-0.40 points a game is the venue form gap, in AFC Wimbledon's favour: Sheffield Wednesday takes 0.60 a game at home over the last two seasons, AFC Wimbledon 1.00 away.
Sheffield Wednesday: 50 league matches in the bank, 8 from this season and the rest from last season in the Championship. AFC Wimbledon: 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
Sheffield Wednesday -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 1, drew 2, lost 1 of 4, scoring 7 and conceding 3. Last season at home in the Championship: won 1, drew 7, lost 13 of 21, scoring 14 and conceding 39 -- 0.48 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: drew with Huddersfield Town 2-2 away; drew with Stockport County 0-0 at home; drew with Wigan Athletic 0-0 at home; beat Peterborough United 2-1 away; beat Wycombe Wanderers 2-1 away.
The dugout
Every one of the 34 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Henrik Pedersen. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
AFC Wimbledon -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 1, drew 1, lost 3 of 5, scoring 5 and conceding 10. Last season away: won 6, drew 4, lost 11 of 21, scoring 24 and conceding 39 -- 1.05 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Plymouth Argyle 1-2 away; drew with Cambridge United 1-1 away; drew with Milton Keynes Dons 0-0 at home; beat Doncaster Rovers 1-0 at home; beat Bromley 2-0 away.
The dugout
Every one of the 21 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Johnnie Jackson. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
