Ladbrokes and Coral say yes: own goals count in their Both Teams To Score market (football rules, checked 22 Oct 2026). The other 8 bookmakers we cover don't mention own goals in their both teams to score rules. Extra time doesn't count for both teams to score at the 8 bookmakers whose rules we could confirm; it is settled on 90 minutes plus stoppage time.
