+0.00 points a game is the venue form gap, in East Fife's favour: East Fife takes 1.17 a game at home over the last two seasons, Alloa Athletic 1.17 away.
East Fife: 46 league matches in the bank, 10 from this season and the rest from last season. Alloa Athletic: 46 league matches in the bank, 10 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
East Fife -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 1, drew 2, lost 2 of 5, scoring 5 and conceding 7. Last season at home: won 6, drew 4, lost 8 of 18, scoring 20 and conceding 27 -- 1.22 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: drew with Cove Rangers 1-1 away; lost to East Kilbride 0-3 at home; lost to Montrose 1-2 at home; drew with Queen of the South 1-1 away; drew with Ross County 2-2 at home.
The dugout
Every one of the 23 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Dick Campbell. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
Alloa Athletic -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 1, drew 1, lost 3 of 5, scoring 4 and conceding 7. Last season away: won 7, drew 2, lost 9 of 18, scoring 22 and conceding 21 -- 1.28 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Hamilton Academical 0-3 at home; lost to Ross County 1-4 away; lost to East Kilbride 1-2 at home; lost to Airdrieonians 0-1 away; drew with Cove Rangers 1-1 away.
The dugout
Every one of the 19 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Andy Graham. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
