+0.26 points a game is the venue form gap, in AFC Bournemouth's favour: AFC Bournemouth takes 1.63 a game at home over the last two seasons, Everton 1.37 away.
AFC Bournemouth: 39 league matches in the bank, 1 from this season and the rest from last season. Everton: 39 league matches in the bank, 1 from this season and the rest from last season.
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
AFC Bournemouth -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
No home game yet this season. Last season at home: won 7, drew 10, lost 2 of 19, scoring 29 and conceding 20 -- 1.63 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Manchester City 1-2 away; drew with Nottingham Forest 1-1 away; drew with Manchester City 1-1 at home; beat Fulham 1-0 away; beat Crystal Palace 3-0 at home. The last 4 of these are from last season.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 2 different managers took its 39 matches with one recorded (38, 1 apiece), most recently Marco Rose with 1. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
Everton -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
No away game yet this season. Last season away: won 7, drew 5, lost 7 of 19, scoring 21 and conceding 23 -- 1.37 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: beat Crystal Palace 2-0 at home; lost to Tottenham Hotspur 0-1 away; lost to Sunderland 1-3 at home; drew with Crystal Palace 2-2 away; drew with Manchester City 3-3 at home. The last 4 of these are from last season.
The dugout
Every one of the 38 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by David Moyes. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
