+0.92 points a game is the venue form gap, in Bradford City's favour: Bradford City takes 1.92 a game at home over the last two seasons, Stevenage 1.00 away.
Bradford City: 50 league matches in the bank, 9 from this season and the rest from last season. Stevenage: 50 league matches in the bank, 8 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 1, lost 1 of 4, scoring 4 and conceding 2. Last season at home: won 12, drew 5, lost 4 of 21, scoring 25 and conceding 14 -- 1.95 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: drew with Leyton Orient 0-0 at home; drew with Reading 1-1 away; beat Luton Town 1-0 away; beat Notts County 1-0 away; beat Mansfield Town 1-0 at home.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 2 different managers took its 20 matches with one recorded (19, 1 apiece), most recently Michael Duff with 1. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
Stevenage -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 1, drew 2, lost 1 of 4, scoring 6 and conceding 3. Last season away: won 5, drew 5, lost 11 of 21, scoring 17 and conceding 31 -- 0.95 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: beat Wigan Athletic 1-0 at home; lost to Leyton Orient 0-1 away; beat Luton Town 2-1 at home; beat Barnsley 5-1 away; drew with Peterborough United 0-0 away.
The dugout
Every one of the 21 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Alex Revell. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
