+0.48 points a game is the venue form gap, in Stockport County's favour: Stockport County takes 1.92 a game at home over the last two seasons, Bromley 1.44 away.
Stockport County: 50 league matches in the bank, 9 from this season and the rest from last season. Bromley: 50 league matches in the bank, 8 from this season and the rest from last season in the League Two.
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 3, drew 0, lost 2 of 5, scoring 13 and conceding 8. Last season at home: won 12, drew 3, lost 5 of 20, scoring 34 and conceding 22 -- 1.95 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: beat Barnsley 3-1 at home; beat Peterborough United 1-0 at home; drew with Sheffield Wednesday 0-0 away; lost to Leicester City 3-4 at home; beat Wigan Athletic 4-0 away.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 2 different managers took its 24 matches with one recorded (15, 9 apiece), most recently Jim McNulty with 9. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
Bromley -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 1, drew 1, lost 2 of 4, scoring 6 and conceding 11. Last season away in the League Two: won 9, drew 5, lost 7 of 21, scoring 28 and conceding 24 -- 1.52 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Mansfield Town 1-2 away; beat Huddersfield Town 2-1 at home; drew with Blackpool 2-2 away; lost to AFC Wimbledon 0-2 at home; lost to Leyton Orient 0-5 at home.
The dugout
Every one of the 21 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Andy Woodman. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
