+1.09 points a game is the venue form gap, in AFC Hornchurch's favour: AFC Hornchurch takes 2.25 a game at home over the last two seasons, Aldershot Town 1.16 away.
AFC Hornchurch: 10 league matches in the bank. Aldershot Town: 50 league matches in the bank, 10 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
AFC Hornchurch -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 3, drew 0, lost 1 of 4, scoring 5 and conceding 1.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Altrincham 0-3 away; beat Scunthorpe United 1-0 at home; lost to Worthing 0-1 away; lost to Halifax Town 0-3 away; lost to Forest Green Rovers 0-1 at home.
The dugout
Every one of the 10 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Daryl McMahon. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
Aldershot Town -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 2, drew 2, lost 1 of 5, scoring 5 and conceding 4. Last season away: won 6, drew 3, lost 11 of 20, scoring 26 and conceding 34 -- 1.05 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: beat Tamworth 5-1 at home; lost to Barrow 0-1 away; drew with Yeovil Town 1-1 at home; beat Solihull Moors 2-1 away; beat Halifax Town 1-0 at home.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 3 different managers took its 21 matches with one recorded (10, 6, 5 apiece), most recently Scott Myles Davies with 10. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
