Questions
Is this a sure banker?
No, and nobody's is. It is a record: how often these clubs drew before on the coupon. Tested on 942 past weeks, the top five on this list drew 26% of the time, against 24% for any match on the card. The record helps a little. It does not make a draw sure.
How did the week 26 list do?
3 of the 5 drew.
How is the list made?
Each match is scored on how often the same two clubs drew when they met before on the coupon, and how often each club draws from that end, home or away. A thin record is pulled towards the average, so one lucky draw cannot top the list. Every week is ranked only on coupons played before it.
