Both teams arrive in strong scoring form, which is the clearest route into the BTTS angle. Netherlands are unbeaten in 12 matches and have scored in all six games listed here, putting up four against Lithuania, four against Finland and three away to Lithuania. Norway have been even more explosive, winning six straight while scoring four against Italy away, four against Estonia, five against Israel, eleven against Moldova and three against Italy.

The main concern for Both Teams To Score is the Dutch defence, because Ronald Koeman’s side have kept four clean sheets in their last six and only conceded twice across that stretch. Norway still bring enough attacking evidence to test that, especially after producing 1.4 xG in the 4-1 win away to Italy on 16 November and getting goals from Antonio Nusa, Erling Haaland and Jørgen Strand Larsen. The projection also leans toward Norway contributing, with them at 1.5 xG compared with 0.9 for Netherlands.

Norway’s recent BTTS pattern gives the market some extra support without needing much else: both teams have scored in four of their last five. That fits a side who are clearly dangerous going forward but not fully secure at the back, and FootAPI also lists Norway without a clean sheet in their last three.

There is a mild historical warning because the last four head-to-head meetings did not all land for this market, with Netherlands winning to nil twice and the most recent meeting in the Netherlands ending 2-0 in November 2021. Still, Norway are arriving in much better attacking shape than in those older meetings, while the correct-score call of 2-2 points toward mutual scoring even if the Netherlands xG number is a little lower than ideal for this bet.

My prediction is Both Teams To Score at 1.67. Norway have scored 28 goals across their last six matches and have seen both teams score in four of their last five, while Netherlands have found the net in all six recent games shown here. Norway’s 1.5 projected xG is strong enough to challenge a Dutch back line that has otherwise been solid, and the 2-2 score call points directly to each side getting on the scoresheet.
