Averaging the two sides' own rates: over 2.5 goals in 56% of their games, both teams scoring in 57%, and a two-goal lead for one side or the other in 48%. On the record this leans a goals match.
Blackburn Rovers: 50 league matches in the bank, 14 from this season and the rest from last season. West Ham United: 50 league matches in the bank, 14 from this season and the rest from last season in the Premier League.
The question this step asks
Step four is THE BOOKIES' FAVOURITE MARKETS -- over and under, both teams to score, and the two-goal lead that pays the 2UP offer out early -- read from what these two sides have actually produced, with the denominator on every figure. Still no price: these are the match's tendencies, not its odds.
How the counting works, once for the whole step: every figure is counted over ONE side's own matches -- Blackburn Rovers's numbers over its games, West Ham United's over its own. The two clubs are never pooled into one denominator; where a single figure for this fixture is wanted, it is the AVERAGE of the two sides' rates, and says so.
For the 2UP offer the fact that matters is a two-goal lead for one team or the other at ANY point, not the final margin. In Blackburn Rovers's own 25 home matches read, one appeared in 8 (32%). In West Ham United's own 25 away matches read, 16 (64%). Averaging the two sides' rates -- never pooling their matches -- that is 48% of games.
