-0.08 points a game is the venue form gap, in Solihull Moors's favour: Gateshead takes 1.04 a game at home over the last two seasons, Solihull Moors 1.12 away.
Gateshead: 50 league matches in the bank, 5 from this season and the rest from last season. Solihull Moors: 50 league matches in the bank, 5 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
Gateshead -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 1, drew 0, lost 1 of 2, scoring 2 and conceding 1. Last season at home: won 6, drew 4, lost 12 of 22, scoring 25 and conceding 41 -- 1.00 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Harrogate Town 1-2 away; lost to Sutton United 0-1 at home; lost to Yeovil Town 0-3 away; beat Woking 2-0 at home; lost to Eastleigh 1-2 away.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 3 different managers took its 14 matches with one recorded (6, 4, 4 apiece), most recently Lee Cattermole with 4. 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 2 of 2, scoring 3 and conceding 8. 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 Fylde 1-3 at home; lost to Scunthorpe United 1-3 away; lost to Southend United 1-3 at home; lost to Boston United 0-2 at home; lost to Harrogate Town 2-5 away.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 3 different managers took its 22 matches with one recorded (12, 9, 1 apiece), most recently Chris Millington with 12. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
