Alternatively, nest your beans. That is, have TeamForm contain an instance of
AwayTeam and an instance of HomeTeam:
public class TeamForm extends ActionForm {
private AwayTeam awayteam = new AwayTeam();
private HomeTeam hometeam = new HomeTeam();
...
Then, your select tags look like:
<html:select name="teamForm" property="hometeam.teamId>
etceteras.
You can then abbreviate this syntax, and provide for better indexing support, if you
migrate to the <nested> tags (struts-nested.tld).

I'm confused by having one html form, but expecting Struts to populate
two beans. AFAIK, it's one-to-one with the html form and the ActionForm
instance (the form bean). After that, you can do what you like in the
Action to populate whatever you need.
So you might have properties such as homeTeamId and awayTeamId in your
form bean. You probably won't be able to use the magic
BeanUtils.copyProperties() but instead will have to write code to
populate your homeTeam and awayTeam beans from the values in the form
bean.
So I see it going:
Html form -> ActionForm/Action -> populate custom beans -> forward to
view
