Step 2 of 4 — Home and away form.

+0.71 points a game is the venue form gap, in Wrexham's favour: Wrexham takes 1.58 a game at home over the last two seasons, Birmingham City 0.88 away.

Skip to the appraisal — and the market

Wrexham: 48 league matches in the bank, 2 from this season and the rest from last season. Birmingham City: 48 league matches in the bank, 2 from this season and the rest from last season.

Step two is HOME AND AWAY FORM -- the home side judged on its home record, the away side on its away record, because those are the records that will be on the pitch. The last five reach back into last season where this season is too young to answer, and say so.

The two sides

Wrexham -- at home

Its record at the relevant venue: This season at home: won 0, drew 1, lost 0 of 1, scoring 1 and conceding 1. Last season at home: won 10, drew 7, lost 6 of 23, scoring 41 and conceding 37 -- 1.61 points a game.
Its last five league matches: Newest first: drew with Watford 1-1 at home; drew with Cardiff City 1-1 away; drew with Middlesbrough 2-2 at home; lost to Coventry City 1-3 away; beat Oxford United 1-0 away. The last 3 of these are from last season.
The dugout: Every one of the 35 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Phil Parkinson. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.

Birmingham City -- away

Its record at the relevant venue: This season away: won 0, drew 1, lost 0 of 1, scoring 0 and conceding 0. Last season away: won 5, drew 5, lost 13 of 23, scoring 18 and conceding 34 -- 0.87 points a game.
Its last five league matches: Newest first: drew with Bristol City 2-2 at home; drew with Sheffield United 0-0 away; drew with Portsmouth 1-1 away; beat Bristol City 2-1 at home; beat Preston North End 2-1 at home. The last 3 of these are from last season.
The dugout: Every one of the 33 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Chris Davies. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
