Averaging the two sides' own rates: over 2.5 goals in 55% of their games, both teams scoring in 52%, and a two-goal lead for one side or the other in 55%. On the record there is no strong lean either way on goals.
Sheffield United Ladies: 22 league matches in the bank, all from last season. Leicester City WFC: 22 league matches in the bank, all from last season in the Women's Super 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 -- Sheffield United Ladies's numbers over its games, Leicester City WFC'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 Sheffield United Ladies's own 11 home matches read, one appeared in 6 (55%). In Leicester City WFC's own 11 away matches read, 6 (55%). Averaging the two sides' rates -- never pooling their matches -- that is 55% of games.
