+0.48 points a game is the venue form gap, in Tamworth's favour: Tamworth takes 1.64 a game at home over the last two seasons, Scunthorpe United 1.16 away.
Tamworth: 50 league matches in the bank, 13 from this season and the rest from last season. Scunthorpe United: 50 league matches in the bank, 13 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
Tamworth -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 3, drew 1, lost 2 of 6, scoring 11 and conceding 9. Last season at home: won 9, drew 4, lost 6 of 19, scoring 29 and conceding 21 -- 1.63 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Barrow 1-2 at home; beat Hartlepool United 1-0 away; beat Sutton United 2-0 at home; lost to Aldershot Town 1-5 away; beat Wealdstone 2-1 at home.
The dugout
Every one of the 21 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Andy Peaks. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
Scunthorpe United -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 1, drew 0, lost 6 of 7, scoring 6 and conceding 14. Last season away: won 7, drew 5, lost 6 of 18, scoring 29 and conceding 30 -- 1.44 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Woking 2-3 at home; lost to Fylde 0-2 away; lost to Barrow 0-3 away; beat Hartlepool United 4-1 at home; lost to AFC Hornchurch 0-1 away.
The dugout
Every one of the 22 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Andy Butler. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
