+0.47 points a game is the venue form gap, in Dunfermline Athletic's favour: Dunfermline Athletic takes 1.42 a game at home over the last two seasons, Raith Rovers 0.95 away.
Dunfermline Athletic: 39 league matches in the bank, 3 from this season and the rest from last season. Raith Rovers: 39 league matches in the bank, 3 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
Dunfermline Athletic -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 0, drew 1, lost 0 of 1, scoring 1 and conceding 1. Last season at home: won 7, drew 5, lost 6 of 18, scoring 24 and conceding 19 -- 1.44 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Livingston 0-2 away; drew with Ayr United 1-1 at home; drew with Inverness CT 0-0 away; drew with Arbroath 0-0 at home; beat Queen's Park 2-0 away. The last 2 of these are from last season.
The dugout
Every one of the 19 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Neil Lennon. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
Raith Rovers -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 1, drew 0, lost 0 of 1, scoring 2 and conceding 1. Last season away: won 3, drew 6, lost 9 of 18, scoring 9 and conceding 20 -- 0.83 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: beat Ayr United 2-0 at home; beat Queen's Park 2-1 away; drew with Stenhousemuir 1-1 at home; beat Ross County 3-2 at home; lost to St. Johnstone 0-2 away. The last 2 of these are from last season.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 2 different managers took its 15 matches with one recorded (8, 7 apiece), most recently Dougie Imrie with 8. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
