine straight home matches, and neither side defends transitions with any conviction — the two most recent meetings had produced ten goals. A 1.61 price implies 62%; the fixture history runs at 86%. Short prices are not exciting and we do not publish them for that reason; we publish them when the gap between price and history is this wide.

How it went

Saxon scored on eleven minutes, Westfalen equalised on twenty-seven, and the bet was settled before most people had sat down. The scenario that beats a BTTS bet is a 1–0 or a 0–0, and against these two defences that needed a red card or a downpour. Neither arrived.
