Football ratings part two

Now look at the ratings again but this time ordered by the strongest home teams: -

Home Away Score
Man Utd West Ham 2-0
Liverpool Portsmouth 1-0
Arsenal Tottenham 4-4
Aston Villa Blackburn 3-2
Fulham Wigan 2-0
Stoke Sunderland 1-0
Bolton Everton 0-1
Middlesbrough Man City 2-0
Hull Chelsea 0-3

You can see that Liverpool is highly rated as a home win but quite low on the likely goals list. Therefore, you can assume that this match would pan out as a low scoring Liverpool win. As you slip down the list, the chance of a home win gets more tenuous.
