-0.12 points a game is the venue form gap, in Eastleigh's favour: Harrogate Town takes 0.84 a game at home over the last two seasons, Eastleigh 0.96 away.
Harrogate Town: 50 league matches in the bank, 9 from this season and the rest from last season in the League Two. Eastleigh: 50 league matches in the bank, 9 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
Harrogate Town -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 3, drew 1, lost 1 of 5, scoring 13 and conceding 8. Last season at home in the League Two: won 3, drew 2, lost 15 of 20, scoring 11 and conceding 33 -- 0.55 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Boreham Wood 1-4 away; lost to Fylde 1-2 at home; beat Tamworth 3-1 at home; beat Scunthorpe United 2-0 away; beat Gateshead 2-1 at home.
The dugout
Every one of the 20 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Simon Weaver. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
Eastleigh -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 1, drew 0, lost 3 of 4, scoring 3 and conceding 5. Last season away: won 5, drew 5, lost 10 of 20, scoring 22 and conceding 33 -- 1.00 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: beat Carlisle United 1-0 at home; lost to Sutton United 1-2 away; drew with Boreham Wood 1-1 at home; lost to Altrincham 1-2 away; drew with Aldershot Town 1-1 at home.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 4 different managers took its 20 matches with one recorded (9, 5, 5, 1 apiece), most recently Matt Gray with 9. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
