+0.60 points a game is the venue form gap, in Plymouth Argyle's favour: Plymouth Argyle takes 1.60 a game at home over the last two seasons, Burton Albion 1.00 away.
Plymouth Argyle: 50 league matches in the bank, 7 from this season and the rest from last season. Burton Albion: 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
Plymouth Argyle -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 2, drew 0, lost 1 of 3, scoring 6 and conceding 3. Last season at home: won 10, drew 4, lost 8 of 22, scoring 32 and conceding 30 -- 1.55 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: beat Blackpool 4-2 away; beat Barnsley 3-0 at home; beat Doncaster Rovers 3-2 away; lost to Leicester City 0-2 away; beat Bradford City 2-0 at home.
The dugout
Every one of the 20 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Tom Cleverley. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
Burton Albion -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 1, drew 0, lost 2 of 3, scoring 3 and conceding 6. Last season away: won 4, drew 10, lost 8 of 22, scoring 21 and conceding 29 -- 1.00 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: drew with Mansfield Town 2-2 at home; lost to Oxford United 0-3 away; drew with Cambridge United 2-2 at home; beat AFC Wimbledon 4-1 at home; lost to Notts County 1-2 away.
The dugout
Every one of the 20 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Gary Bowyer. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
