Atherton host Trafford in the FA Cup semi-final, a direct replay of their meeting just three days prior. Both sides arrive in form with goals: Atherton have scored in all 5 of their last 5 matches, while Trafford have found the net in 4 of their last 5. Neither team kept a clean sheet in the first encounter, and neither has been defensively convincing across recent weeks.
The numbers reinforce the attacking picture. Atherton recorded BTTS in 4 of their last 5 outings; Trafford matched that figure exactly. Over 2.5 goals landed in 4 of Atherton's last 5 and in all 5 of Trafford's last 5. The sole head-to-head on record ended 2-2, with both teams on the scoresheet.
With no odds available the price is unknown, but the case for BTTS is built on consistent, verifiable data from both squads. The market should be backed accordingly. Alt play: Over 2.5 goals, equally well supported by the numbers.
