+0.67 points a game is the venue form gap, in Scunthorpe United's favour: Scunthorpe United takes 1.84 a game at home over the last two seasons, Solihull Moors 1.17 away.
Scunthorpe United: 50 league matches in the bank, 3 from this season and the rest from last season. Solihull Moors: 49 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
Scunthorpe United -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 0, drew 1, lost 0 of 1, scoring 1 and conceding 1. Last season at home: won 13, drew 6, lost 5 of 24, scoring 40 and conceding 29 -- 1.88 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Eastleigh 2-3 away; lost to Southend United 0-1 away; drew with Yeovil Town 1-1 at home; lost to Rochdale 1-2 away; beat Southend United 1-0 at home. The last 2 of these are from last season.
The dugout
Every one of the 20 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Andy Butler. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
Solihull Moors -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 0, drew 0, lost 1 of 1, scoring 2 and conceding 5. Last season away: won 6, drew 10, lost 7 of 23, scoring 27 and conceding 30 -- 1.22 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Southend United 1-3 at home; lost to Boston United 0-2 at home; lost to Harrogate Town 2-5 away; beat Yeovil Town 4-1 away; lost to Boston United 0-3 at home. 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 21 matches with one recorded (10, 10, 1 apiece), most recently Chris Millington with 10. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
