-0.16 points a game is the venue form gap, in Lincoln City's favour: Millwall takes 1.84 a game at home over the last two seasons, Lincoln City 2.00 away.
Millwall: 50 league matches in the bank, 10 from this season and the rest from last season. Lincoln City: 50 league matches in the bank, 10 from this season and the rest from last season in the League One.
The question this step asks
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
Millwall -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 2, drew 1, lost 2 of 5, scoring 9 and conceding 6. Last season at home: won 12, drew 3, lost 5 of 20, scoring 32 and conceding 18 -- 1.95 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Swansea City 0-1 at home; beat Preston North End 1-0 away; drew with West Ham United 2-2 at home; drew with Middlesbrough 2-2 away; lost to Blackburn Rovers 1-3 away.
The dugout
Every one of the 36 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Alex Neil. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
Lincoln City -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 3, drew 0, lost 2 of 5, scoring 4 and conceding 5. Last season away in the League One: won 12, drew 5, lost 3 of 20, scoring 34 and conceding 18 -- 2.05 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to West Ham United 0-6 at home; lost to Sheffield United 0-3 away; lost to Swansea City 1-2 at home; beat Bristol City 1-0 away; beat Preston North End 1-0 away.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 2 different managers took its 16 matches with one recorded (14, 2 apiece), most recently Tom William Shaw with 2. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
