Averaging the two sides' own rates: over 2.5 goals in 61% of their games, both teams scoring in 52%, and a two-goal lead for one side or the other in 60%. On the record this leans a goals match.
Ross County: 49 league matches in the bank, 13 from this season and the rest from last season in the Scottish Championship. Peterhead: 49 league matches in the bank, 13 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, Peterhead'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 24 home matches read, one appeared in 16 (67%). In Peterhead's own 24 away matches read, 13 (54%). Averaging the two sides' rates -- never pooling their matches -- that is 60% of games.
