+0.84 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, Harrogate Town 1.00 away.
Scunthorpe United: 50 league matches in the bank, 5 from this season and the rest from last season. Harrogate Town: 50 league matches in the bank, 5 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
Scunthorpe United -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 1, drew 1, lost 0 of 2, scoring 4 and conceding 2. Last season at home: won 12, drew 6, lost 5 of 23, scoring 37 and conceding 28 -- 1.83 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Carlisle United 2-4 away; beat Solihull Moors 3-1 at home; lost to Eastleigh 2-3 away; lost to Southend United 0-1 away; drew with Yeovil Town 1-1 at home.
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.
Harrogate Town -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 1, drew 0, lost 1 of 2, scoring 4 and conceding 4. Last season away in the League Two: won 5, drew 6, lost 11 of 22, scoring 22 and conceding 30 -- 0.95 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: beat Gateshead 2-1 at home; lost to Aldershot Town 1-3 away; drew with Barrow 2-2 at home; beat Wealdstone 3-1 away; beat Solihull Moors 5-2 at home.
The dugout
