Boxing Day BTTS and No Draw

BTTS Rating
Southampton 68% of their games end in BTTS
Swansea 73% of their games end in BTTS

When it comes to BTTS, we’ve got 2 perfect teams for that.

Swansea have the highest record for BTTS fixtures in the Championship, whilst Southampton are 3rd highest on that list.

Southampton made a very good start to the season but have since dropped off.

They’ve been involved in 9 BTTS and No Draw game

Swansea have been involved in 16 BTTS matches out of 22 played, which is 73%.

10 of those 16 games have been BTTS and No Draw.

Both hold great records in this area so I think That’ll continue when they face off on Boxing Day

BTTS Rate:
Sheff Utd 56% at home
Luton Town 75% of all games

Yes both teams are in the relegation zone, but it’s not over until it’s over. Even then, should they both be relegated, the higher up you finish the more money you receive so it’s an incentive in itself.

Sheff Utd actually have a higher BTTS record than you’d expect (56%). Yes they normally lose but manage to find a goal (they even scored twice in one game v Wolves).

Luton Town are the real surprise however, They’ve received a lot of plaudits for their courage in games.

Luton have actually scored in 75% of their games which is pretty good. Problem is they’ve conceded in 100% of their games too.

12 of their 16 games have ended in BTTS. Of those 12, 9 games have been BTTS and No Draw (including their last 4 PL games).

I can’t see this being a stalemate.

BTTS Rate:
West Brom 55%
Norwich 91% away from home.

I couldn’t overlook this fixture for BTTS. Norwich seem to be involved in them every time they play away from home.

11 of 12 Norwich away games have finished in BTTS (91%). The last time they played an away game that didn’t finish BTTS was in August.

7 in 11 of their away games have ended BTTS and No Draw.

West Brom have had 5 BTTS in their last 8 games.

When West Brom play and home and BTTS, only 9% of those games have actually ended as a draw.

Rarely does either team settle for the draw. Now that’s exactly what we want.

What helps is that West Brom have scored in 82% of thei home games, and Norwich have scored in EVERY away game. Perfect combination.

BTTS Rating
Rotherham 82% at home
Middlesbrough 82% away

Bottom placed club Rotherham welcome 13th place Middlesbrough to The New York Stadium.

Both teams need points for very different reasons. Whilst Middlesborough are only 6 points off the Playoff places, Rotherham are 9 points off safety.

Rotherham have a very high BTTS record at home. 9 in 11 to be specific. Best record in the division for both teams finding the net.

Rotherham’s problem though, is that even though they’re involved in these BTTS games, they normally end up losing the game. They’ve only won 9% of those BTTS games.

Boro themselves are up there when it comes to BTTS too. They’re record is 82% in away games (that’s 9 in 11 games).

7 of their 11 away games have ended in BTTS and No Draw.
