Averaging the two sides' own rates: over 2.5 goals in 57% of their games, both teams scoring in 63%, and a two-goal lead for one side or the other in 56%. On the record this leans a goals match.
Milton Keynes Dons: 50 league matches in the bank, 8 from this season and the rest from last season in the League Two. Luton Town: 50 league matches in the bank, 8 from this season and the rest from last season.
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 -- Milton Keynes Dons's numbers over its games, Luton Town'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 Milton Keynes Dons's own 25 home matches read, one appeared in 12 (48%). In Luton Town's own 25 away matches read, 16 (64%). Averaging the two sides' rates -- never pooling their matches -- that is 56% of games.
