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 dugout
Every one of the 13 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Sonia Bompastor. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
