+0.12 points a game is the venue form gap, in Aldershot Town's favour: Aldershot Town takes 1.04 a game at home over the last two seasons, Yeovil Town 0.92 away.
Aldershot Town: 50 league matches in the bank, 7 from this season and the rest from last season. Yeovil Town: 50 league matches in the bank, 7 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
Aldershot Town -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 2, drew 0, lost 1 of 3, scoring 4 and conceding 2. Last season at home: won 5, drew 4, lost 12 of 21, scoring 28 and conceding 40 -- 0.90 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: beat Solihull Moors 2-1 away; beat Halifax Town 1-0 at home; drew with Eastleigh 1-1 away; beat Harrogate Town 3-1 at home; drew with Kidderminster Harriers 1-1 away.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 3 different managers took its 21 matches with one recorded (8, 7, 6 apiece), most recently Scott Myles Davies with 7. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
Yeovil Town -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 1, drew 1, lost 1 of 3, scoring 5 and conceding 5. Last season away: won 6, drew 1, lost 15 of 22, scoring 21 and conceding 32 -- 0.86 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Fylde 1-4 at home; lost to Southend United 2-3 away; beat Tamworth 3-2 at home; beat Barrow 2-1 away; beat Gateshead 3-0 at home.
The dugout
Every one of the 8 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Mark Cooper. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
