Averaging the two sides' own rates: over 2.5 goals in 61% of their games, both teams scoring in 59%, and a two-goal lead for one side or the other in 27%. On the record this leans a goals match.
Ipswich Town W: 22 league matches in the bank, all from last season. Nottingham Forest Ladies: 22 league matches in the bank, all 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 -- Ipswich Town W's numbers over its games, Nottingham Forest Ladies'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 Ipswich Town W's own 11 home matches read, one appeared in 4 (36%). In Nottingham Forest Ladies's own 11 away matches read, 2 (18%). Averaging the two sides' rates -- never pooling their matches -- that is 27% of games.
