-0.03 points a game is the venue form gap, in Halifax Town's favour: Worthing takes 1.40 a game at home over the last two seasons, Halifax Town 1.43 away.
Worthing: 9 league matches in the bank. Halifax Town: 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
Worthing -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 2, drew 1, lost 2 of 5, scoring 7 and conceding 7.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: beat Hartlepool United 3-1 away; beat AFC Hornchurch 1-0 at home; drew with Barrow 2-2 at home; drew with Fylde 2-2 away; lost to Boreham Wood 2-3 at home.
The dugout
Every one of the 9 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Adam Hinshelwood. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
Halifax Town -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 1, drew 0, lost 3 of 4, scoring 4 and conceding 6. Last season away: won 9, drew 3, lost 7 of 19, scoring 24 and conceding 25 -- 1.58 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: drew with Sutton United 1-1 at home; beat Wealdstone 1-0 away; beat AFC Hornchurch 3-0 at home; lost to Aldershot Town 0-1 away; beat Hartlepool United 1-0 at home.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 2 different managers took its 21 matches with one recorded (12, 9 apiece), most recently John Matthew McGrath 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.
