Long post but interesting. When 2 teams play b2b Home team wins 68% of the time

I was bored and noticed that there are some games this week where the same teams play each other b2b, so i researched it and found that the home team wins 68% of the time.

Here are all the occurances this season. In 4 cases one of the teams had a game in between and one team did not. I marked those games with *. The home teams score is Posted second so its (awayscore-homescore)
