Averaging the two sides' own rates: over 2.5 goals in 59% of their games, both teams scoring in 40%, and a two-goal lead for one side or the other in 63%. On the record this leans a goals match.
Ross County: 47 league matches in the bank, 11 from this season and the rest from last season in the Scottish Championship. Hamilton Academical: 47 league matches in the bank, 11 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 -- Ross County's numbers over its games, Hamilton Academical'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 Ross County's own 23 home matches read, one appeared in 16 (70%). In Hamilton Academical's own 23 away matches read, 13 (57%). Averaging the two sides' rates -- never pooling their matches -- that is 63% of games.
