+0.45 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, Huddersfield Town 1.15 away.
Plymouth Argyle: 50 league matches in the bank, 10 from this season and the rest from last season. Huddersfield Town: 50 league matches in the bank, 9 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 3, drew 0, lost 2 of 5, scoring 8 and conceding 5. Last season at home: won 9, drew 4, lost 7 of 20, scoring 31 and conceding 29 -- 1.55 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: beat AFC Wimbledon 2-1 at home; beat Leyton Orient 2-0 away; lost to Burton Albion 0-1 at home; beat Blackpool 4-2 away; beat Barnsley 3-0 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.
Huddersfield Town -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 2, drew 2, lost 1 of 5, scoring 7 and conceding 5. Last season away: won 6, drew 4, lost 11 of 21, scoring 28 and conceding 34 -- 1.05 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: drew with Sheffield Wednesday 2-2 at home; beat Burton Albion 3-1 away; lost to Bromley 1-2 away; drew with Mansfield Town 0-0 away; drew with Notts County 1-1 at home.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 2 different managers took its 13 matches with one recorded (8, 5 apiece), most recently Liam Manning 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.
