Motherwell: 43 league matches in the bank, 5 from this season and the rest from last season. Aberdeen: 43 league matches in the bank, 5 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

Motherwell -- at home

Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 1, drew 1, lost 0 of 2, scoring 3 and conceding 0. Last season at home: won 10, drew 6, lost 3 of 19, scoring 32 and conceding 13 -- 1.89 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Rangers 0-1 away; beat Dundee United 3-0 at home; drew with St. Mirren 3-3 away; drew with Falkirk 0-0 at home; beat Hibernian 2-1 away.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 2 different managers took its 31 matches with one recorded (26, 5 apiece), most recently Alfred Johansson with 5. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.

Aberdeen -- away

Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 0, drew 0, lost 2 of 2, scoring 0 and conceding 5. Last season away: won 4, drew 2, lost 13 of 19, scoring 12 and conceding 32 -- 0.74 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: drew with Kilmarnock 0-0 at home; lost to Celtic 0-3 away; lost to Rangers 0-1 at home; lost to Dundee 0-2 away; beat Hearts 2-1 at home.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 2 different managers took its 28 matches with one recorded (16, 12 apiece), most recently Stephen Robinson with 12. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
