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.
