+1.00 points a game is the venue form gap, in Kidderminster Harriers's favour: Kidderminster Harriers takes 2.00 a game at home over the last two seasons, Gateshead 1.00 away.
Kidderminster Harriers: 7 league matches in the bank. Gateshead: 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
Kidderminster Harriers -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 2, drew 2, lost 0 of 4, scoring 5 and conceding 2.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: beat Hartlepool United 2-0 at home; beat Wealdstone 4-1 away; drew with Barrow 1-1 at home; beat Southend United 3-1 away; drew with Aldershot Town 1-1 at home.
The dugout
Every one of the 7 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Paul Wotton. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
Gateshead -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 0, drew 0, lost 4 of 4, scoring 2 and conceding 11. Last season away: won 7, drew 4, lost 10 of 21, scoring 27 and conceding 42 -- 1.19 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Forest Green Rovers 0-4 away; drew with Solihull Moors 1-1 at home; lost to Harrogate Town 1-2 away; lost to Sutton United 0-1 at home; lost to Yeovil Town 0-3 away.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 3 different managers took its 14 matches with one recorded (6, 6, 2 apiece), most recently Lee Cattermole 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.
