+0.36 points a game is the venue form gap, in Leicester City's favour: Leicester City takes 1.08 a game at home over the last two seasons, Wigan Athletic 0.72 away.
Leicester City: 50 league matches in the bank, 11 from this season and the rest from last season in the Championship. Wigan Athletic: 50 league matches in the bank, 11 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 2, drew 0, lost 3 of 5, scoring 6 and conceding 10. Last season at home in the Championship: won 5, drew 6, lost 9 of 20, scoring 27 and conceding 33 -- 1.05 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Luton Town 1-2 away; beat Bromley 4-0 away; beat Doncaster Rovers 2-1 at home; lost to Peterborough United 1-3 at home; drew with Barnsley 1-1 away.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 3 different managers took its 34 matches with one recorded (15, 11, 8 apiece), most recently Russell Martin with 11. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
Wigan Athletic -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 0, drew 1, lost 5 of 6, scoring 4 and conceding 9. Last season away: won 3, drew 8, lost 8 of 19, scoring 21 and conceding 34 -- 0.89 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Huddersfield Town 1-2 away; lost to Oxford United 1-2 away; beat Reading 1-0 at home; lost to Stevenage 0-1 away; lost to Wycombe Wanderers 0-1 at home.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 2 different managers took its 21 matches with one recorded (19, 2 apiece), most recently Gary Caldwell with 19. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
