+0.04 points a game is the venue form gap, in Wycombe Wanderers's favour: Wycombe Wanderers takes 1.72 a game at home over the last two seasons, Milton Keynes Dons 1.68 away.
Wycombe Wanderers: 50 league matches in the bank, 4 from this season and the rest from last season. Milton Keynes Dons: 50 league matches in the bank, 4 from this season and the rest from last season in the League Two.
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
Wycombe Wanderers -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 0, drew 1, lost 1 of 2, scoring 2 and conceding 3. Last season at home: won 13, drew 3, lost 7 of 23, scoring 45 and conceding 23 -- 1.83 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Sheffield Wednesday 1-2 at home; lost to Stockport County 1-5 away; drew with Plymouth Argyle 1-1 at home; drew with Blackpool 1-1 away; beat Rotherham United 3-2 at home. The last of these is from last season.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 2 different managers took its 20 matches with one recorded (12, 8 apiece), most recently Michael Duff with 12. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
Milton Keynes Dons -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 0, drew 1, lost 1 of 2, scoring 3 and conceding 5. Last season away in the League Two: won 11, drew 8, lost 4 of 23, scoring 45 and conceding 25 -- 1.78 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Wigan Athletic 1-3 away; drew with Leicester City 0-0 at home; drew with Huddersfield Town 1-1 at home; drew with Oxford United 2-2 away; drew with Fleetwood Town 1-1 away in the League Two. The last of these is from last season.
The dugout
Every one of the 22 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Paul Warne. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
