+1.00 points a game is the venue form gap, in Notts County's favour: Notts County takes 1.88 a game at home over the last two seasons, Blackpool 0.88 away.
Notts County: 50 league matches in the bank, 7 from this season and the rest from last season in the League Two. Blackpool: 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
Notts County -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 1, drew 1, lost 1 of 3, scoring 3 and conceding 3. Last season at home in the League Two: won 13, drew 4, lost 5 of 22, scoring 41 and conceding 20 -- 1.95 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Reading 0-2 away; lost to Bradford City 0-1 at home; drew with Huddersfield Town 1-1 away; drew with Doncaster Rovers 1-1 away; beat Burton Albion 2-1 at home.
The dugout
Our feed records no manager against any of its banked matches, so the dugout cannot be read.
Blackpool -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 1, drew 0, lost 2 of 3, scoring 4 and conceding 6. Last season away: won 5, drew 4, lost 13 of 22, scoring 18 and conceding 32 -- 0.86 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Plymouth Argyle 2-4 at home; drew with Bromley 2-2 at home; lost to Reading 1-3 away; lost to Barnsley 1-2 away; beat Peterborough United 4-0 at home.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 2 different managers took its 19 matches with one recorded (14, 5 apiece), most recently Ian Ross Evatt with 14. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
