+0.80 points a game is the venue form gap, in Carlisle United's favour: Carlisle United takes 2.12 a game at home over the last two seasons, Forest Green Rovers 1.32 away.
Carlisle United: 50 league matches in the bank, 7 from this season and the rest from last season. Forest Green Rovers: 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
Carlisle United -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 2, drew 1, lost 1 of 4, scoring 12 and conceding 8. Last season at home: won 15, drew 3, lost 4 of 22, scoring 50 and conceding 22 -- 2.18 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: drew with Southend United 2-2 at home; lost to Boreham Wood 1-2 away; beat Scunthorpe United 4-2 at home; drew with Wealdstone 1-1 away; beat AFC Hornchurch 4-1 at home.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 2 different managers took its 23 matches with one recorded (17, 6 apiece), most recently Rob Elliott with 6. 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 2, drew 0, lost 1 of 3, scoring 3 and conceding 3. Last season away: won 7, drew 6, lost 9 of 22, scoring 29 and conceding 28 -- 1.23 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: beat Gateshead 4-0 at home; beat AFC Hornchurch 1-0 away; lost to Altrincham 1-2 at home; lost to Fylde 0-2 away; lost to Boreham Wood 0-3 at home.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 2 different managers took its 21 matches with one recorded (20, 1 apiece), most recently Robbie Savage with 20. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
