+1.00 points a game is the venue form gap, in Luton Town's favour: Luton Town takes 2.00 a game at home over the last two seasons, Doncaster Rovers 1.00 away.
Luton Town: 50 league matches in the bank, 11 from this season and the rest from last season. Doncaster Rovers: 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
Luton Town -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 3, drew 2, lost 1 of 6, scoring 9 and conceding 6. Last season at home: won 11, drew 6, lost 2 of 19, scoring 33 and conceding 20 -- 2.05 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: beat Leicester City 2-1 at home; beat Barnsley 2-1 at home; lost to Milton Keynes Dons 1-2 away; beat Wycombe Wanderers 4-1 away; lost to Bradford City 0-1 at home.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 2 different managers took its 19 matches with one recorded (18, 1 apiece), most recently Jack Wilshere with 18. 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 3 of 5, scoring 6 and conceding 7. Last season away: won 6, drew 3, lost 11 of 20, scoring 20 and conceding 34 -- 1.05 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 at home; lost to Stockport County 0-2 at home; lost to Leicester City 1-2 away; beat Burton Albion 1-0 at home; beat Peterborough United 2-0 away.
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.
