    Hi All,
    My Dad mentioned yesterday that League 2 had a higher number of away wins than any league across Europe, ( he thinks). Thought this a bit strange so thought i'd check it out. For the month of Feb. to date there has been 59 matches, of which 36 have been won by the away side. Had a look at Jan also, and although not as many, the number is not far off. Obviously there is more value in backing away teams generally. Only problem for me is that i back to form and there doesn't seem to any consistency from most of the teams, so normally not a division that i would go near. Any views anyone? Now i've mentioned it, it will probably go belly-up:D

    Stats are always handy to know and over 50% away winners is pretty good

    This has been going on for a while now. If you backed away teams blindly in this division you'd be well up. No let up of the away wins in the last set of games. I hoovered up three of them. The away prices will start to get suppressed from here on in i think.

    That's gotta be worth a tenner on each away team at least once
