+0.92 points a game is the venue form gap, in Bradford City's favour: Bradford City takes 2.00 a game at home over the last two seasons, Barnsley 1.08 away.
Bradford City: 50 league matches in the bank, 7 from this season and the rest from last season. Barnsley: 50 league matches in the bank, 7 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
Bradford City -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 2, drew 0, lost 1 of 3, scoring 4 and conceding 2. Last season at home: won 13, drew 5, lost 4 of 22, scoring 28 and conceding 16 -- 2.00 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: beat Luton Town 1-0 away; beat Notts County 1-0 away; beat Mansfield Town 1-0 at home; lost to Cambridge United 1-2 at home; lost to Plymouth Argyle 0-2 away.
The dugout
Every one of the 20 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Graham Alexander. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
Barnsley -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 1, drew 1, lost 1 of 3, scoring 3 and conceding 4. Last season away: won 5, drew 8, lost 9 of 22, scoring 26 and conceding 35 -- 1.05 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: drew with Leicester City 1-1 at home; lost to Plymouth Argyle 0-3 away; lost to Stevenage 1-5 at home; beat Blackpool 2-1 at home; beat Leyton Orient 3-1 away.
The dugout
Every one of the 7 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Daniel Stendel. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
