+0.91 points a game is the venue form gap, in Manchester City Women's favour: Manchester City Women takes 3.00 a game at home over the last two seasons, Birmingham City Women 2.09 away.
Manchester City Women: 22 league matches in the bank, all from last season. Birmingham City Women: 22 league matches in the bank, all from last season in the Women's Championship.
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
Manchester City Women -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
No home game yet this season. Last season at home: won 11, drew 0, lost 0 of 11, scoring 38 and conceding 8 -- 3.00 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: beat West Ham United Women 4-1 away; beat Liverpool Women 1-0 at home; lost to Brighton & Hove Albion Women 2-3 away; beat Manchester United Women 3-0 away; beat Tottenham Hotspur Women 5-2 at home. The last 5 of these are from last season.
The dugout
Every one of the 7 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Andree Jeglertz. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
Birmingham City Women -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
No away game yet this season. Last season away in the Women's Championship: won 7, drew 2, lost 2 of 11, scoring 19 and conceding 8 -- 2.09 points a game.
