-0.01 points a game is the venue form gap, in Forfar Athletic's favour: Kelty Hearts takes 0.86 a game at home over the last two seasons, Forfar Athletic 0.87 away.
Kelty Hearts: 46 league matches in the bank, 10 from this season and the rest from last season in the Scottish League One. Forfar 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
Kelty Hearts -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 3, drew 0, lost 1 of 4, scoring 9 and conceding 7. Last season at home in the Scottish League One: won 1, drew 7, lost 10 of 18, scoring 11 and conceding 33 -- 0.56 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Stirling Albion 1-2 away; beat Spartans 2-0 away; lost to Edinburgh City 1-3 at home; lost to Clyde 1-4 away; beat Annan Athletic 2-1 at home.
The dugout
Every one of the 9 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Michael Tidser. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
Forfar Athletic -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 0, drew 2, lost 3 of 5, scoring 4 and conceding 12. Last season away: won 4, drew 6, lost 8 of 18, scoring 21 and conceding 25 -- 1.00 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Elgin City 1-2 at home; lost to Dumbarton 1-2 away; beat Annan Athletic 1-0 at home; lost to Spartans 1-5 away; lost to Stranraer 0-3 at home.
The dugout
Every one of the 20 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Jim Weir. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
