-0.33 points a game is the venue form gap, in Harrogate Town's favour: Aldershot Town takes 0.79 a game at home over the last two seasons, Harrogate Town 1.12 away.
Aldershot Town: 49 league matches in the bank, 3 from this season and the rest from last season. Harrogate Town: 49 league matches in the bank, 3 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
Aldershot Town -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 0, drew 0, lost 1 of 1, scoring 0 and conceding 1. Last season at home: won 5, drew 4, lost 14 of 23, scoring 32 and conceding 46 -- 0.83 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: drew with Kidderminster Harriers 1-1 away; lost to Hartlepool United 0-1 at home; beat Boston United 1-0 away; lost to Truro City 0-2 at home; lost to Brackley Town 1-2 away. The last 2 of these are from last season.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 3 different managers took its 20 matches with one recorded (11, 6, 3 apiece), most recently Scott Myles Davies with 3. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
Harrogate Town -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 1, drew 0, lost 0 of 1, scoring 3 and conceding 1. Last season away in the League Two: won 6, drew 6, lost 11 of 23, scoring 23 and conceding 30 -- 1.04 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: drew with Barrow 2-2 at home; beat Wealdstone 3-1 away; beat Solihull Moors 5-2 at home; lost to Barnet 1-2 at home in the League Two; beat Walsall 2-0 away in the League Two. The last 2 of these are from last season.
The dugout
Every one of the 19 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Simon Weaver. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
