-0.36 points a game is the venue form gap, in Forest Green Rovers's favour: Fylde takes 1.00 a game at home over the last two seasons, Forest Green Rovers 1.36 away.
Fylde: 3 league matches in the bank. Forest Green Rovers: 50 league matches in the bank, 3 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
Fylde -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 0, drew 1, lost 0 of 1, scoring 2 and conceding 2.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Woking 2-3 away; beat Tamworth 2-1 away; drew with Wealdstone 2-2 at home.
The dugout
Every one of the 3 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Craig Mahon. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
Forest Green Rovers -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 1, drew 0, lost 0 of 1, scoring 2 and conceding 1. Last season away: won 8, drew 7, lost 9 of 24, scoring 33 and conceding 31 -- 1.29 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Boreham Wood 0-3 at home; beat Worthing 2-1 away; beat Halifax Town 3-2 at home; lost to Boreham Wood 0-1 away; beat Morecambe 5-0 at home. The last 2 of these are from last season.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 2 different managers took its 21 matches with one recorded (17, 4 apiece), most recently Robbie Savage with 17. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
