-0.13 points a game is the venue form gap, in Motherwell's favour: Kilmarnock takes 1.13 a game at home over the last two seasons, Motherwell 1.26 away.
Kilmarnock: 46 league matches in the bank, 8 from this season and the rest from last season. Motherwell: 46 league matches in the bank, 8 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
Kilmarnock -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 0, drew 1, lost 3 of 4, scoring 2 and conceding 11. Last season at home: won 7, drew 4, lost 8 of 19, scoring 28 and conceding 28 -- 1.32 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Rangers 1-3 away; drew with Hearts 1-1 at home; beat Hibernian 1-0 away; drew with Aberdeen 0-0 away; lost to St. Mirren 0-1 at home.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 3 different managers took its 34 matches with one recorded (17, 16, 1 apiece), most recently Neill McCann with 16. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
Motherwell -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 1, drew 1, lost 2 of 4, scoring 6 and conceding 7. Last season away: won 6, drew 7, lost 6 of 19, scoring 27 and conceding 23 -- 1.32 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Celtic 0-2 at home; lost to Dundee 1-2 away; lost to Aberdeen 0-4 at home; lost to Rangers 0-1 away; beat Dundee United 3-0 at home.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 2 different managers took its 34 matches with one recorded (26, 8 apiece), most recently Alfred Johansson 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.
