+0.79 points a game is the venue form gap, in Stockport County's favour: Stockport County takes 1.79 a game at home over the last two seasons, Peterborough United 1.00 away.
Stockport County: 50 league matches in the bank, 7 from this season and the rest from last season. Peterborough United: 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
Stockport County -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 1, drew 0, lost 2 of 3, scoring 9 and conceding 7. Last season at home: won 12, drew 4, lost 5 of 21, scoring 35 and conceding 23 -- 1.90 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: drew with Sheffield Wednesday 0-0 away; lost to Leicester City 3-4 at home; beat Wigan Athletic 4-0 away; lost to Luton Town 0-2 away; beat Wycombe Wanderers 5-1 at home.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 2 different managers took its 24 matches with one recorded (17, 7 apiece), most recently Jim McNulty with 7. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
Peterborough United -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 0, drew 1, lost 2 of 3, scoring 1 and conceding 7. Last season away: won 7, drew 2, lost 12 of 21, scoring 24 and conceding 34 -- 1.10 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Doncaster Rovers 0-2 at home; drew with Milton Keynes Dons 1-1 away; lost to Sheffield Wednesday 1-2 at home; drew with Stevenage 0-0 at home; lost to Blackpool 0-4 away.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 2 different managers took its 23 matches with one recorded (16, 7 apiece), most recently Luke Williams with 16. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
