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 55%. On the record this leans a goals match.
Carlisle United: 50 league matches in the bank, 14 from this season and the rest from last season. Harrogate Town: 50 league matches in the bank, 14 from this season and the rest from last season in the League Two.
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 -- Carlisle United's numbers over its games, Harrogate 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 Carlisle United's own 26 home matches read, one appeared in 18 (69%). In Harrogate Town's own 24 away matches read, 10 (42%). Averaging the two sides' rates -- never pooling their matches -- that is 55% of games.
