-0.12 points a game is the venue form gap, in Doncaster Rovers's favour: Leicester City takes 1.00 a game at home over the last two seasons, Doncaster Rovers 1.12 away.
Leicester City: 50 league matches in the bank, 8 from this season and the rest from last season in the Championship. Doncaster Rovers: 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
Leicester City -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 1, drew 0, lost 3 of 4, scoring 4 and conceding 9. Last season at home in the Championship: won 5, drew 7, lost 9 of 21, scoring 27 and conceding 33 -- 1.05 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Peterborough United 1-3 at home; drew with Barnsley 1-1 away; beat Stockport County 4-3 away; lost to Oxford United 0-4 at home; beat Plymouth Argyle 2-0 at home.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 3 different managers took its 34 matches with one recorded (18, 8, 8 apiece), most recently Russell Martin with 8. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
Doncaster Rovers -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 1, drew 1, lost 2 of 4, scoring 5 and conceding 5. Last season away: won 7, drew 3, lost 11 of 21, scoring 21 and conceding 34 -- 1.14 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: beat Burton Albion 1-0 at home; beat Peterborough United 2-0 away; lost to AFC Wimbledon 0-1 away; lost to Plymouth Argyle 2-3 at home; drew with Notts County 1-1 at home.
The dugout
Every one of the 23 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Grant McCann. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
