-0.67 points a game is the venue form gap, in Sunderland Women's favour: Watford LFC takes 0.50 a game at home over the last two seasons, Sunderland Women 1.17 away.
Watford LFC: 3 league matches in the bank. Sunderland Women: 25 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
Watford LFC -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 0, drew 1, lost 1 of 2, scoring 1 and conceding 5.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Bristol City Women 1-5 at home; drew with Nottingham Forest Ladies 2-2 away; drew with Burnley W 0-0 at home.
The dugout
Our feed records no manager against any of its banked matches, so the dugout cannot be read.
Sunderland Women -- 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 2, lost 6 of 11, scoring 13 and conceding 17 -- 1.00 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: drew with Southampton W 0-0 at home; beat Burnley W 2-1 away; beat Bristol City Women 4-1 at home; lost to Ipswich Town W 1-2 away; lost to Crystal Palace Ladies 1-2 at home. The last 2 of these are from last season.
The dugout
Every one of the 1 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Melanie Copeland. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
