+0.91 points a game is the venue form gap, in Crystal Palace Ladies's favour: Crystal Palace Ladies takes 2.18 a game at home over the last two seasons, Everton Women 1.27 away.
Crystal Palace Ladies: 22 league matches in the bank, all from last season in the Women's Championship. Everton Women: 22 league matches in the bank, all 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
Crystal Palace Ladies -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
No home game yet this season. Last season at home in the Women's Championship: won 7, drew 3, lost 1 of 11, scoring 28 and conceding 13 -- 2.18 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: beat Portsmouth Ladies 6-1 at home in the Women's Championship; beat Sunderland Women 2-1 away in the Women's Championship; beat Ipswich Town W 1-0 at home in the Women's Championship; beat Charlton Athletic Ladies 3-2 at home in the Women's Championship; drew with Newcastle United W 0-0 away in the Women's Championship. The last 5 of these are from last season.
The dugout
Every one of the 5 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Josanne Potter. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
Everton Women -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
No away game yet this season. Last season away: won 4, drew 2, lost 5 of 11, scoring 14 and conceding 15 -- 1.27 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: beat Leicester City WFC 1-0 at home; lost to Arsenal Women 0-1 away; lost to Chelsea Women 1-4 at home; lost to Liverpool Women 2-3 at home; lost to Manchester United Women 1-2 away. The last 5 of these are from last season.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 2 different managers took its 6 matches with one recorded (5, 1 apiece), most recently Brian Sorensen with 1. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
