+0.64 points a game is the venue form gap, in Carlisle United's favour: Carlisle United takes 1.85 a game at home over the last two seasons, Harrogate Town 1.21 away.
Carlisle United: 50 league matches in the bank, 14 from this season and the rest from last season. Harrogate Town: 50 league matches in the bank, 14 from this season and the rest from last season in the League Two.
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
Carlisle United -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 2, drew 3, lost 2 of 7, scoring 15 and conceding 14. Last season at home: won 12, drew 3, lost 4 of 19, scoring 40 and conceding 22 -- 2.05 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: beat Solihull Moors 2-1 away; drew with Kidderminster Harriers 0-0 at home; beat Aldershot Town 3-1 away; beat Fylde 2-0 away; lost to Woking 2-5 at home.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 2 different managers took its 19 matches with one recorded (10, 9 apiece), most recently Rob Elliott 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.
Harrogate Town -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 4, drew 0, lost 2 of 6, scoring 9 and conceding 8. Last season away in the League Two: won 4, drew 5, lost 9 of 18, scoring 19 and conceding 24 -- 0.94 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: beat Sutton United 3-1 at home; beat Woking 1-0 away; beat AFC Hornchurch 3-0 at home; beat Hartlepool United 1-0 away; beat Eastleigh 4-1 at home.
The dugout
Every one of the 21 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.
