+1.38 points a game is the venue form gap, in AFC Hornchurch's favour: AFC Hornchurch takes 2.50 a game at home over the last two seasons, Yeovil Town 1.12 away.
AFC Hornchurch: 14 league matches in the bank. Yeovil Town: 50 league matches in the bank, 14 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.
